Chapter 154: Well Done!

The wolf howled unwillingly as it ceaselessly tried throwing Xiang Shaoyun off . It was not willing to let another human tame it since it already had a master before . Tamed demonic beasts were generally much harder to tame . They would often choose death over yielding to a second human .

"Shut up already!" Xiang Shaoyun said as the presence of dragon and tiger roiled out of him . The power of the tiger's roar was mixed within his voice, and it enveloped the red wolf in a terrifying pressure that caused it to tremble in fear .

Xiang Shaoyun punched the wolf's head, knocking it down . He then jumped off the wolf, lifted it, and ruthlessly slammed it into a nearby boulder .

Bang!

The red wolf wailed miserably . Finally, Xiang Shaoyun rushed toward the wolf and stepped on its neck before asking, "Do you yield?"

As he asked the question, a presence similar to the presence of a tiger king started emanating out of his eyes, causing the wolf to be in even more fear . Among demonic beasts, the stronger a beast was, the more likely it was for other beasts to yield to it . The feeling Xiang Shaoyun was emanating gave the red wolf a sensation that Xiang Shaoyun was in fact a tiger king in human form . Thus, it finally howled its surrender .

"Howl! Howl!"

Xiang Shaoyun let the wolf howl for a bit, and he waited until the wolf completely withdrew its demonic aura and no longer showed any sign of resistance . He then removed his foot from its neck . The red wolf stood up and lowered its proud head before Xiang Shaoyun and licked his leg, expressing that it was yielding .

Xiang Shaoyun then stroked the wolf's head and said, "If you'd done this earlier, you wouldn't have needed to suffer all that . Ok, eat this . "

As Xiang Shaoyun said that, a spirit medicine appeared in his palm, causing the wolf's eyes to light up brightly . That was a mid-grade spirit medicine known as a red spirit cactus . It was a spirit medicine that would be very beneficial for a red wolf, and this red wolf longed greatly for it .

The red wolf quickly swallowed the red spirit cactus . Immediately, its demonic aura started surging .

"Huh? Breakthrough just like that?" Xiang Shaoyun was astonished . He had only given the red wolf a red spirit cactus so it could recover quickly . Surprisingly, it had actually broken through from that one medicine .

Xiang Shaoyun gave the wolf some space to break through and instead went to go loot the battlefield . He only took the bandits' severed heads and their money off them . Everything else was left alone . Even king-grade items could hardly pique his interest, much less these weapons that were of much lesser quality .

"After destroying the Redwolf Bandits, I’ll have to find a way to clear the stuff in my astral cosmos sea . Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if I have more things I need to store in the future," Xiang Shaoyun muttered .

He currently had a lot of items stored in his astral cosmos sea, with the gold lunar liquid and vicious tiger gold lotus occupying the largest amount of space . The astral cosmos sea had long been stuffed to the brim .

That was what Xiang Shaoyun was fretting over as of late . Waiting for the astral cosmos sea to slowly expand wasn’t a reliable plan . It wasn't easy to expand the astral cosmos sea unless he actually broke through into a new cultivation level . But he was still quite far away from the third stage .

More importantly, his recent breakthroughs had been too fast . He had been suppressing his cultivation so as to stabilize his foundation and get used to his new strength . He was finally done with consolidating his new cultivation level, and it was now time to grow again . That was why he had decided to attack the Redwolf Bandits .

After a long while, howls of the red wolf reverberated in the air, telling Xiang Shaoyun that the wolf was done with its breakthrough . When Xiang Shaoyun walked over, he found that the red wolf was much larger than before . It also looked even more heroic, and the wounds on its body had been completely healed .

"Not bad at all . You finally look somewhat like how a demonic beast should look," Xiang Shaoyun praised .

The red wolf stepped over and licked Xiang Shaoyun's leg, thanking him for the spirit medicine . The red wolf was a demonic beast with a common bloodline . Thus, they would only be able to speak human language after reaching the Great Demon level .

"Let's go . " Xiang Shaoyun mounted the red wolf and started heading toward the Green Bamboo Town .

He did not return to provoke the Redwolf Bandits immediately . He was sure that if he went there again, he would have all the bandits going after him . He might not fear fighting them one on one, but they had enough numbers to overwhelm him to death . Thus, he had to give them a break before going after them again .

He returned to the stele and gave the old man guarding the stele a bundle containing the three bandit heads . He said, "Here, the mission is partially completed . "

When the old man saw Xiang Shaoyun return, he thought Xiang Shaoyun was about to give up on the mission . But when he opened the bundle and saw the three heads within, he was completely shocked .

"This . . . this is Li Hao the Seven Sabers from the Redwolf Bandits! And the other two are also Transformation Realm bandits!" the old man cried out in alarm .

His alarmed shout attracted the attention of the people around them . Some of the people were here to issue new missions, some were here to accept new missions, and some were only passing by . They all gathered around the stele, creating a small uproar in the area .

"This is Li Hao the Seven Sabers? H-he's dead?"

"Oh shit, I just noticed that someone had accepted the Redwolf Bandit bounty . Is this young man the one who had accepted the bounty?"

"All three of them were famous bandits . They were at least Transformation Realm experts, and they had killed many people in the past . And now, they're dead . Haha, what good news! What a splendid death!"

"The rewards for these three are worth at least 100 low-grade spirit crystals . Who is this young man? He is so powerful!"

. . .

The people were all looking at Xiang Shaoyun curiously, traces of admiration apparent in their eyes . For this particular Redwolf Bandits bounty, one could claim part of the reward before eliminating the entire bandit group . So long as one managed to kill the known leaders of the bandit group, one would be rewarded .

Xiang Shaoyun was submitting the three heads to prove his strength and to reclaim the deposit he had made when accepting the bounty .

"Senior, can I get the reward?" Xiang Shaoyun asked, not willing to stay there to be gawked at by so many people .

"Sure, sure you can . Well done, young man!" praised the old man in excitement .

Soon, the old man gave Xiang Shaoyun 500 low-grade spirit crystals . This was a wealth capable of inviting envious eyes . After all, in the eyes of an ordinary person, this was a large sum of wealth .

After accepting the spirit crystals, Xiang Shaoyun was about to leave and grab a meal at a random restaurant before heading to bed . He would continue his hunt another day . But when he was about to leave, the old man called out at him, "Young brother, are you looking for a place to rest?"

Xiang Shaoyun nodded . "Yes . I'm kind of tired, so I'll continue another day . "

"Please come with me, then . Allow me to arrange a fine dwelling for a young hero like you," the old man offered .

Xiang Shaoyun hesitated slightly before going along with the old man . After a short while, he found that he had arrived at the Green Bamboo Academy .

So he's someone from the Green Bamboo Academy! Xiang Shaoyun thought to himself .

"I am an elder of the Green Bamboo Academy, Luo Yongcheng," the old man finally introduced himself .

"It's my pleasure to meet you," Xiang Shaoyun cupped his hands and greeted .

"Young brother, the Green Bamboo Academy will be the best place you can rest in town," said Luo Yongcheng .
