Chapter 7

The pill entered his body, and a powerful energy immediately erupted within Lin Yan.

This energy surged through his limbs and every part of his body like a flood.

The cells in his body seemed to become much more active at this moment, greedily devouring the energy released by the Qi Condensation Pill.

This state of devouring did not last long; just half an hour later, the energy contained in the two Qi Condensation Pills was completely absorbed by him.

Boom!

Right as the energy from the Qi Condensation Pills was fully absorbed, a more powerful aura suddenly erupted within Lin Yan's body.

"Fifth Rank Warrior!"

Lin Yan opened his eyes, his fists clenching slightly. Feeling the abundant power within his body, a smile of joy appeared on his face.

He had not expected that in less than a day, his cultivation would rise from a Third Rank Warrior to a Fifth Rank Warrior, advancing two whole ranks.

Such speed was truly terrifying.

Although the Qi Condensation Pills were a factor, it ultimately had to do with his divine soul.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least four to five days for him to completely absorb the energy from two Qi Condensation Pills, but he had only taken half an hour.

All of this, of course, was entirely due to his divine soul.

If not for his divine soul, it would have taken him four to five days to absorb the energy from the two Qi Condensation Pills.

"The strength of a Fifth Rank Warrior should be sufficient to move around the outer regions of the Demon Beast Mountains without much trouble."

Lin Yan stood up, a look of anticipation in his eyes. Without hesitation, he opened the door and walked out.

Thirty miles east of Jiangchuan Town, there was a massive mountain range.

Due to the presence of demon beasts, the people of Jiangchuan Town directly referred to it as the Demon Beast Mountains.

Demon beasts, like cultivators, could also cultivate and improve, and their ranks were similarly divided.

By the time Lin Yan arrived at the Demon Beast Mountains, the sky had gradually darkened.

Nighttime was generally the peak activity period for demon beasts, with many choosing to come out to hunt.

After briefly identifying the direction, Lin Yan did not hesitate. He quickly moved his feet and ran toward the left front.

Whoosh!

Lin Yan nimbly darted through the mountains. After running for about ten minutes, his body suddenly came to a halt.

At this moment, a pair of blood-red eyes was locked onto him from a short distance ahead.

"Fire Cloud Tiger."

Lin Yan's gaze sharpened, immediately recognizing the demon beast.

It was a Fire Cloud Tiger, with a body of fiery red color and fur that grew like clouds. It was extremely agile and possessed explosive strength.

In terms of strength, this Fire Cloud Tiger was roughly equivalent to a Sixth Rank Warrior.

Roar!

The Fire Cloud Tiger's eyes were fixed on Lin Yan, and it opened its massive mouth, letting out an angry roar.

From its gaze, Lin Yan could sense that he had been marked as prey.

"This luck isn't too good!" Lin Yan swallowed hard.

Demon beasts were generally much stronger in physical strength than cultivators. Now that he had just advanced to the Fifth Rank Warrior level and had not yet had time to cultivate martial arts, he seemed to have no advantage in fighting this Fire Cloud Tiger.

"You can't expect me to help you. Unless you are truly on the brink of death, you will have to rely on yourself." Gong Qianxue's cold voice echoed in Lin Yan's mind.

"Cough, I know." Lin Yan coughed dryly.

Since Gong Qianxue had said that, it was clear that he could not count on her, and he could only rely on himself.

Roar!

While Lin Yan was thinking about how to deal with the Fire Cloud Tiger, the tiger did not intend to give him much time. It roared and leaped toward him with a burst of speed.

Whoosh!

The massive body of the Fire Cloud Tiger jumped into the air, then extended its claws, revealing extremely sharp talons, and pounced at Lin Yan fiercely.

Seeing the claws that glinted with a cold light, Lin Yan's scalp tingled.

If he were scratched by those claws, he would likely be covered in blood.

Facing the attack of the Fire Cloud Tiger, Lin Yan's eyes showed a deep sense of seriousness, and he did not dare to be careless.

The Fire Cloud Tiger was very fast, and Lin Yan knew he could not outrun it.

Since that was the case, he could only fight with all his might.

Boom!

Lin Yan's body trembled, and the spiritual energy within him erupted at this moment.

His gaze sharpened, and he clenched his fist, delivering a powerful punch toward the Fire Cloud Tiger's claws.

Bang!

The sound of the collision echoed as his fist met the tiger's claws.

Then, Lin Yan's body quickly retreated, moving back several meters before stabilizing himself in a rather disheveled state.

"Hiss! This beast is so strong!"

Lin Yan looked down at his fist and saw blood marks appearing on it.

These blood marks were naturally left by the Fire Cloud Tiger's claws during the collision.

Roar!

The Fire Cloud Tiger seemed to sense that Lin Yan was an easy target, and an excited roar came from its mouth.

Whoosh!

As soon as the roar ended, the Fire Cloud Tiger's paws moved, and it pounced at Lin Yan again.

Lin Yan gritted his teeth, a determined look appearing on his young face. He clenched his fist again and engaged in battle with the Fire Cloud Tiger.

This trip to the Demon Beast Mountains was not only to find demon cores and medicinal herbs but also to undergo training.

Since it was training, there was no doubt that he would have to fight demon beasts. Moreover, he could not be sure if this Fire Cloud Tiger had a demon core until he defeated it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lin Yan's fists continuously collided with the Fire Cloud Tiger, and the low sounds of impact echoed with each collision.

Bang!

Another powerful collision.

Lin Yan's body quickly retreated and crashed into a large tree before coming to a stop.

"It seems I can't solve this beast without using my divine soul."

Lin Yan wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. At this moment, he did not look good, especially his clothes, which had been torn in many places by the Fire Cloud Tiger.

Buzz!

Lin Yan's mind moved, and the Life and Death Coffin was summoned.

"Stupid tiger! See how you can still be arrogant!"

Lin Yan shouted, and a dense black mist immediately rose from the Life and Death Coffin.

Then, the black mist quickly swirled in the air, forming a large black hand in less than a second.

As soon as the large black hand appeared, a dense and cold aura could be felt from it.
