BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Tang Li Xue's pinkish lips twitched slightly as she murmured in a worried tone: "Even this house will not last for long and will definitely crumble sooner or later if the ice blizzard kept getting heavier and heavier like this..."
Tang Li Xue decided to use her [Energy Manipulation] to reinforce the house from inside so it will not crumble down so easily under the ice blizzard continuous pounding from outside.
'Silly Fox... Bingbing... I already do what I can to help you evolve, so now I can only pray for your safety and success...' Tang Li Xue thought while grasped her fist tighter.
"By the way, how can I get out of this Silly Fox's place and go back to my own room now? Will it affect those two if I pull Silly Fox's bronze card from that black tiny box behind the door? Sigh... Forget it... I will just wait for them to finish their evolution process patiently here." Tang Li Xue complained a bit before sighed and sat on the sofa in the living room.
She sat in the lotus position and took out a low-tier spirit stone from her space pouch, then started to continue her cultivation.
Her two companions were currently evolving into the [Rare] Grade beast, so how could she wasted her time to dilly dally around without doing anything.
'Soon, I will catch up to them and become the [Rare] Grade beast too!' Tang Li Xue thought full of determination.
.....
...
.
Unknowingly, 42 hours has already passed...
Hei Yinghao felt his energy was getting more and more depleted as he assaulted nonstop by the black lightning one after another.
He understood that he was currently facing the most dangerous trial where he will need to receive the black lightning continuous tempering.
This was the do-or-die challenge where Hei Yinghao would need to finish the tempering and make his body immune to the black lightning first or die before he could finish on doing it!
Hei Yinghao already canceled his incomplete [Transfiguration: Human Form] and revert back to his fox form, so he could use all of his true strength to resist the black lightning, but who knew that the power of the black lightning also became a lot more powerful than before!
In fact, Hei Yinghao was already at his wit's end.
He already wanted to give up so many times, but every time he remembered Tang Li Xue's tears and her encouragement shout, he gritted his teeth then somehow managed to withstand the black lightning's assault.
"Just a bit more... I will only need to hold a bit more... to meet with Xue... and see her smile once more..." Hei Yinghao whispered to himself as all of the black furs on his body charred to ashes.
BOOOOOMMM~!!! BOOOOOMMM~!!!
Several bolts of black lightning struck some of his limbs and made it exploded into blood mist.
The pain was too unbearable. Hei Yinghao felt like he already wanted to give up and die, but he still gritted his teeth and murmured to himself: "Come on, Hei Yinghao! It is alright if you die... but if you die now, you will make Xue very sad. You will make her cry and blame herself for helping you evolve! Therefore you cannot die! At least, not now!"
BOOOOOMMM~!!! BOOOOOMMM~!!!
This time the several more powerful bolts of black lightning smashed his shoulder into a bloody mess. A bolt of black lightning even struck his back and penetrated through his stomach.
Hei Yinghao puked out several mouthfuls of blood. He felt his consciousness was starting to fade more and more.
But when Tang Li Xue's slender figure appeared in his mind, he gritted his teeth again and bit his tongue to regain a bit of his consciousness.
"I must not give up now... I already go this far... a bit more... only a bit more... and I can proudly meet with Xue again... with my new strength... I am sure that I can help her... to protect her... and to defeat her enemies..." Hei Yinghao roared to himself.
BOOOOOMMM~!!! BOOOOOMMM~!!!
The black lightning got more and more powerful! It could penetrate through Hei Yinghao's body now, filled his body with several fist-sized holes!
Hei Yinghao could no longer talk or move any of his limbs, but he still proudly raised his head and howled loudly to the sky.
HHHOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWLLLLLL~~~!!!
'I cannot die now! Not right now! I will never make Xue cry! I will be the man who will make Xue happy!' Hei Yinghao shouted in his mind.
BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!
The giant black lightning blasted from the sky and shot toward Hei Yinghao's spine!
BBBAAAAAAAAANGGG~!!!
It easily penetrated Hei Yinghao's spine and shattered his beast core to dust!
Different from the fragile human who was filled with weakness everywhere, the Beast Clans have very strong vitality thanks to their beast core. They could recover from any kind of wounds, no matter how bad it was.
The Beast Clans only have two weaknesses: the brain, and the beast core.
Now, the giant black lightning already shattered one of Hei Yinghao's weaknesses. The source of his vitality energy, which could recover any kind of wounds, the beast core.
Without his beast core, the current Hei Yinghao was no different from the crippled humans without their cultivation and Dantian.
Any beast would certainly fall into the ultimate despair if this happened to them. They would rather choose to die than live as a useless crippled beast.
But Hei Yinghao did not have any time to feel despair even after he was losing his beast core!
What he terrified the most right now was to make Tang Li Xue cried and blame herself for the rest of her life because of his death!
"UOOOOOOOAAAAAHHHH~!!!" Hei Yinghao used all of his last strength to shout loudly and ignited the strongest passion in his heart!
At that instant, Hei Yinghao's spirit exploded out!
If Tang Li Xue could peek at Hei Yinghao's stats right now, she would certainly drop her jaw to the ground in surprise. She increased her spirit stats bit by bit every day while withstood unbearable headache, but currently, Hei Yinghao's spirit stats improved so rapidly nonstop!
50...
100...
300...
500...
800...
1000!!!
And it still kept increasing without any sign of stopping at all!
Hei Yinghao's pair of obsidian black eyes shone with mysterious dark grey light!
His shattered beast core was actually slowly condensed once more under the control of his spirit power!
Hei Yinghao used his incredible high spirit stat to forcefully condense his shattered beast core!
BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!
As if the heaven itself was angry that Hei Yinghao was still alive, the giant black lightning struck down once more!
This time it aimed at Hei Yinghao's head!
The giant black lightning threatened to crush Hei Yinghao's brain!
Hei Yinghao slowly raised his head, and the mysterious dark grey light in his eyes shone brighter!
BAAAAAAAAANGGGG~!!!
The giant black lightning hit an invisible barrier and shattered into countless tiny sparks.
Hei Yinghao even redirected the countless tiny sparks of the giant black lightning with the strength of his spirit and used it to help him form his beast core!
The giant black lightning flashed many times toward Hei Yinghao, but it still failed to strike him.
It even helped Hei Yinghao to condense his beast core more and more.
After the beast core has been formed, Hei Yinghao's body was once again filled with vitality energy. All of the wounds on his body were starting to regenerate.
BOOOOOMMM~!!! BOOOOOMMM~!!!
As if the sky got angrier by what Hei Yinghao has done, the black lightning flashed more frequently, and its strength also tripled than before.
"Sigh... It's futile. You can't hurt me anymore." Hei Yinghao sighed in relief, but his eyes got brightened when an extremely bold idea flashed in his mind.
Since there were more black lightning attacking him right now, why not just use it to condense one more beast core?
BOOOOOMMM~!!! BOOOOOMMM~!!!
Hei Yinghao used the strength of his spirit to absorb all the fierce black lightning aimed at him and kneaded it into another beast core!
Hei Yinghao was probably the first and only beast in the entire Immortal World who has two beast cores in his body!
His current vitality energy was twice more abundant and denser than before! Even his regeneration improved by more than three times!
It only took him half an hour or so to completely recover from all of his lethal wounds.
Since the black lightning still did not stop, Hei Yinghao planned to use it to temper his body.
Hei Yinghao lifted his spirit barrier and let the powerful black lightning struck on his body again and again!
The powerful black lightning could no longer threaten him. On the contrary, it only helped him tempering his body as if the powerful blacksmith tempering the steel into the condensed steel!
Hei Yinghao's body was glistening coldly under the continuous tempering. His black furs became smoother and shinier, while his body became more polished and far stronger than before as if it was the treasure made from the precious unbreakable black jade.
The black cloud got thinner and thinner before finally dispersed completely when all the black lightning was completely exhausted.
Hei Yinghao slowly opened his eyes, and the mysterious dark grey light in his eyes slowly faded away.
Hei Yinghao stood up and slowly examined his new body.
He was already as tall as a warhorse right now, and three robust blacktails were swaying behind him.
His body looked more majestic and more refined, but more slender than before. He felt his entire body was brimming with unimaginable strength.
There were also several sharp black crystals grown out from his limbs and body as if he wore black crystal armor.
His enemies would be shredded into pieces if he crashed onto them with this sharp black crystal armor.
Hei Yinghao's spirit sense could even cover the entire front courtyard, house, and back courtyard. He could sense everything so crystal clear right now.
Thanks to his unbelievable high spirit stat, his current [Spirit Perception] was far sharper and covering a far wider range than Tang Li Xue!
Hei Yinghao also received some information about his new divine ability in his mind.
Just like before, he also got two new divine abilities after he evolved into [Rare] grade beast!
