Battle Emperor - Chapter 37

Chapter 37

The spirit beast egg entered the mouth, its taste was delicious, but after chewing it, a trace of warmth flowed through their mouths and went straight to their abdomen, quickly gathering there.

When it came into contact with their qi, this warmth immediately mixed with it.

As if it had originally been a part of their qi.

Receiving the warmth’s assistance, Xie Ao Yu could clearly feel his qi increase a little. Xie Ao Yu and Qin Yueyi look at each other, each had sparkling eyes.

Clearly, they both had experienced the same strange feeling.

Eat!

The two tossed out the skin(?) and then ate.

(TN: The Chinese apparently means cheek.)

It was the first time they had heard of this kind of spirit beast egg that could increase their qi, particularly for Qin Yueyi. After sneaking out, she had done this sort of thing plenty of times but never had this occur before. She felt like there was something odd, but overall was very happy.

Qin Yueyi had lots of talent but she was always slacking off.

Right now her strength was very low. If she had cultivated, then most likely she would have amazed people, especially since she came from a large household. If they had something like this that could increase qi without a need for cultivation, who would let it go.

One bite, two bites, three bites. In an instant it was quickly eaten.

The spirit beast egg was quickly finished off by the two people. That spirit beast egg’s warmth flowed to their abdomen, adding to their qi.

After eating, the two closed their eyes and began to control their breathing.

From this method, the permeating warmth brought considerable growth to their qi. Naturally they wouldn’t miss this opportunity and whole-heartedly cultivated. Seeing this, Xiao Bai used some water magic to extinguish the flames, preventing spirit beasts from being attracted.

An enormous amount of qi was under Xie Ao Yu’s control, and it began to surge towards upper Advanced-level.

This realm was right in front of Xie Ao Yu’s bottleneck. With the addition of the warmth’s flow, the qi grew stronger, and there were already signs of gaps appearing in the bottleneck.

Xie Ao Yu fully attacked it.

Just like a small leak will sink a great ship.

(TN: 千里之堤毁于蚁穴. Another Chinese idiom. Best translation I could find.)

The gap was that small leak, and was being violently attacked by his qi. This small leak began to grow larger. Once it was ripped apart, the qi immediately moved like it was toppling mountains and overturning seas. It surged forward, tearing through the bottleneck leaving nothing behind.  

His body shook slightly, receiving the qi’s surge.

Upper Advanced level.

Xie Ao Yu felt inexplicable joy in his heart. He had come to the Heng Duan Mountain Range to bitterly practice and gain experience, the goal being to raise his strength, but he never thought that his first breakthrough would be through these circumstances.

A spirit beast egg.

Wrong, it should be said that half a spirit beast’s egg gave him the breakthrough.

Crossing into the upper Advanced level, to him, was not only a breakthrough, but was more so a confidence booster. After all, the higher the realm, improvement would become more difficult. Looking back at the young people in Langya City, even among the twenty year-olds, there was no one as tyrannical as him.

Opening his eyes, Xie Ao Yu discovered that the sun was rising in the east.

He felt an unspeakable happiness. His body gave off a feeling of being refreshed. He stamped the ground once with his foot, then disappearing, and when he reappeared, he had reached the bottom of a tree.  

Xie Ao Yu then looked back to calculate the distance travelled.

Eleven meters!

After rising a tier, his Earth Escape Technique had expanded its reach by one meters distance.

But don’t look down on this meter. Against a master, a thousandth of a hair could determine victory. And that was just only the visible change.

(TN: Whoops.)

For instance, the speed in the ground, the speed exiting the ground, this was also a type of feeling.

Although the change seemed small, Xie Ao Yu could clearly feel the difference.

And also, these tiny changes brought terrifying fighting potentials. For instance, when he faced against Te La, if his speed was just this much faster, then Te La would have a much more difficult time to try and die together, due to the time issue.

If the ground exiting speed was faster, shortening Xie Ao Yu’s attack time, then naturally the time left for Te La to react was even less.

The Earth Escape Technique’s change was indeed right here.

Then what about the qi’s power?

Xie Ao Yu let out a long howl, leaping onto a small mountain thirty meters away. On it was a boulder at least five meter tall and three or four meters wide.

“Overlord Dragon Boxing!”

Xie Ao Yu’s fist hit the center of the boulder.

“Boom!”

In one punch, that boulder instantly blew up, sending out countless broken pieces, going out with a whistling sound, traveling out in every direction, besides the impact location. That boulder that was at least a hundred jins had been smashed.

(TN: A斤[jin] is 3/4 of a pound.)

It had a lot of strength, and was much stronger than Xie Ao Yu’s power when he was an intermediate Advanced level.

“Haha, upper Advanced level really isn’t the same.” Xie Ao Yu clenched his fist, excitedly said.

At the same time, the fierce beautiful devil Qin Yueyi who had still been cultivating, her body was rocking slightly in a very regular manner.

Following her body’s movements came out a powerful imposing manner.

This imposing manner pushed against the vicinity’s gravel, weeds, sticks, and leaves, rolling them up. Qin Yueyi’s pretty face emitted a faint halo, that gave off an incomparable holiness.

“Ya!”

Qin Yueyi with her eyes closed suddenly threw her hands up into the air. Suddenlyshe was in the center of a powerful force fluctuation.

“Hong hong hong…”

The ground appeared to have burn marks.

Qin Yueyi leapt into the air, throwing out punches one after another, hitting the ground and creating small quakes.

“I finally entered the Advanced level!” Qin Yueyi excitedly shouted out.

Xie Ao Yu laughed and said: “Going from middle Intermediate and jumping up to lower Advanced level, indeed deserves happiness.”

“What ah, I’m not happy because of that.” Qin Yueyi waved it off. Because of her excitement, her face had turned red, “You don’t understand. My family has some strength increasing pills, but those kinds of pills, if one fails to rise up to at least Advanced level after using them, then leveling up later becomes very difficult, no matter how much you cultivate. If you reach the Advanced level and then use it, there will be no side effects.”

Hearing her say this, Xie Ao Yu couldn’t help but sigh.

Why were large clan children so strong?

This was the reason, ah.

Because the clan was so large, within the clan the number of alchemists was big. Next was the fact they had so many high-grade pills that could help cultivation and increase strength quickly. They also had countless fighting skills. Those fighting skills belonged to various attributes, and were all high-grade. They could practice without worry, and raise people up. The greater the number, then in the future they could get things from outside, for example: snatching pills, fighting skills, weapons, etc. Naturally there would be more opportunities.

With Qin Yueyi’s strength, her talent was not bad, but she was lazy. But as long as she reached Advanced level, then when she used the medicines later, she would improve much faster than most people who bitterly cultivated.

“And that’s not all. I have the water attribute. If I can get the Amethyst Spirit Water, or that sort of divergent water, then it will help my cultivation a lot.” Qin Yueyi proudly puffed out her small chest, “From then on, this beauty will sleep-in daily, and my strength will still increase and be amazing.”

Xie Ao Yu smiled and said: “Maybe you can do that early on, but after reaching Rainbow level, Sage level, I’m afraid that external things will have no more use, and you’ll have to cultivate yourself.”

“Che, based on this beauty’s god-given wisdom, when that time comes, I’ll definitely figure something out.” Qin Yueyi said with lots of self-confidence.

Xie Ao Yu laughed a little, “It looks like before we find the Amethyst Spirit Water, we’ll have to solve some other little problem first.”

Qin Yueyi followed where his eyes were looking and saw Te La with thirty or so people, and he was staring at them with the bloodlust of a spirit beast, his face’s muscles were violently shaking.

“Hey, we only haven’t seen each other for one night, there’s no reason for you to miss us this much right?” Qin Yueyi waved.

Te La fiercely said: “I want you guys to die!”
