Chapter 8: Punching Strength Over 5000kg!
Chapter 8: Punching Strength Over 5000kg!
......
CRACK!
A loud cracking sound reverberated as the neck of the once-mighty Cockatoo was twisted two different ways!
The beast wasn't even given the chance to resist such overwhelming might, as it fell to the ground with a loud bam.
And as the light faded from its baseball-sized eyes, a few system notifications rang out inside Azmodeus's head.
BLING!
*Ding!* *You have killed a spiritual beast in the Middle Stages of the Viscera Training Small Success Realm!*
*Ding!* *You have gained 1.1 Evolution Essence!*
*Ding!* *You have leveled up!*
*Ding!* *You have obtained 0.6 stat points in each of your basic attributes!*
*Ding!* *Would you like to assimilate the stats of the beast, or would you like to roll for one of its Innate Abilities?*
Azmodeus immediately clicked the 'Assimilate the Stats' option.
BLING!
*Ding!* *You have obtained 0.5 stat points in Strength, 0.6 in Speed, 0.4 in Defense, 0.5 in Qi, and 0.3 in Cultivation Talent.*
*Ding!* *Your overall combat power and cultivation realm have tremendously improved!*
After getting these pop-ups, Azmodeus sliced off the talons of the Cockatoo before opening up his system interface.
BLING!

After looking over his system interface, Azmodeus finished up his butchering as he felt a surge of strength wash over his body, increasing his physical strength up to 1100 kg!
He could hardly believe it himself, but if he were to be pitted against the him who was fourteen years old, then he would absolutely wipe the floor with him!
He was more than a little overjoyed by this fact, but in the end, his goal was far greater than what he had, so he continued his search for stronger opponents.
It was clear that the stronger the beast he fought, the more power he gained, and that was all the incentive he needed to actively hunt everything that was worth half its weight in strength!
...
A few hours quickly passed by, and it was around noon in the Yang Sect. At this time, everyone was returning from various lectures and studies, hoping to gain more insights into their cultivation.
There were thousands of members of the Yang Sect, and every single one of them possessed a strength of the Flesh Refining Realm, while the strongest of them had already touched upon the fourteenth minor stage of the Body Refinement Realm!
And today, a few Yang Sect Disciples in the Viscera Training Large Success Stage were heading toward the outskirts of the Sect, aiming to find out exactly where that trash who skipped out on his sect duties had gone.
-
"I don't understand why it is that we have to go out to bring back that waste," a man with his long hair pulled back behind him said with a slightly vexed tone.
"Can't we just have useless trash like him executed or something?? I mean, he is still in the Lowest Stages of the Strength Training Realm even after nearly two weeks of cultivation! Does trash like that really deserve to be in the Yang Sect??"
A man with his hand always on his sword looked behind his shoulder with a cold gaze and said, "You know the rules, so just shut up and let's get this over with. After all, we still get sect contributions for doing these menial tasks."
The first man who spoke shrugged his shoulders before responding, "Ai, Senior Brother. Whatever you say..."
After which, he, along with the stern sect disciple and two others, walked into the deeper parts of the Yang Forest that lay outside the Yang Sect.
------
The Yang Forest.
A wide forest that stretched on for dozens of miles and covered up the Yang Sect from the rest of the world.
It made for great cover and added an air of mystique for the Yang Sect, as the Sect itself stood atop a mountain, taking up a small area of the Great Fire Nation.
The Yang Forest was a source of supplies for all those in the Yang Sect, and most of the Entry-Level disciples and the one Trial Disciple lived out in the forest.
------
In a part of the Yang Forest, thousands of meters away from the main Sect Grounds of the Yang Sect, a boy around twelve years old with slightly above-average facial features was walking back from a bountiful hunt.
And in his satchel, there were dozens of different sets of spiritual beast ears.
All of which had been cut with skillful marks at the base of the ears, leaving quite an abundant array of superior-quality spiritual beast parts.
This will allot me a number of copper coins and sect contributions when I bring them back to the sect...
Azmodeus was aiming to acquire a certain level of funding so he could obtain some refinement powder to improve his cultivation even faster.
And to do this, he needed to keep on hunting more spiritual beasts and cutting off more of their ears.
This was done so he could prove to the sect that he had actually been killing the beasts himself.
Nevertheless, it had been over four hours since he had begun his hunting of various Spiritual Beasts, and so far, he had killed a total of twenty-two beasts in the Strength Refining Stage, thirteen beasts in the Flesh Refining Stage, six beasts in the Viscera Training Small Success Stage, and three beasts in the Viscera Training Large Success Stage.
And it was through all of these kills that he was able to increase his level to 8 and get all his stats over the 5.0 mark!
Furthermore, his punching strength had already improved past 5000 kg!
All in all, his gains over these last few hours have been utterly insane, and if anyone ever caught wind of this ludicrous cultivation realm progression speed, then they'd surely hunt him down and extract all of his secrets by cutting open his brain.
However, he already planned on keeping his strength a secret for now, so that was highly unlikely to happen.
He didn't like hiding away like a turtle and only considered this as a temporary countermeasure, but in the end, it was necessary if he wished to keep his life intact.
After all, he still owed the Infinite Evolution System more than he could ever repay, and if he wished to stay alive long enough to pay his dues, then he had to keep it on the down low.
But unfortunately for him, things didn't always go the way that one hoped...
