Chapter 13 50% Qualification! Fishing in Troubled Waters
In fact, from the moment the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear appeared, Ye Ming had many opportunities to escape the battlefield.
However, he didn't leave. Instead, he forcibly activated the second-stage Shadow Follower Gu to hide.
This is the moment we've been waiting for.
His Gu Master aptitude is only Grade C. If he continues to cultivate step by step, he will eventually only reach the third level of Gu Master.
To improve one's talent, one must take risks.
Ye Ming quickly walked to Tang Yu's side and reached out to check her aura.
"He's not dead yet, he's just exhausted and passed out."
After thinking for a moment, he decided not to take Tang Yu's life, but instead blindfolded him with his outer garment.
He wanted to return to the Haotian Sect, but he spared Tang Yu's life for greater gains.
"I still have 20% of my true essence remaining. Fortunately, activating the Blood Skull Gu doesn't require too much energy!"
Ye Ming summoned the Blood Skull Gu from the hollow orifice and then threw it next to Tang Yanran.
The Blood Skull Gu floated into the sky, and strands of blood flowed from her body, entering the Blood Skull Gu's eye sockets.
Having lost her blood, Tang Yanran became a shrunken, broken version of herself.
Following the same method, Ye Ming had the Blood Skull Gu absorb all the blood of the other deceased disciples.
This is the outer edge of the hills, where even thousand-year-old soul beasts are not common. Now, the aura of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear permeates this area.
For the time being, this area will be the safest.
He raised his hand to summon back the Blood Skull Gu, and wisps of fragrant blood flowed from the Blood Skull Gu's mouth, pouring over his body and then merging into his orifices.
After the blood spring merged into the void, Ye Ming felt the volume of his true essence sea begin to increase.
However, compared to the first time, the speed was undoubtedly much slower.
As you progress in your skill level, you'll need more and more Blood Springs!
51%, 52%...55%!
When his aptitude improved to 55%, the blood spring in his acupoint completely disappeared.
"Just a few more, and my aptitude will be up to Grade B!"
Ye Ming looked at Tang Yu lying on the ground, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Brother Tang Yu, I hope you can give it your all!"
He saw clearly the movements of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear as it left.
Bear-type spirit beasts have poor eyesight, but their sense of smell is superb!
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a very vengeful spirit beast, so letting Tang Yu go is definitely not an act of mercy!
Ye Ming guessed that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had memorized Tang Yu's aura and was planning to gather soul beasts to wipe out Tang Yu once he returned home!
He wanted to improve his qualifications, but the Haotian Sect couldn't remain peaceful. He had to stir up trouble so he could profit from the chaos.
Tie his blood-stained coat around his waist, Ye Ming carried Tang Yu on his back, and walked step by step toward the Haotian Sect as the sun set.
……
In a small village at the foot of Haotian Sect Mountain, Tang Long looked at the four teams in front of him and couldn't help but gaze into the distance.
"It's getting late, and Tang Yu still hasn't returned. Could something have happened to him?"
"That shouldn't be! We haven't encountered any thousand-year-old soul beasts this time. With Tang Yu's strength, even if he encountered a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, he should be able to escape unscathed!"
Tang Long grew increasingly anxious, a sense of foreboding creeping over him.
"Da da da!"
Just then, an outer disciple dressed in white rushed anxiously into the village.
His eyes were bloodshot, his clothes were torn in several places by tree branches, and he had several wounds on his body.
However, he seemed oblivious to this, and the moment he saw Tang Long, tears welled up in his eyes.
He gasped for breath and shouted, "Brother Tang Long! Quick, save Brother Tang Yu! He's about to be killed by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!"
"What?!"
A sudden burst of energy erupted from Tang Long's body, and six terrifying spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, and black—slowly rose from the soles of his feet, pulsating around his body.
He took a step forward and arrived directly beside the outer disciple. "What's going on! What kind of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is that??"
A flicker of fear crossed the outer disciple's eyes, and he stammered, "Dead, all dead!"
"Brother Feng is dead, Yanran is dead! Everyone is dead!"
"Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears have been spotted on the outskirts of the hills, one at the thousand-year level and the other at the three-thousand-year level!"
"Brother Tang Yu fought desperately against that dark golden dinosaur bear to save me, and now he's probably... probably..."
At this point, the outer disciple could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, covering his head and sobbing.
Tang Long was startled and shouted, "Where! Where are they!"
The disciple hurriedly told him the name of the place, and Tang Long immediately channeled his soul power and rushed out of the village.
When he rushed out of the village, he saw a scene that surprised him greatly.
As the sun set, a figure slowly walked towards them.
The clothes around his waist shimmered in the sunlight, reflecting the light off the blood.
On his back, a figure covered in blood slumped over, its head hanging limply at its sides.
"Tang Yeming! Tang Yu!!"
Tang Long cried out in surprise and quickly flew across the distance to the two of them.
As he approached, a strong smell of blood assaulted his nostrils.
When Ye Ming saw the person who had arrived, a forced smile appeared on his indifferent face.
"Brother Tang Long, I've brought Brother Tang Yu back."
"I'm sorry, I'm not strong enough. I can't save Brother Feng and the others."
Upon hearing this, the man in his thirties felt a lump in his throat.
His eyes reddened, and he reached out to pat Ye Ming's shoulder, taking Tang Yu from him.
"Good job, kid. You've done a great job."
……
At the summit of the mountain gate, inside the main hall of the Haotian Sect.
Tang Xiao sat in the high hall, with five elders sitting on either side below. On the right, there was also a woman with an extremely beautiful appearance, wearing a sky-blue dress.
"After Tang Yeming carried Tang Long back, I went to that place to check it out."
"Tang Feng and the others' bodies have been completely devoured by the soul beasts. Judging from the battle traces at the scene, two powerful soul beasts did indeed appear."
"It should be a Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear. However, I haven't been able to find any trace of them."
Tang Long, standing below, lowered his head, his face full of shame.
Before Tang Xiao could speak, the Third Elder sitting below snorted coldly.
"So, if it weren't for that kid Tang Yeming, Tang Yu would probably have had to feed soul beasts?"
"This is the soul beast eradication operation you requested?"
"Seven bloodlines of sects, thus perished in the jaws of soul beasts!!"
Tang Yu is his grandson, and he is currently lying in a hospital bed, still unconscious. How could he not be angry?
Tang Long lowered his head, not daring to reply.
Sitting in the high hall, Tang Xiao rubbed his temples and sighed, "Tang Long deserves to be punished this time, but the appearance of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears on the outskirts of the Ancient Mark Hills was something no one could have predicted!"
"However, if he hadn't discovered this during this operation, once those two dark gold bears grew up, we in the Haotian Sect would probably have lost even more disciples."
"After this matter is over, Tang Long, you will spend a month reflecting on your actions at the Cliff of Repentance!"
"The remaining three-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is yours! Within ten days, its blood must be used to appease the fallen disciples of the sect!"
"In addition, the disciples who died must be given a proper burial, and their families should be compensated as much as possible."
Tang Long bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, "Yes!"
Seeing this, the other elders said nothing more.
Tang Xiao pondered for a moment, then said, "Tang Yeming has rendered meritorious service in saving lives. He will be rewarded with one thousand gold soul coins and promoted to an inner disciple."
"His first spirit ring was able to absorb a thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur claw bear, he is definitely not an ordinary talent."
"Although his martial soul has undergone a reverse mutation, he is likely to be a late bloomer."
"When you enter the inner sect in the future, please keep a close eye on things."
The people below nodded quickly.
After Tang Xiao finished speaking, he looked at the woman with ethereal beauty and noble bearing, and said softly, "Yuehua, you just said that Xiao Hao's son is going back to the sect soon?"
"Yes, his name is Tang San, and he's a very outstanding kid."
