Chapter 723 -719: Battling a Devil Beast with Physical Strength
Xu Zihao was on the verge of going berserk, a murderous aura surging from him.
But Lin Hao’s eyes were as bright as stars. He stared at Xu Zihao without a trace of fear.
Lin Hao’s gaze seemed to possess a wondrous Magic Power. The light in Xu Zihao’s crimson eyes began to fade.
Finally, his clarity returned. “What do I have to do for you to agree?”
A smile appeared on Lin Hao’s face.
“If you can get me paper and a brush, I’ll consider it.”
That had been the final test, and Xu Zihao had passed. Lin Hao completely set aside his worries.
It wasn’t that Lin Hao had intentionally tested him, but that legendary constitution was simply too terrifying.
If Xu Zihao were a person with malicious intent, the consequences of awakening his constitution would be endless.
Hearing Lin Hao’s words, Xu Zihao froze for a moment, then became ecstatic before vanishing without a trace.
When he reappeared, he had already brought the items Lin Hao needed.
Lin Hao didn’t waste words, immediately writing out a Mantra.
This was a legacy from the Carefree Divine Monarch—a Mantra said to be able to awaken one’s constitution. Lin Hao was naturally very familiar with it; he had even studied it before.
The results were as one might expect: it was not meant for him.
The Mantra wasn’t profound or long, only a few hundred words.
Lin Hao finished writing in one go and handed it to Xu Zihao. “Go to the Ice Cave. This Mantra will increase the chances of awakening your constitution.”
Xu Zihao accepted it with both hands. The thin sheet of paper felt as heavy as a mountain in his grasp.
Xu Zihao’s expression was incredibly emotional, and he couldn’t control himself.
However, he didn’t leave.
Lin Hao smiled. “Hurry up and go.”
“If I go, what about you?”
It turned out that even now, Xu Zihao was still worried about Lin Hao’s safety.
“Ordinary Devil Beasts are no match for me. Besides, I have a secret weapon.” Lin Hao smiled, radiating confidence.
Xu Zihao said no more. After giving Lin Hao a nod, his figure flashed and entered the Ice Cave.
Lin Hao then acted again. Biting his finger, he used his blood essence as ink to trace mysterious glyphs on paper.
He was preparing to use the Beast Pattern Skill.
The Carefree Divine Monarch had no cultivation, yet he could slay many experts in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain. One of his greatest reliances was the unfathomable Beast Pattern Skill.
Of course, his use of the Beast Pattern Skill to create an army from thin air required the cooperation of a Martial Artist. This was different from Alchemy; it couldn’t be achieved with Spiritual Power alone.
Lin Hao also lacked cultivation now, so he could only prepare the glyphs this way first.
Under Lin Hao’s strokes, a mysterious and unfathomable power began to flow through the originally ordinary paper, as if it were coming to life.
Lin Hao possessed the Harmony Dominator Body, and his blood contained immense divine power.
Using his blood essence as a medium and his focus to trace the glyphs, Lin Hao’s expression was one of intense concentration.
𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
An unknown amount of time passed. When the paper ran out, Lin Hao had drawn a total of ten great glyphs.
Putting them away, Lin Hao left the area immediately.
He didn’t go far, however, stopping after only a few miles.
The area was filled with a forest of massive, disorderly boulders.
Lin Hao took a deep breath and threw a punch.
Although his cultivation was gone, his physical strength remained.
BOOM!
With a single punch, a boulder several times his size exploded into pieces.
Lin Hao didn’t pause, continuing to punch.
The area was engulfed by the sound of explosive punches and tremendous booms.
Boulder after boulder exploded under Lin Hao’s fists.
And the boulders he targeted grew larger and larger.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lin Hao stopped.
‘With my current physical strength, I can at most contend with a Martial Artist at the Soul Gathering Realm First Layer. It’s still not nearly enough.’
Lin Hao looked down, deeply dissatisfied.
If anyone else had heard this, they would have surely coughed up blood.
To be able to contend with a Soul Gathering Realm First Layer Martial Artist with physical strength alone was simply heaven-defying, yet the person in question looked as if he could still do better.
As Lin Hao was pondering, a sense of alarm suddenly rose in his heart.
He looked up and saw a colossal creature appear.
It was the black bear he had scared away earlier.
Evidently, it hadn’t gone far and had been lurking nearby.
The black bear was now eyeing him like a tiger stalking its prey, its terrifying eyes fixed on Lin Hao, looking as if it could attack at any moment.
This black bear was quite intelligent. It had grown suspicious of Lin Hao’s strength but wasn’t certain, so it didn’t dare to act rashly.
Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed. He immediately took action, stepping toward the black bear.
The black bear retreated, but this time, it didn’t flee.
Lin Hao cursed inwardly. ‘This is bad.’
However, Lin Hao was completely unafraid. A battle lust raged in his eyes.
“Come on. I won’t use my cultivation.” Lin Hao beckoned to the black bear as he spoke.
He was deliberately provoking the black bear.
A Tier Three Devil Beast already possessed a very high level of intelligence, and could even speak human words. The meaning behind Lin Hao’s words was obvious.
Being looked down upon by Lin Hao like this, the black bear flew into a rage.
With a furious roar, the black bear swiped its massive paw at Lin Hao.
Lin Hao dodged, and the earth shook. A deep crater appeared where the black bear’s attack had landed.
A small hill was pulverized by the blow.
Lin Hao’s evasion triggered an even more terrifying and frenzied assault from the black bear.
It seemed to have concluded that something was wrong with Lin Hao’s body.
The black bear’s paw seemed to grow even larger, casting a huge shadow that enveloped not only Lin Hao but also a wide area around him.
This time, Lin Hao didn’t move.
When the bear’s paw reached a certain height, Lin Hao advanced instead of retreating, approaching the black bear at a terrifying speed.
At the same time, a glyph flashed in Lin Hao’s palm.
Only by closing the distance for melee combat and slapping the glyph onto the bear would Lin Hao have a chance of Refining its Divine Soul.
This black bear was truly formidable; it actually reacted in an instant.
As it abruptly reared up, one paw formed a claw and snatched at Lin Hao, while the other swiping paw retracted like lightning and slammed toward Lin Hao’s head.
Its reaction speed was incredible.
In the blink of an eye, the bear’s claw had seized Lin Hao’s body.
The bear’s paw was immense. Lin Hao was held suspended in mid-air, as if he were a mere ant being pinched.
The moment he was caught, Lin Hao felt the urge to spurt blood.
Even Xu Zihao, at the Eighth Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm, was no match for this black bear; its ferocity was plain to see.
A fierce fire burned in Lin Hao’s eyes as he suddenly threw a punch upward.
The black bear’s other paw was descending from above. If he didn’t react, he would be annihilated.
Lin Hao’s fist wasn’t even a tenth the size of the bear’s paw.
This was truly an ant trying to shake an elephant.
But when the two collided, they produced a massive roar.
The surrounding boulders cracked from the impact.
Lin Hao’s punching arm bent.
Even with his sanctified flesh, he couldn’t withstand this blow. Bones and tendons in his arm snapped.
PFFT!
Lin Hao spat out blood.
But at that exact moment, his other hand had, at some unknown point, slapped onto the bear’s paw.
A sheet of paper covered in glyphs was particularly eye-catching.
A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed high into the air, landing squarely on the paper.
Immediately, the paper flared with a brilliant light and vanished directly into the bear’s paw.
The black bear let out a roar filled with agony.
But the claw holding Lin Hao didn’t loosen; instead, it tightened abruptly.
