“Don’t worry, Zhufeng! I will not badmouth you when I return!” Ao Liancheng said. “In fact, I will tell the soldiers that your plan had been faultless! I will also tell them about how you miraculously subdued the Giant Barbaric Tiger! I want every Neptune Soldier to know that you, Chen Zhufeng, are an undefeatable superhero! We will all start fighting for you, and it’ll be my greatest honor to do so! You have my word that after 20 days, regardless of whether your plan succeeds or not, all of our soldiers will be ready to fight – armed with the highest of morale and burning with gusto!”
Ao Liancheng spoke floridly and solemnly. His words were a strong indication that he would do everything he had promised and never let Chen Xiaobei down!
“Good brother!” Chen Xiaobei felt deeply touched. “With your strong support, I have nothing to worry about!”
With the plans laid out, the three of them parted ways.
Ao Liancheng and Su Xiaoman left on a spacecraft.
Chen Xiaobei sent his location to Wugui Koijro and waited for him to come.
“Master…” The Giant Barbaric Tiger said. “I won’t be able to fit into a spacecraft… Not unless you have an aircraft carrier…”
“Don’t worry! I have a solution for that!” Chen Xiaobei smiled. He took out a copper ring.
It was small but the intricate carvings on it were very realistic; the beasts embossed on the ring had a very feral, primal feel about them.
The ring was one of the things that Chen Xiaobei had received on the Qixi festival – the Myriad Beasts Ring from Bull Demon King!
Chen Xiaobei slipped it on his finger. The moment he had completed the Spiritual Connection process, he exclaimed, “What a gem! Its Spiritual Attribute is very powerful! It’s almost on the same level as a One-star Earth-God instrument!”
Through the Spiritual Connection, the ring’s uses and usage were transferred into Chen Xiaobei’s mind.
Ding!
[Myriad Beasts Ring: Crafted by Bull Demon King. It can store up to 10,000 Spirit Beasts. Wave your hand and 10,000 beasts will charge out to slaughter powerful enemies! In the ring, the Spirit Beasts will be in a meditative state, which can increase cultivation and recovery rate!]
“Come on! Let me give it a try!”
Chen Xiaobei willed the Giant Barbaric Tiger into the ring.
It was exactly like storing things into his Infinite Space Ring. It was all very simple.
Of course, there was a big catch – the spirit beasts stored inside must have already acknowledged their masters.
Otherwise, whatever wicked beast, demonic beast or wild beast could not be stored inside.
“Now that the tiger is in the Myriad Beasts Ring, it’ll be in a meditative state! I just need to inject Spiritual Qi into the ring to speed up the tiger’s healing!”
Chen Xiaobei took out 1 million low-grade Spiritual Stones.
Fuuuuuh!!!
The Myriad Beasts Ring sucked in all the Spiritual Qi.
Ding!
An interesting picture popped into Chen Xiaobei’s mind – a cute tiger’s head with a battery charging symbol next to it.
Only one third of the battery was charged. This meant that the injured Giant Barbaric Tiger could only wield a third of its combat power!
After the supplement of Spiritual Qi, however, the battery charge gradually increased, indicating that the ring was converting Spiritual Qi to heal the tiger.
When the battery was full, the Giant Barbaric Tiger would be completely healed, and at full capacity!
“This design is pretty interesting! Charge for 5 minutes and fight for 2 hours!” Chen Xiaobei grinned. “When I get back, I’ll put Xiao’er, Xiao Bai, Sirius, Blackwater Mystical Snake, and the three Beast Kings inside as well! I have a lot of Spiritual Stones now, anyway. It’ll be nice to use some for them to increase their cultivation rate!”
Chen Xiaobei had 99,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones, and more than 160 million low-grade Spiritual Stones – not too many that it was excessive, and not too few that it was not enough!
Taking a portion of that to help his Spirit Beasts increase their cultivation was a very wise decision.
This was especially true for Xiao’er and Xiao Bai with one being an Immortal Beast and the other a Divine Beast. Increasing their cultivation would be very advantageous.
“Xiao’er!” Chen Xiaobei suddenly cried, plunging into his pocket to retrieve the little creature. “Wake up! Wake up! Aren’t you a lazy little thing? All you do is eat and sleep! Are you a pig?”
“Mm…” Xiao’er raised its head slowly, muttering, “Bro Bei! What are you doing? Don’t you know I’m cultivating? I’m going to break through to the next cultivation level soon but you disrupted …”
“You’re cultivating?” Chen Xiaobei exploded into laughter. “I say you were dreaming! You can sleep all the time. Are you using the fats on your body to break through?”
“Hey… Bro Bei!” Xiao’er scowled. “Don’t you know? I am a Primordial Beast! I have the most top-tier of talents! Even if I only eat and sleep all day long, as long as there’s Spiritual Qi around me, I can break through to the next cultivation!”
“How… How is that possible…” Chen Xiaobei immediately used his Netherspirit Battlescouter.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Peak of Celestial Cultivation; Lifespan: 99,999,999; Health: 130,000; Combat power: 130,000]
“Wow! Wow wow wow!” Chen Xiaobei exclaimed. “You really have reached the peak of Celestial Cultivation!”
“I told you, as long as there’s Spiritual Qi around me, no matter what I’m doing, my cultivation will slowly increase!” Xiao’er said. “I’ve been sleeping since you entered Northern Wilderness Starfield because the Spiritual Qi in the air is ten times more dense than earth. That way, my cultivation can increase faster!”
Chen Xiaobei swallowed, “Also, what the hell is with your lifespan? Why is it so long?”
Xiao’er answered, “I am one of the ten fiercest insects that would exist for as long as heaven and earth exists! The number that you saw is limited by your Netherspirit Battlescouter. That’s not the actual upper limit of my lifespan!”
“Wow… Wow… okay…” Chen Xiaobei exclaimed. “You are seriously cheating ranks!. You don’t even need to do anything to break through, and you have unlimited lives! How unfair!”
“I can’t help it. Who made me a timeless spiritual being?” Xiao’er chuckled. “My ancestors were around since the beginning of time. They were on a similar level as the other highest-tiered Divine Beasts! My talent is thanks to my inheritance!”
Chen Xiaobei looked very impressed. “Incredible! Other people are Fuerdai* but you are Shenerdai*! Comparison really is the thief of joy…”
“Don’t be sad, Bro Bei, no matter how strong I am, you will always be my Bro Bei!” Xiao’er said with a smile.
Chen Xiaobei felt a tinge of warmth in his heart. “That’s more like it! Don’t say I never took good care of you! I’ve found you a place with more Spiritual Qi so that you can cultivate even faster!”
