74: Another boost to morale!

The roar of the Flesh Monster carried intense mental pollution, and eyes began to sprout in the surrounding air.

Countless arms reached out to grab Jiang Hao.

"Zheng!"

"Swish swish swish!"

A net of Saber Qi shredded all those mentally polluting limbs.

"Roar! Human!!!"

The Flesh Monster was repeatedly struck by the Soul Blade and fell into a state of shutdown.

Its walking motion immediately stopped.

Jiang Hao felt his skin itching, as if he too was about to mutate and grow strange organs.

However, as the color of Chaos flowed, all pollution was devoured and decomposed.

"Good thing my mental resistance is high."

"All-powerful Chaos Law, break for me!"

A mental storm tinged with the color of Chaos raged towards the Flesh Monster, which was about to recover.

It completely enveloped the Flesh Monster that was trying to struggle and escape.

"Crack!"

"Snap!"

Space was shattered.

The Flesh Monster was instantly crushed, exploding into a sky full of meat chunks.

Most of the meat chunks had turned gray and white, losing their vitality.

They seemed to have been petrified, torn into shreds by the howling gale.

There were still some pieces of flesh, connected by tiny threads, trying to regenerate.

"Flying Firmament Void-Breaking Slash!"

Jiang Hao wielded his long saber.

The blade carved trajectories in the air, connecting end to end, like painting in the sky.

The speed became faster and faster, leaving afterimages.

Each swing of the saber unleashed more than a dozen Saber Qi slashes.

Three-colored Saber Qi tore through everything in its path, and large swathes of spatial cracks appeared in the air.

It even formed a void.

The Flesh Monster was very strong; at least, a Ninth Rank Martial Artist who hadn't condensed a Law might not be able to kill it.

Because its ability to constantly pollute everything to repair itself was too buggy.

Martial Artists without Laws or mental attacks simply couldn't harm it!

In the past, it would have been at least a Middle Stage boss.

But Divine Ability couldn't contend with the system panel.

The Soul Blade, infused with Chaos Law, continuously struck, completely grinding away the spirit of the bizarre flesh.

All the flesh lost its vitality.

It turned gray, white, and hard.

Finally, it gradually dissipated with the wind.

"Phew! Exhausting."

"My Yuan Power and spirit are only half left!"

Jiang Hao panted slightly. This was definitely the most disgusting opponent he had ever fought.

If he hadn't been superior in skill and able to fight slightly above his rank, he might have had to run.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for receiving Mental Reinforcement!]

[spirit: 74 → 77]

A clear spring instantly gushed forth from the depths of his mind, and most of his previous fatigue disappeared.

"Hmm?"

His heart trembled.

"Mental Reinforcement, could it be from that world?"

Jiang Hao looked at this Secret Realm suspiciously.

On the surface, however, he continued to act as if his Yuan Power was exhausted and his spirit depleted.

Mo Chenxuan, who had drifted over at some point, silently watched the bizarre flesh completely die.

He didn't speak, as if recalling something alone.

Jiang Hao showed a humble smile, not sheathing his saber, and looked at this unknown powerful figure.

His inner vigilance was at its peak, ready to start the second boss battle at any moment.

Although the Heavenly Venerate boasted greatly earlier, if he was really that formidable, would he still be trapped here?

Wouldn't he just casually wipe out the pavilion?

Jiang Hao didn't believe that a wisp of a powerful figure's consciousness couldn't possess others and undergo Rebirth or something similar.

"Possessing an Incomplete Divine Position but lacking strength."

Jiang Hao hadn't forgotten about the bizarre dream mentioned by Gu Siyuan.

If it weren't for the seven 'pendants' still being part of the Councilor's faction, no matter what.

They would definitely have a backup plan if they encountered real danger.

Leaving aside everything else, just with Xia Pengcheng's status of being noticed by Councilor Xia, he wouldn't die like this!

Oh, and the Vice-Captain was also on the list.

But the other Martial Artists who entered, every single one of them, would gradually have their spirits polluted.

There might not be mutations or infections, but a drastic change in personality was inevitable!

Creating such a meaningless dream just to amuse himself.

Was this Sect Master truly still normal?

...After repeatedly suffering setbacks in the loop, the seven-member 'Pendant Group' finally gathered.

As soon as Gu Siyuan landed, he saw several people surrounded by Black Shadows all over the mountain.

On the mountaintop, a Black Shadow Giant tens of meters tall exuded a Sixth-Rank fluctuation.

"What exactly are these Black Shadows?! I can't kill them even with Saint-rank Martial Skills!"

Yu Xiyao was almost driven mad by these Black Shadows. The shadows themselves were very weak, only charging mindlessly.

A casual blow could destroy a large area.

But they couldn't be killed!

Except for Feng Qiluo's Law-infused attacks and Ye Lingxi's mental attacks created through zither music.

The others could only frustratingly 'paddle along' without contributing much.

"Looks like I came at the wrong time."

Gu Siyuan really wanted to turn around and leave. It was better to follow God Jiang!

These people were constantly suffering setbacks. Gu Siyuan was afraid he would also be infected by this curse in the future.

"Blind Man, hurry and help! Add shields! Quick, quick, quick!"

Xia Pengcheng had a heavy punch mark on his left eye, no one knew who hit him.

Feng Qiluo enveloped the sky above the mountain peak in a purple sea of thunder.

Large groups of Black Shadows were constantly cleared by falling lightning.

Streams of greenish-blue tornadoes moved towards the areas with the most Black Shadows.

"This way of fighting won't work! Let's defeat the BOSS on the mountaintop first!"

In this critical moment, Xing Yingyue even started speaking properly.

Unfortunately, she had only learned large-scale Arcane Arts attacks and Martial Skills with flashy effects, not mental-type attack Moves.

At this moment, she could only act as a huge moving light source, completely useless except for attracting more Black Shadows to bite her.

Most students at Martial Schools learned whatever looked cool.

Moves with flashy effects and powerful destructive force were the best!

After all, on Blue Star, using mental attacks against the most commonly seen Exotic Beasts was too slow.

Moreover, such Moves required extremely high spiritual attributes, and only members of large Families were qualified to learn them.

Feng Qiluo aimed at the BOSS on the mountaintop and unleashed a Wind and Thunder Spear.

The Black Shadows along the way were instantly vaporized.

"Boom!!!"

The terrifying explosion directly obliterated the mountaintop, and shattered rocks rained down.

"This Secret Realm is too much of a failure! Not only did we gain nothing, but we're also being held back by a group of shadows!"

Feng Qiluo panted heavily, her chest rising and falling with her body's movements.

She had just managed to advance to Fourth-Rank, and her Wind and Thunder Law was further perfected.

The Seventh-Rank Wind and Thunder Spear could now be used quickly!

Just as she was about to find Jiang Hao for another spar to test her weaknesses.

He actually reached Fifth-Rank!

He wasn't even hiding his cheating!

If her elders hadn't secretly warned her, she would probably have been thrashed again.

Though he could thrash her even if he hadn't reached Fifth-Rank... The other six 'pendants' also breathed a sigh of relief as the Black Shadows began to decrease.

"I didn't contribute at all this time. Sure enough, I should just go back and inherit the Family business."

Yu Xiyao plopped onto the ground, like a salted fish that had given up struggling.

Xia Pengcheng's face was ashen. In the previous loop, he hadn't noticed anything and was played like a fiddle by the dream.

Just as Feng Qiluo was about to ask about the Captain, a huge black sword slashed towards them.

"Void Domain!"

Gu Siyuan made his Move. The omnipotent strongest shield finally blocked an attack!

"No way! It's not dead?"

Feng Qiluo was dumbfounded.

That attack just now was enough to severely injure an ordinary Seventh-Rank Exotic Beast!

This Sixth-Rank Black Shadow was actually unharmed!?

Was my Wind and Thunder Law fake?

"Damn it!"

"Why have I been constantly suffering setbacks ever since I came to Shenzhou Martial Arts School!"
