Chapter Thirty-One: Challenge

  Ji Tian didn't have the concept of refining equipment in his memories either, fortunately, his yuan dan could produce a flame, which could change the shape of objects through the flame, it should be like that.

  Ji Tian threw a cow's rib bone into the yuan dan, controlling the yuan dan to produce flames, using the high temperature of the flames to scorch the bones.

  "Crack" cattle bone fractured into bone powder.

  It would be better if there was something to protect this cow bone. He extracted a strand of spiritual energy from his dantian and wrapped it around a piece of cow bone.

  "Pa" has made progress, this time it's uneven control of spiritual power.

  On one hand, refine and transform it, on the other hand, infuse spiritual energy into the bones, preventing the bones' properties from changing, removing impurities, and retaining the essence.

  It's like this, haha, it's really hard to believe, this is actually my masterpiece.

  Jian Tian looked at a white bone-colored needle floating inside his body and clicked his tongue in wonder.

  Ji Tian refined a bone arrow, which was the spine of a magic cow, and ten bone needles. The two flying knives had not yet taken shape and were pulled into his ghost body, floating above his yuan dan along with black residual bones. Ji Tian did not idle either, constantly refining them with his purple flames.

  Ji Tian returned to the place where he was ambushed by the Double-Headed Demon Wolf, but there was nothing left. Those scattered green soul flames had long been cleaned up by someone, not even a single speck remained.

  This flying demon tiger is to absorb the power of the soul, or to eliminate dissidents, first eliminating all skulls that can compete with themselves before they grow up, and forever dominating this region. Although this area is insignificant for the Bone Mountain Range, it is also a large area.

  Ji Tian solved a Blue Flame level expert through traps, but his actual combat strength was not very clear. Whether he could beat a Blue Flame Skull was still uncertain, and a higher-level Purple Flame Skull might be a bit too much to ask for.

  Still need to constantly strengthen one's means of attack.

  Ji Tian began to wander around the Stone Forest again, still looking for an opportunity. He didn't dare get too close to the Magic Tiger's den, in case he was caught and couldn't escape, it would be disastrous.

  A group of patrolling low-ranking skulls, uninterested.

  After waiting for several days, a team of skulls appeared, led by a five-meter-long lizard with six legs on its skeletal body, and sharp black claws that emitted a cold glow.

  Sometimes it can be known through physical characteristics, the level of the skull, like this one with only part of the skeleton shining brightly, must be Blue Flame period.

  Jì Tiān thought this was a good opportunity to exercise himself, but he couldn't take action now. This was in front of someone's house, and if he took action, it would be considered gang fighting.

  This time, I don't want to play sneak attack.

  A mountain forest with strange-shaped rocks everywhere, and crevices to hide in, a good place where you can't win but can escape.

  Suddenly appearing in front of the lizard, a eerie and shrill cry echoed out: "I challenge you!"

  The lizard let out a hissing sound: "Haha, you're just a little devil, not even having a soul flame." The lizard seemed to be frightened by its own words, and it fell into deep thought. How could this be without a soul flame?

  Ji Tian rotated his yuan dan and shot out three of his bone needles, two of which flew straight into the empty eye sockets. Ji Tian thought this was a loophole.

  Whether the bone needle refined by oneself can penetrate the opponent's skull is unclear, but penetrating the eye socket and attacking the soul should still be feasible.

  The lizard's skull shook once, and it didn't care what the other party was saying.

  A loud "ping" sound, a bone needle was knocked flying by the gecko's hard skull, one missed its target, and the other finally lived up to expectations, entering the eye socket but being blocked by a strange force.

  Jian Tian shook his head and sighed: "Indeed, it's not that simple."

  His own strength was still insufficient, and he couldn't even affect his opponent's skeleton.

  The small bone needle is still too light, and the force it gives itself cannot make it have a strong killing power.

  How can I increase its attack power? Right, soul force (spiritual force). The main source of spiritual force for the ghost body is the soul force. Wrap a layer of spiritual force on its surface.

  Ji Tian wrapped a bone needle in a layer of spiritual energy and rapidly attacked the lizard.

  "You're so incompetent, I'd rather eat you..."

  "Ah", the lizard skull rolled on the ground in pain, and its powerful skeleton suddenly swept away two unlucky eggs beside it.

  The gecko underestimated Ji Tian's bone needle, allowing it to pass through the eye socket and directly attack the soul flame.

  This pain is from the soul's pain.

  Jing Tian was very depressed, thinking that as long as he could attack the opponent's soul fire, it would be enough. Who knew that it only made the opponent lose their fighting strength? If only he could detonate the bone needle, it would definitely disperse the opponent's soul fire.

  Actually, the soul flame that can attack the Skull Clan is not so simple. When they are threatened, they will choose to shrink their soul flame and avoid the opponent's attack. This is also where Lizard was a bit careless, as there are not many Skull Clans that have long-range attack capabilities, and even fewer would choose such a small bone needle to attack someone's eye socket in such a sinister way.

  Running into such a shameless guy, Skull Tribe is tragic now.

  Trying out his own Bone Arrow, Ji Tian thought to himself that his spiritual power could only give him the chance to use one arrow. If he couldn't hit his opponent, he would have no choice but to flee quickly, and it was best to do so while his opponent was still in pain.

  The lizard struggled to get up, its still shaking body indicating that the pain was still ongoing.

  "You're done for, kid. You've made me suffer so much." Sharp claws scraped against the ground, leaving five deep gashes. For several days, anyone who noticed that the stone blocks touched by his cold, gleaming claws had disintegrated.

  Jian Tian realized that apart from this flying arrow, he really didn't have any other way.

  "Alright, I'll have a fierce battle with you." But in his heart, he was silently urging "Lift your head quickly, lift your head quickly" as he shot out an arrow that had been waiting to be released.

  The lizard raised its triangular head and said fiercely: "You have guts, you..."

  The bone arrow wrapped in spiritual power was like an arrow off the string, emitting a faint glow towards the lizard's skull.

  Sharp arrows, straight into the opponent's skull. Not that Tian didn't want to aim for the opponent's eye sockets, unfortunately, his marksmanship wasn't up to par yet.

  Two loud cracks, the bone arrow shattered, but the unprotected lizard's skull also shattered.

  After all, both are skeletal structures of the same level, let alone this bone arrow has been refined by Ji Tian, and there is an extra layer of spiritual power protection.

  This is also considered an easy win.

  Dealing with other skulls was easy, one bone needle went down and the opponent's skull shattered.

  "Hoo-hoo." A sudden gust of wind howled through the sky, and the Yuan Dan that was refining the soul fire suddenly went wild, jumping about crazily. He slowly lifted his head to gaze at the sky.

  Above the high sky, dark fog surrounds, and demonic clouds roll. A black dot flew quickly from afar, slowly growing larger, finally seeming to sweep across the top of the quiet sky like a piece of dark cloud.

  That was a gigantic skeletal dragon. Even in the high sky, his body looked incredibly huge. If placed in front of Ji Tian, it would be like a small mountain.

  The dragon's body was as white as snow, stretching for hundreds of feet. Each bone was like a pillar of white jade, emitting a faint glow. From afar, one could see that its skull was wrapped in a massive golden flame. This golden flame was another kind of existence, which could make its own elixir produce an alarm.

  Its white skeleton body swung in the air, and suddenly the wind howled, as if an evil spirit wailed, and the surrounding dark fog and magic clouds were all dispersed.

  The dragon's speed was too fast, and in an instant it turned into a black dot, disappearing from its own field of vision.

  Jian Tian's yuan dan slowly regained its calmness, and he stood still in his original position for a while.

  I want to improve myself, this gap is too big. Ji Tian also suddenly understood that in this space there are too many unknowns, too many dangers, and survival is not as easy as he thought it would be, it seems much harder.

  Through the refining of that blue soul fire, Jiān Tiān felt a sufficient amount of soul power constantly swirling within his Yuán Dān, then flowing through the flames produced on the surface of the Yuán Dān to refine the opposing soul fire even faster.

  The two yuan and dan circulate endlessly between each other, as if forming a mutually complementary system.

  Ji Tian felt the change in Yuan Dan, it was internal.

  The soul power in Yuan Dan is undergoing a qualitative change, the boundless gas inside is compressing, and the thin gas is condensing layer by layer. Among them, liquid water droplets begin to appear, although very few, but Ji Tian knows that his soul power is transforming into a flowing liquid state.

  He needs more soul force to help his yuan dan transform.

  The power generated by liquid soul force is far greater than before, and the gap between them is like the difference between high mountains and flat land.

  Even if there is only one drop now, it can still satisfy its own needs and freely manipulate the Bone Arrows.

  Haha, great progress, but still not enough.

  Still need to go squatting, you guys go hunting, I'll hunt you.

  Jì Tiān now somewhat looks down on that green soul fire, Fèi Lǎo's great effort to refine and transform it can only increase his own little bit of soul power, the information contained in the soul fire is almost useless.

  Jing Tian stared blankly, wondering if there were any other ways to attack the ghost bodies, but it was too difficult to figure out on his own.

  One battle after another, one fight after another, accumulating combat experience.

  Having a top-notch cultivation method, but unable to find spiritual energy to absorb, the evil aura and killing aura that permeate the air are almost useless after I've formed my ghost body. If only these evil auras and killing auras could enhance my soul power, how great would that be?

  What's even more infuriating is that there isn't even an attacking technique in that cultivation method.

  I'm so depressed!
