However, as one of the overlords of the Black water River, the Black Water Flood Dragon would not be outdone by a mere Spirit warrior. With its transparent wings vibrating, the distance between them began to close visibly.

“Damn it!”

The stench permeated through the river water, causing Blaze Regret’s face to turn grim. In desperation, he retrieved several Blue Ming Grass from his void realms stone and stuffed them into his mouth. Instantly, his nearly depleted spiritual power began to recover slowly.

“That’s ruthless,” Master Magi observed, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Refining Blue Ming Grass in such a manner would undoubtedly leave significant side effects. At the very least, Blaze Regret would endure days of pain afterward. Yet, despite this, he did not seek Master Magi’s assistance, showing a maturity far beyond his previous self.

Glancing back, Blaze Regret saw the hideous face of the Black Water Flood Dragon almost upon him. Terrified, he dove downward, narrowly avoiding the creature’s swift shadow above.

“Smack!”

As it passed, the Black Water Flood Dragon’s extensive hunting experience showed; its tail lashed out fiercely, striking Blaze Regret’s chest like a sledgehammer and sending him hurtling backward. Blood quickly spread through the river water.

With no time to wipe away the blood from his mouth, Blaze Regret frantically channeled his spiritual power. Before the Black Water Flood Dragon could turn around, he shot upward, breaking through the water’s surface with a splash and crashing onto the ground.

“Ugh!”

Coughing up another mouthful of blood, Blaze Regret clutched his chest and staggered backward. The river’s surface swelled, and the Black Water Flood Dragon leaped high, its bloody maw opening wide, relentlessly pursuing Blaze Regret.

A water type spirit beast that can survive on land! This was entirely beyond Blaze Regret’s expectations.

Pale faced, Blaze Regret swung his hand forcefully, sending the shattered Jade Spirit Pearl flying towards the Black Water Flood Dragon. The pearl had already fractured under his overuse and was now useless.

Brilliant fragments scattered in the air as the Black Water Flood Dragon charged through them, ready to devour Blaze Regret in one bite.

“You beast, get lost!”

Master Magi’s furious shout echoed, and in a flash of golden light, several pillars of light appeared out of thin air, weaving around the Black Water Flood Dragon. If it dared to move forward even a bit, these pillars would mercilessly pierce through it.

The Black Water Flood Dragon’s transparent wings halted abruptly, and it looked at Master Magi in terror. Immediately, it swirled the water around it and fled into the Black Water River.

“Saved!”

Blaze Regret smiled in relief, then collapsed to the ground, his vision quickly fading into darkness.

A green leaf was tightly clutched in his hand, lush and vibrant.

The azure sky was as clear as a mirror, with clusters of fine clouds gently drifting. Below the sky, due to the gradually cooling climate, large swathes of leaves had turned golden.

“Ugh…”

Slowly opening his eyelids, Blaze Regret shook his slightly groggy head and looked around. Upon seeing Master Magi sitting on a rock, he quietly let out a sigh of relief.

“Awake?” Master Magi’s lips curled into a faint smile when he saw Blaze Regret get up.

Blaze Regret nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed a phosphorescent tiger lying deep inside a cave. The tiger’s docile appearance, lying there obediently, had no trace of majesty, resembling more of a well behaved kitten.

“Did you do this?” Blaze Regret speechlessly looked at Master Magi. It was difficult to find another person who could make a imperial grade spirit beast so obedient.

“Hehe, how is your body feeling?” Master Magi asked with a smile.

Closing his eyelids, Blaze Regret felt for a moment. When he opened his eyes, a look of surprise surged within them because he discovered that his spiritual power had become much more robust compared to three days ago, clearly stepping into the ranks of a seventh tier spirit master!

The advancement of a spirit master inevitably meant that the spirit beast would also improve. This meant that now, Red had also reached the high level seventh tier warrior grade!

Thinking of this, Blaze Regret hurriedly opened the first spiritual portal. The lively Red immediately jumped out, pouncing into his arms, its soft fur feeling extremely comfortable.

“Don’t be too quick to celebrate. Although your strength has increased, the side effects are not small,” Master Magi said with a faint smile, shaking his head.

In the Hildan Arena, Red’s continuous battles made it normal for it to ascend a tier. However, due to Blaze Regret’s reckless actions in the Blackwater River, the spiritual portal received a strong impact. By a twist of fate, Red managed to ascend two tiers.

It was precisely this reckless behavior that caused the spiritual power within Blaze Regret’s spiritual portal to become extremely mixed, with a lot of impurities from the Blue Ming Grass.

“So many impurities,” Blaze Regret frowned slightly. After eating a little something, he sat cross legged and began to eliminate the impurities within his spiritual portal.

“Buzz!”

As Blaze Regret closed his eyes, the location of the spiritual portal on his chest suddenly began to emit two different colors of light. Due to the swift circulation of this light, flames and ice simultaneously appeared on his outstretched hands.

Tiny blue fragments were forced out of Blaze Regret’s body along his meridians, gathering in his hands. These were the impurities from the Blue Ming Grass. The beads of sweat on Blaze Regret’s forehead indicated that this process was far from pleasant.

The sun outside the cave set three times, and it was only when it rose for the fourth time that Blaze Regret slowly opened his eyes. With a flick of his fingers, a blue light embedded itself into the cave wall with a snap.

“The spiritual power of the seventh tier is nearly twice as robust as that of the fifth tier!”
