Super Urban Master Chapter 172 The Earth Spirit Pearl's Advancement

Qin Hao saw a big fellow whose body was glowing golden light. It was the Earth Spirit Beast.

Now, the Earth Spirit Beast was standing majestically on the huge rock beneath his feet with all its hair standing up and s.h.i.+ning with golden brilliance.

Its horn seemed to have grown a little longer, and a white zebra line appeared at the bottom of the horn. This zebra line was the symbol of its rank.

Last night, it advanced to a Basic Spiritual Beast, which could be considered as a Rank 1 Spiritual Beast. Its strength had doubled than before.

It was true that only by following Qin Hao could it have a future. It hadn't been with him long but had already gone up two stages. It had lived on that Pacific island for hundreds of years and had never been upgraded.

Therefore, the Earth Spirit Beast was more excited this time and was more grateful to Qin Hao. Its cries were louder than last night, which attracted the attention of some people.

The first one who noticed it was the people from the Jinwu Sect. Those experts who stayed in the hotels awoke from their sleep when they heard its cries. Then, a few people ran towards the mountain.

"Little Monster, stop barking. d.a.m.n it! You always make so much noise. Don't get us into any big trouble." Qin Hao jumped down from the boulder and swore at the cheerful monster.

The beast immediately stopped howling. The golden light on its body disappeared soon, and all its hair lied down. It stretched out its tongue and licked Qin Hao's face, exhaling a lot of hot air. That's how it expressed its grat.i.tude and affection towards him.

Qin Hao touched the beast's stronger body and smoother fur, feeling extremely happy.

"Hehe, we should thank the Earth Spirit Pearl." Indeed, without the Earth Spirit Pearl, Qin Hao would probably have died, not to mention their advancement.

When he mentioned it, Qin Hao suddenly remembered that the Earth Spirit Pearl did not have much reaction.

"It has consumed much energy. Is there something wrong?" Qin Hao told Little Monster to stay and jumped onto the huge rock. Then he closed his eyes to meditate, taking a deep breath and focusing his mind on looking at the Earth Spirit Pearl with his Spirit Sense.

In the past, he could sense the existence of the Earth Spirit Pearl in this way, but he could only see a vague shadow due to the limitations of his strength. This time, it's still a dim shadow, and it's much fainter than before, just floating in his sea of consciousness without moving.

Something was wrong. He had been weaker than he was now, but he could sense it more clearly and could feel the slow rotation of the bead. Why did it not move at all now? It looked dead.

Qin Hao thought for a long time. In the end, he could only attribute it to its excessive consumption. Just like a person needed rest after overwork, the bead needed to recuperate. So, Qin Hao decided to let it have a good rest.

Qin Hao took his Spirit Sense back and switched the focus to the feeling of pleasure brought about by the increase in his strength. The Spirit Qi circulated within his muscles and vessels, and he felt the muscles and vessels were empty. He needed some Spirit Qi to replenish them. But where could he find it?

He had quite a few Spirit Acc.u.mulation Stones in his s.p.a.ce Ring, but they were useless now. Even if he used them all, they would be like a drop of water dripping into a bottomless pit. He'd better keep them for the critical moment. The other key issue was that those Spirit Acc.u.mulation Stones were of low grade and contained impurities. That's why Qin Hao had kept them untouched all the time.

Qin Hao was becoming too picky now. He didn't care about the grade of these items before.

Suddenly, he remembered something and wanted to slap himself. How could he forget the Earth Spirit Stone Ye Tianping had given him?

The Earth Spirit Stone also had pure power. He felt a thrill the very moment he took out the stone from his s.p.a.ce Ring.

He absorbed the energy of the Earth Spirit Stone without hesitation. The Peak of Martial Cultivator Third Stage was no longer a dream for him.

According to his battle experience, with the strength of the Peak of Martial Cultivator Third Stage, and equipped with the Scarlet Blood Saber, he could fight with an ancient Martial Cultivator. Even if the enemy was in the Middle Spirit Stage, he had the strength to challenge him. What did it mean? It meant that in the Fake Ancient Martial World, Qin Hao was the strongest city Martial Cultivator. He could despise everyone else.

He trembled with excitement at the thought of his might.

"Howl, howl." Little Monster was also attracted by the aura of the Spirit Stone. Having tasted the benefits of the advancement, it wanted a piece of the action again. It raised up its head as it looked at Qin Hao's hands eagerly, drooling with its tongue stretched out.

Looking at the greedy look on the beast's face, Qin Hao was speechless. This fellow was too greedy. It had already advanced twice in a row and was still not satisfied. Now, he would never share the Spirit Stone with it anyway. He needed the stone.

"Little Monster, stay there. I'll give you some good stuff in the future. Do you hear me?" Qin Hao said in an overbearing manner.

"Whooooosh." Little Monster licked its saliva and snorted twice. It reluctantly walked away from Qin Hao and sat a meter away, but its eyes never left the Earth Spirit Stone that was in Qin Hao's hands.

Qin Hao ignored it and began to urge the Spirit Strength to absorb the Spirit Stone's Spirit Qi.

When the Spirit Qi was absorbed, a vast amount of pure Qi rushed into Qin Hao's muscles and vessels like surging river water flooding into a broad channel. He had a comfortable sense of fulfillment.

Before he had time to dwell on the sensation, something stirred in his brain. The Spirit Qi that was moving towards his Dantian changed its direction suddenly and rushed upwards, charging straight into his sea of consciousness.

"What's going on?" Qin Hao was shocked. Only when he anxiously looked inside the sea of consciousness did he realize that the motionless Earth Spirit Pearl started to spin, and the Spirit Qi that was flooding into the sea of consciousness was entirely absorbed by the shadow of the bead.

"What?" Qin Hao felt sad. It turned out that the Earth Spirit Pearl was robbing him of the Spirit Qi. He wanted to stop it, but with his current strength, he could do nothing but to let the Earth Spirit Pearl absorb the pure Spirit Qi.

The Earth Spirit Pearl was formed from the Core Spirit Qi, and the Earth Spirit Stone also came from the Core of the Earth, so the stone's power was the bead's original power, and the bead would not miss it. Furthermore, it had expended considerable energy to save Qin Hao and helped him recuperate and advance, and even the Earth Spirit Beast had taken advantage of it, so it's the time for the bead to recoup its costs.

As a result, the Earth Spirit Pearl absorbed all the energy, leaving nothing to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao tried to weep but failed to shed tears. He did not have a chance to s.n.a.t.c.h a bit of energy for he was not strong enough to contend with the bead.

The Earth Spirit Pearl started to spin faster and faster as it absorbed the Spirit Qi, and its figure became clearer and clearer. Qin Hao's Spirit Sense could see the glowing pearl. It was no longer a blurry shadow as before.

The Earth Spirit Pearl had become stronger and advanced as well. Tonight, it gained a lot more than it had lost.

Qin Hao hoped that since it had been compensated, it would leave something for him. Maybe the Earth Spirit Pearl had never wanted Qin Hao to get anything, perhaps it had temporarily forgotten; anyway, it absorbed the last bit of the Spirit Qi.

When the Spirit Stone's Spirit Qi was sucked dry and turned into a dull, ordinary stone, the absorption finally stopped.

Looking at the ordinary stone in his hand, Qin Hao sighed helplessly. Then he threw it on the ground, and it landed in front of the beast.

The beast pounced forward immediately and bit the stone. With a "kcha" sound, the stone was swallowed.

Qin Hao was stunned. The beast wanted everything, even the tras.h.!.+ How desperate it was! Qin Hao did not understand what a Spirit Stone meant to a Spirit Beast. If it did not have the original power the beast needed, it would not gnaw on it.

Qin Hao helplessly shook his head at the beast, then tidied up his clothes and prepared to go down the mountain. They had been there all night, and it was almost dawn. They should go back.

When he noticed that there was something on his clothes, he saw that they were covered with blood and he felt sticky. The blood that splattered out when the meatball burst had stuck onto his body, and he had ignored it.

He couldn't go back like this. Otherwise, he would scare people to death. He had to take a bath and change his clothes.

"Let's go, Little Monster. We need a bath." Qin Hao jumped down from the rock and said to the beast.

"Howl." Little Monster responded and stood up.

Just as they were about to leave, Qin Hao felt something and stopped. He released his Spirit Sense, which had a big range of 1500 meters due to his advancement.

Sure enough, someone was coming.

The breath of three people appeared in his Spirit Sense, and all of them were Martial Cultivators. Their internal energy fluctuations were weaker than the Black and White Elders, but more than twice as strong as the experts of the Peak of Perfection Stage.

If his estimation was right, they should be three experts at the early stage of Spirit Stage.

The Spirit Stage again! Why did so many Spirit Stage experts suddenly appear in the city?

However, they were just in time. Qin Hao needed someone to practice with, and he must a.s.sess whether he could cope with Spirit Stage masters. If he was not their match, he could ask the beast for help, and if they still couldn't defeat them, they should run away.

If there were only one expert, Qin Hao would not be afraid to fight with him. But now there were three, so he felt the pressure. However, only under pressure would he be able to test his real strength; thus, he had to give it a try.

Having made up his mind, Qin Hao temporarily gave up the plan to take a bath. He quietly headed towards the three people with Little Monster.
