Chapter 61: Strength Improvement

Li Ji fainted, and the sparring was naturally over.

The young beast immediately dispersed the thumb-sized magic fireballs hanging around the Holy Rank Demon Core, opened its mouth again, and swallowed the Holy Order Demon Core.

After collecting the Holy Order Demon Core, the young beast left the entrance of the cave, descended the slope, and came to Li Ji's side. Looking at the fragments of the magic fireballs that had not yet been burned, he opened his mouth again to suck all the fireworks out of the burning body, condensing them into a small fireball and swallowing it into his stomach.

Li Ji maintained the posture after being knocked to the ground by the magic fireball, and he no longer moved when he passed out on the ground, only his steady and undulating breathing proved that he was still alive.

The young beast circled around Li Ji, sniffing the unknown breath to determine Li Ji's situation. After a while, it seemed to be sure that as it expected, Li Ji just fell asleep. So, the young beast, which had recently begun to become lethargic, actually arched its legs and stretched out a lazy waist, and with the yawn that it opened its mouth, it seemed to be more tired than Li Ji.

After finishing the bedtime exercise, the young beast chose a place where the ground was fairly flat, leaned on Li Ji and lay down directly, and fell asleep with the sleepy Li Ji.

The flat land below the small slope, which was tragically destroyed by the young beast and Li Ji, was burned out of an area more than ten meters wide, like a black spot stained in a green forest, destroying the beauty. However, for this situation, Li Ji and the young beast didn't care, those weeds and vines that grew randomly were not beautiful, and they also hindered the space for Li Ji to avoid and move during his practice, but now the scope has expanded, but it is with Li Ji's intentions.

As the light smoke drifting around the ground dissipated, the sun gradually climbed above Li Ji's head. The two motionless figures lying on the ground did not seem to be aware of the scorching midday sun, and slept until they were dead.

Suddenly, Li Ji, who had been asleep for several hours, seemed to be about to wake up, and his eyelids trembled. However, it seems to be an illusion, and if his eyebrows were not scorched by the heat of the lava lake, he might be able to see it more clearly. However, after a few seconds, Li Ji opened a pair of eyes that were slightly tired and unfocused.

Li Ji's first feeling when he woke up was that his hands, which had been subjected to the impact of the magic fireball, were so heavy that it was a little difficult to lift, and it was a little difficult to even support his body and sit up.

Resisting so many magic fireballs of the young beast, although Li Ji did not vomit blood, the pain in his body was also hidden under the flesh and skin, but these pains, for the pain caused by the blood and qi passing through the meridians in the body, it was just a big thing, and now Li Ji no longer cares. It's just that not caring doesn't mean it's okay, and some movements of the body will still be affected a lot.

Li Ji glanced around, and knew in his heart the general situation after he fell unconscious. However, when he saw the young beast still lying asleep beside him, Li Ji wanted to kick him awake. It's just that when he was about to kick out, he stopped. After all, the young beast didn't do anything wrong, it was executed according to what he said, although the process of implementation was a bit tricky, but it couldn't be blamed on the young beast, although its small brain was filled with a lot of things, but it hadn't been born for a long time and it hadn't learned the ability to adapt, for example, when fighting with the fourth-level wind wolf before, it was played around by the fourth-level wind wolf when it was empty, if it wasn't for the fact that he saw something bad in the end and came up with a way to control the enemy, the consequences would not be difficult to predict. Therefore, after being annoyed at the beginning, Li Ji calmed down and didn't really kick the young beast awake.

But then again, although the young beast has made the sparring more difficult in disguise, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Because once Li Ji adapts to this difficulty, then his strength will definitely be greatly improved. Besides, today's sparring is not a failure, although Li Ji has been suppressed by the magic fireball, and was shot away in the end, he can be regarded as persevering until the last moment, after all, the blood qi in his body is almost exhausted, and the loss of mental power from high-intensity combat is also very large, especially when the blood qi in his body has been accelerating. So, overall, today's sparring can be seen as a success.

However, feeling that he had just recovered a little mental strength and a tired physical state, Li Ji felt that today's sparring could come to an end. Li Ji didn't expect this before, originally he thought that it would be the young beast that would consume the magic power first, of course, that was without the Holy Rank Demon Core. Who knew that in the end, he would be the first to fall. This is all to blame for underestimating the strength of the young beast, but he didn't expect that the impact of the magic fireball released by the young beast would be so much stronger, which led to an indirect reduction in Li Ji's strength.

At this time, it was just noon, and Li Ji, who had not recovered his mental power, could not start the blood rage, and Li Ji had no way to recover his mental power quickly, or the best way was to rest and wait for it to slowly recover by itself. It's just that this process is very long compared to Li Ji at this time.

Now, although Li Ji has woken up, he feels confused about what to do and what he can do after waking up. After thinking about it carefully, Li Ji decided to continue to sleep with the young beast. One is because he is not hungry now, after all, his body is already a lot stronger, and he is more able to withstand hunger, plus the meat of the Holy Order Demon Beast he ate in the morning is nutritious, and he is not hungry yet;

Li Ji, who lay down again, found a comfortable sleeping position, closed his eyes, and fell asleep with the tiredness that was still alive.

......

The sunset at the end of the forest has faded and the sun has set. The moon, which was larger than the millstone, very different from the way the Earth was seen, began to climb into the night sky.

The evening breeze was slightly cool, and the sound of "rustling" sounded when it blew through the forest, accompanied by the roar of the undulating demonic beasts in the distance, which added to the killing opportunity of the forest in the dark night.

Li Ji, who is not afraid of the heat, can't ignore the gradually falling temperature, so not long after the sun sets, Li Ji has already woken up. Wearing only a pair of self-designed shorts, it was difficult for him to carry the cool evening breeze, after all, it was no more comfortable and pleasant for him than the cave, where the wind blew with warmth. Therefore, after waking up the young beast that was still asleep, Li Ji returned to the cave.

Li Ji, who was hungry, prepared dinner quickly, so that the young beast after waking up instantly cheered up, and waited anxiously around the stove.

A few hours later, after dinner, Li Ji sat on his big bed, quietly feeling the recovery of his body.

After an afternoon of rest, Li Ji's mental power had almost recovered, and to his surprise, his mental power seemed to have been further improved, which was an unexpected joy for him.

Spiritual power is the most difficult one for Li Ji to improve at present, although he also has the experience of exhausting his spiritual power and waiting for it to recover on its own when he cultivates normally, but the improvement brought by his recovery is almost incalculable, and it is by no means as obvious as this time. Of course, this is not to say that the spiritual power has improved a lot this time, but it is only that it has improved significantly compared to before. It's like in the past, the spiritual power restored during cultivation was only a small point the size of a sesame seed in a bucket of water, but now, it has become a drop as big as a grain of rice.

The sudden gratifying harvest made Li Ji laugh out loud, and the sleeping young beast on the other side of the bed trembled.

After laughing for a while, Li Ji stopped reflecting on it, why is there such a big improvement this time? After careful analysis, Li Ji felt that it should be related to the pressure he received during today's sparring, in the face of the continuous magic fireballs of the young beasts, the pressure Li Ji was under was by no means comparable to his usual cultivation, not only to consume spiritual power for the blood rage and the operation of blood qi in the meridians in his body as usual, but also to concentrate on the magic fireball, which would consume some of his mental power additionally, perhaps it was because of this extra consumption that Li Ji's mental power was improved more obviously than usual. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense for Li Ji.

If this was the case, Li Ji felt that the speed at which his strength would improve would definitely be much faster in the future, after all, the amount of blood qi that could be generated by the blood rage was determined by the strength of Li Ji's spiritual power. It's just that Li Ji doesn't know if he uses this way to increase his mental power, whether it will be reduced after reaching a certain level, just like producing antibodies. However, at the moment, Li Ji can't care so much, if he really encounters that kind of situation, it will be a matter of the future, now what he needs is to improve his strength as quickly as possible, as long as this method is still effective, then he will continue to use it, unless there is another better choice.

At this moment, Li Ji was very excited, not only because he saw the way to speed up the improvement of strength, but also because of the meaning behind the improvement of strength. He seemed to have seen the avenue out of the forest opening for him. As for the aftermath, it goes without saying.

At this time, the night was getting deeper, and Li Ji, who had slept all afternoon, was also sleepy. But if I don't sleep, I'm afraid my energy will be a little short for tomorrow's sparring. Therefore, Li Ji could only lie on the bed, and the young beast who was sleeping soundly until dawn was clear.

In the next few days, Li Ji spent the next few days in sparring with the young beasts.

Until today, in the early morning, Li Ji and the young beast, who had simply eaten breakfast, left the cave and walked towards the outside of the cave.

In fact, if it was calculated according to the usual amount of food of Li Ji and the young beast, the two demonic beasts would have been eaten up a long time ago, and they would not be able to hold on to it now. The meat left of the demonic beast killed by the first young beast with a third-level magic fireball was not much, and before the sparring, plus the one that Li Ji hunted and added vegetables to the young beast, the combined meat was not enough to make up a complete one. The reason why he has been able to persist to this day is because Li Ji has eaten everything except for the internal organs, and even the bones have been broken to make soup and drink. As for why Li Ji was so economical when he could hunt first-level demonic beasts again, it was because Li Ji's strength improved rapidly after training with the young beasts, which gave him the illusion that he could have the strength to pick first-level demonic beasts with more effort, so he persevered, preparing to "if you don't make a move, you will defeat it as soon as you make a move".

And today, after training with the young beasts yesterday, Li Ji, whose strength has greatly improved, feels that he already has the strength to defeat that group of first-level demonic beasts.
