After winning the tournament Xiao Tian and Taiwu returned to the kingdom to pick up a change of clothes and say goodbye to everyone.
"Xiao Tian I didn't know you were that good, I'm proud of you." Xiao Zhaoye
"Can't you stay in the kingdom, I don't want you to leave" Xiao Hong said
"Xiao Tian are you sure you will go to the Volcano sect?" ask Princess Jia Li
"I have to go to get stronger, if you want to see me you already know how, right?" asked Xiao Tian
"Please promise me you won't find another woman when you're away from me!" princess Jia Li
"Don't worry I promise I'll wait for you to come, 'cause I went to the Fire Mountain sect not to find a woman and for now you're the only woman who managed to move my heart." said Xiao Tian while holding the hand of Jia Li's daughter
"Be.really?" said Princess Jia Li with a reddened face
"Ehmm since when did your relationship get this close?" said Xiao Hong
"It seems like soon I will finally have a grandson" Xiao Zhaoye said
Hearing the King and Queen's temptation, Xiao Tian and princess Jia Li let go of her hand and turned around. With reddened faces it was obvious that they were covering up the shame.
"Then I leave." Xiao Tian continued
"Be careful on the road." Princess Jia Li waved at Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian left the palace with Taiwu.
"Ehm, it seems like I did not let you go wrong at that time." ledek Taiwu.
"Silence you stop teasing me." Xiao Tian continued.
"Pftttt turns out you can be embarrassed too." The lightning god appeared suddenly right beside left Xiao Tian.
"Where have you been all this time!" snarled Xiao Tian.
"I'll always be with you." Taiwu continued.
"Sorry I need to, I can't keep you company."
"In addition to a god, I also have a wife and two children, I can't keep you company" said the god of lightning.
"Yes-yes, I understand."
"But next time you want to go tell me first" Xiao Tian said.
"I always have permission when I want to go." Taiwu continued.
"But I go every day when you're sleeping" said the god of lightning.
"Did you never sleep?" asked Xiao Tian.
"I sleep every night, what's the matter with you, prince?"
"Why ask a strange question?" Taiwu was puzzled by the strange question that Xiao.Tian said.
"You know that you've become a god you don't need sleep." replied the God of lightning.
"So that's it?" xiao Tian asked as he faced towards the Lightning God.
Taiwu began to realize that Xiao Tian was not talking to him, and from earlier he was being ignored.
"Pa ... prince are you talking to a ghost?" ask Taiwu.
"Hook your eyes!"
"It's obvious that I was talking to .. " before I finished the sentence Xiao Tian stopped because he remembered something.
"You forgot that?"
"He can't see or hear me." The lightning god tried to remind Xiao Tian.
"Well right too, just ignore him" Xiao Tian said
"Before going to meet elder Gu Yan you should first absorb your monster core" said the lightning god.
"Ah right too." Xiao Tian said.
"Pa ... whose real prince are you talking to?"
"And what do you mean by right?" Taiwu continued to ask Xiao Tian who was seen talking to himself and continued to ignore him.
"Let's just say I'm talking to myself" Xiao Tian explained.
Xiao Tian took out a monster core from within his spatial ring. Then sit on a large rock while holding the monster core.
"I want to absorb my monster core."
"All right." Taiwu continued.
Taiwu leaped towards the large rock that was right next to the stone that Xiao Tian had occupied. He took out a monster core from his spatial ring then did the same as Xiao Tian did.
"A lot of red ki, it seems like only those that match the fire element can absorb it. Thank goodness I have the pure element of fire."
"Whether prince Xiao Tian can absorb it huh, I don't know what element he has." Taiwu murmured in the heart.
"So this is the power of the monster core?" "truly ki is abundant, I will absorb until it runs out." Thought Xiao Tian.
When Xiao Tian absorbed the monster Core it suddenly changed the weather.
Black clouds gathered above the sky right where he was meditating.
Then the black cloud dropped dozens of white lightning strikes, the lightning continued to strike towards him but could not hit it.
The lightning always disappeared when it was already one foot away the adult with Xiao Tian's head. The lightning disappeared because it was absorbed by his martial spirit.
Xiao Tian who was focused on absorbing pure fire qi was unaware of what was going on. While Taiwu was still focused on cultivating.The two of them were not bothered by the deafening sound of lightning as they did not want to fail to absorb the qi.
After absorbing many white lightning bolts, Xiao Tian's martial spirit evolved again up to level 7. This incident was witnessed by the God of lightning.
The Lightning God standing right behind Xiao Tian continued to observe Xiao Tian's body as well as martial spirit. He's a little confused
and can't believe what he saw. The reason behind his concern was because this was the first time for him to see a martial spirit that could continue to rise in level.
Along with the increase in his martial spirit level, Xiao Tian's speed in absorbing qi also increased. He finished before Taiwu was finished, Now Xiao Tian's strength was at the level of a 6-star bronze fighter.
"It's incredible, So this top-tier monster core, just absorbing it alone can make me go through ten layers" Xiao Tian said.
"If not wrong the martial spirit of Taiwu is a tier 9 martial spirit right?"
"Why is he still cultivating?" said Xiao Tian.
"He was wounded once, and now his martial spirit is equivalent to a tier 3, although you once healed him it only healed his person, But not his martial spirit."
"If it wasn't for your help, maybe he'd be trash forever" said the God of lightning.
"So I haven't healed him yet huh?" said Xiao Tian.
"Your technique won't have any effect. Other people's martial spirits you can't touch unless you kill the owner" said the god of lightning
"Then what should I do to help him?" asked Xiao Tian.
"You need the dragon thorn crystal and the ice crystal flower, that's all you need to heal the wounds of his martial spirit" said the Lightning God.
"So not only his cultivation and body were injured. The darkness sect could injure the martial spirit without killing its owner."
"Truly a dangerous group of people." Xiao Tian said
"So we have no choice but to wait for him to cultivate huh?" asked Xiao Tian
"If you're waiting for him maybe you're done tomorrow morning, you help him by holding his back. Feel the flow of qi in his body tracing until you feel the ki flow he absorbed from the monster core. Once you have sensed the flow path of his qi, try to control the flow of qi from the monster core, and pull all that energy into Taiwu's body" the lightning god said
Xiao Tian did everything the Lightning God said to accelerate Taiwu in cultivation. With the guidance of the Lightning God he managed to speed up the cultivation process** Wu. Taiwu felt an overwhelming amount of pure qi enter his body, He also felt that someone was holding his back.
Currently Taiwu Thought that the one who helped him cultivate was an expert, After absorbing all the ki from the core of the Taiwu monster was now at the level of an 8th layer fighting Grand master.
After he finished absorbing Taiwu, he opened his eyes and turned around to thank the expert who helped him, But he was surprised that the one who helped him cultivate was Xiao Tian.
"Pa.. prince were you the one who helped me cultivate?" taiwu.
"Who else if not me, you cultivated for too long so I help you, If I wait for you we will be left behind by elder Gu Yan, let's quickly get up and continue the journey!" said Xiao Tian.
"The servant prince is truly grateful, Servant has been trying to cultivate since the strength of the servant came back But it can never go up in level because I was slow in absorbing ki, but I was never able to go up in strength, I can't believe I went up 5 layers in one day, I'm very grateful, the servant's life belongs to the prince and I promise I won't betray the prince!" said Taiwu while prostrating.
"Stop being formal, you're really ruining the mood, I've heard your vows a few times, you don't have to repeat it. However we are of the same age, just think of me as your friend, so talk as usual huh" Xiao Tian said
"Well prince." said Taiwu
"Let's stop standing, we should hurry to the border of the kingdom to meet elder Gu Yan!" said Xiao Tian
"Well prince." said Taiwu
After they finished cultivating, they went to the border to meet elder Gu Yan. Up at the border Huang Li and Elder Gu Yan were already waiting for them.
"Have you finished saying goodbye?" said Elder Gu Yan
"It has been." said Xiao Tian and Taiwu
"Then let's go!" said Elder Gu Yan
While being together with Xiao Tian elder Gu Yan felt a strange thing. Because he felt that their cultivation rose too high.
He knew that they got a high-level monster core. But he also knew that their martial spirit could not possibly absorb the core in just a few hours. Thinking of this strange thing elder Gu Yan grew increasingly interested in the two of them.
