“Robbing seems to be a career with very good prospects. Should I learn from them a little?”

Although Zhang Che had to watch as a bunch of legend-qualilty subdued beasts turn into streaks of light and dissipate from his counter-kill against the group of beastmasters, his gains were still very impressive.

Just that Purple-Gold Demonic Armored Worm had left him satisfied.

Alas, he wasn’t able to equip it for now…

If it wasn’t for his moral baseline, Zhang Che might really consider learning from them and look for solo beastmasters and robbing them.

Speaking of which, Zhang Che simply had an advantage in that regard.

When a beastmaster had their guard down, the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly could go up and cast its Enchant skill, and they would basically hand over their goods obediently.

“Forget it. This kind of thing could get addicting…” Zhang Che shook his head, giving up on this extremely beautiful idea.

Since it was still early, Zhang Che rode the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and continued on his way, staying close to the ground.

He felt that he had to train his skill at controlling the sword. Although the scarlet sword was as good as an extension of his arm, slashing wherever he wanted, he still needed to go through some training to truly exhibit its might.

For example, the timing on when to make his move, or the angle to attack from; all these could be improved on.

Zhang Che had trained with Liu Gang and the others for a single day previously. Although he was far from finishing from his apprenticeship, he understood some of the basic principles, which were totally compatible with applying his control of the sword.

Moreover, directing the sword to attack was much better than Zhang Che personally brandishing a weapon. If he trained well, it could become an extremely powerful killer move!

When hunting high-level, high-quality beasts, this killer move might not be too useful. If he was facing fellow humans, however, the strength he could display was shocking. Just look at what happened when that group of beastmasters tried to rob him!

The strange creatures in this vicinity happened to be weak. Going forward, Zhang Che didn’t let the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon or the Scarlet Flame Drake make any moves. Any strange creatures saw he handled by himself, directing the sword, slaying each and every one of them.

Not only that, but in his pursuit of efficiency, Zhang Che wouldn’t strike randomly. Instead, he would choose to strike at the opportune moment and angle, guiding the scarlet sword, aiming for one shot kills.

In the beginning, Zhang Che was not able to achieve this target. Only those extremely weak strange creatures would die to a single attack. The slightly stronger ones would dodge to avoid being hit in their vitals in advance when facing mortal danger. Although the scarlet sword would still manage to severely injure them, it wasn’t able to reach the level of killing the creatures in an instant.

“‘The road to improvement is narrow and endless’, indeed. It won’t be easy to achieve perfection in my control of the sword,” Zhang Che sighed, but he didn’t lose hope.

In this world, there was no way you could achieve success overnight. As long as you worked hard and persevered, along with consolidating everything you learned, final success would definitely come one day!

———

Time passed quickly. Before he realized it, the day was over.

During the day, Zhang Che had hunted at least several dozen strange creatures and gained a decent amount of mysterious energy.

Although there wasn’t any signs of the golden vortex in his spiritual sea expanding, he felt that his speed seemed to have improved a little when he directed the sword to attack.

Even though the improvement was very minute, with Zhang Che’s sharp senses, in addition to him directly controlling the sword with his mental energy, he could clearly feel it.

This discovery excited him greatly. Even though the golden vortex didn’t expand in the end, which would allow his range of control to increase, being able to increase his attacking speed was also very, very good!

Just imagine if he could reach the level where the sword arrived just as he thought of it… what would he have to fear?

As long as the target was within the sword’s attacking range, and they weren’t able to effectively defend against it, he could kill them with a thought no matter how quickly they reacted!

Zhang Che looked up in the sky. Although he still wanted to continue hunting strange creatures, the time didn’t allow him to do that. “It’s getting dark. I’d better start looking for a place to rest…”

Once it was dark, Zhang Che wouldn’t be able to accurately determine the situation around him. The danger was simply too high to risk!

If in the future he could observe his surroundings perfectly using the golden vortex in his spiritual sea, Zhang Che would be free of the restrictions of the night, able to go anywhere as he pleased!

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon continued flying along at low altitude. Zhang Che wanted to find a big mountain for his resting ground, and at the same time let the Purple Crystal Tortoise scout around in the surrounding rock strata to see if there were any precious minerals.

——

A short while later, after passing through a valley, a majestic mountain entered Zhang Che’s sight.

What a good location! This mountain was tall and majestic, standing several hundred meters tall. It was covered in pale grey rocks, with almost no plants on it. Only a little moss-like vegetation was present on the more humid rocks, proving their resilient vitality.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Che had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon fly over there, then ordered the Purple Crystal Tortoise to start digging.

When the cave was finally dug, Zhang Che entered it. He took out a piece of exotic beast meat and had the Scarlet Flame Drake start cooking it. At the same time, the Purple Crystal Tortoise began searching in the rock strata of this mountain to see if there were any rare minerals hidden inside.

Under the Scarlet Flame Drake’s dutiful roasting, a fragrant smell soon rose from the meat. Just as Zhang Che was about to dig in, he thought for a while and summoned the frisky monkey with a wave of his hand.

Since the green land existed in the secret plane, there shouldn’t be any worries about food. So why not let the frisky monkey come out and eat too? Eating by himself was truly too harsh!

The frisky monkey grew so excited that he scrunched up his ugly face after finding out he could have some roasted meat, crying out cheerfully towards Zhang Che.

“Come, let’s eat!” Zhang Che took the roasted meat and shared half of it with the frisky monkey. At the same time, he took out another piece of exotic beast meat that had spices applied on it beforehand and gave it to the Scarlet Flame Drake to prepare at the side.

-Hmm? Why isn’t the Purple Crystal Tortoise back yet?- Zhang Che suddenly realized after finishing a portion of the roasted meat. -It has been quite some time since the Purple Crystal Tortoise went off, and it still hasn’t returned here. Did it discover a large amount of rare mineral?-

-It shouldn’t be… Even if it did discover a large amount of rare minerals, the storage space is mostly filled with meat and other resources. It won’t be able to gather much, so it should be back by now?…-

Regrettably, that fellow had no scouting ability at all. Otherwise, Zhang Che could have seen what it was doing via their spiritual link.

Right at that moment, the scarlet sword, which he had recalled into his spiritual sea, trembled along with the unused white sword…
