I still owed an extra update chapter yesterday, I won't make up for it today, I'll add it tomorrow.
**************
Zi Mo and Leng Shan were stunned, watching as two fiery-red demon beasts kept bursting into existence from Yang Kai's side, only to be shattered moments later. Occasionally, only a faint streak of light shot out, and they had no idea what he was doing.
But the two of them were at least elites from their respective sects, with some discernment, and could naturally see that Yang Kai was practicing some miraculous, never-before-heard-of martial skill.
Just... practicing so unreservedly, how much Yuan Qi must that be squandering?
"How many times do you think he could execute such a skill with the Yuan Qi in his body?" Zi Mo couldn't help but dart over to Leng Shan's side and ask softly.
"At most five times, and his Yuan Qi would be completely drained!" Leng Shan estimated.
This time, Zi Mo didn't argue. She nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with Leng Shan's assessment.
Both girls could feel the immense Yuan Qi consumption from the surging energy fluctuations. This indicated that the tier of this martial skill was absolutely not low. And the higher the tier of a martial skill, the greater its power, but also the greater the Yuan Qi consumption. Even if the two of them were to execute it, they could only manage ten times.
Yang Kai's cultivation realm wasn't high, so he naturally couldn't sustain it for long.
"What's wrong? Got ideas?" Leng Shan turned her head to glance at Zi Mo, her tone implying something.
Zi Mo was startled, patting her chest. "Don't talk nonsense. Even if he really exhausted his Yuan Qi, a single thought from him would be enough to end our lives. We'd best behave ourselves. Having our souls controlled is no joke. Look, it's the fifth time."
As she spoke, Yang Kai unleashed the Beast Soul Art again. However, this attempt still failed to fuse. The White Tiger Seal and the Divine Ox Seal activated separately, manifesting two beast souls.
Yang Kai remained calm and unhurried, dispersing them. He focused his mind on the mysteries within this set of martial skills, recalling the details and that unique feeling from the successful fusion.
Zi Mo smiled charmingly and reached into her bosom, pulling out a small bottle.
"What are you doing?" Leng Shan looked at her, puzzled.
"Going to curry favor with him," Zi Mo said, shaking the bottle. "This is a Yuan Qi recovery pill from our Heavenly Wolf Kingdom. You should have some on you too, right? He's in need of recovery right now. Opportunity knocks but once."
"Despicable, shameless, without dignity. Selling yourself for favor!" Leng Shan's face was stern as she scolded.
"Hee hee... Don't say that," Zi Mo giggled, covering her mouth. "Next time he needs recovery, I'll let you have the chance. We'll take turns."
"Hmph!" Leng Shan gave a light snort, but her hostility diminished considerably. She couldn't bring herself to seduce Yang Kai, but offering some pills at the right time to gain his goodwill was feasible.
Now that their lives were in his hands, if she wanted self-preservation, she naturally had to lower her stance. Otherwise, if this wench Zi Mo seized the initiative first, her days ahead would be truly unpleasant.
"I'm going..." Zi Mo said, standing up. But before she could take a step, they heard two more beast roars from that direction.
"He's using it again?" Zi Mo was shocked, and Leng Shan was equally astonished.
"He should be depleted by now, right?" Zi Mo muttered, a captivatingly charming smile forming on her face as she took a step forward.
But at that exact moment, Yang Kai shattered the two beast souls again and, inconceivably, executed the Beast Soul Art once more.
Success!
The White Tiger Seal and the Divine Ox Seal fused perfectly, transforming into a streak of dim light that shot out with incredible speed. If there were a demon beast ahead, it would definitely be struck by the Beast Taming Seal and subsequently placed under his control.
Seizing the momentum, Yang Kai continuously moved his hands. The Beast Soul Art was unleashed repeatedly.
In one go, he executed it four times—twice failed, twice succeeded. Yang Kai vaguely felt he had grasped that feeling, but he was still not proficient.
Zi Mo quietly retracted the foot she had lifted, standing there with Leng Shan, both with their crimson lips parted in a daze, staring foolishly in that direction.
Yang Kai's stamina had completely exceeded their expectations and imagination.
A whole day passed, and Yang Kai was still practicing the Beast Soul Art.
Zi Mo and Leng Shan were completely numb, their hearts wailing and groaning internally.
How much Yuan Qi did this guy have stored in his body? How could he support such wanton expenditure of skills?
Could it be that this martial skill consumed very little Yuan Qi?
Putting aside the two girls' shock, Yang Kai himself was inadvertently startled too.
The Yang Liquid stored in his dantian had decreased by more than twenty drops! He no longer had Yang-attribute pills to replenish the Yang Liquid. He should use the reserves in his dantian more sparingly, otherwise, once they were depleted, he would have no way to suppress the evil energy within his Proud Bone Golden Body.
But the Beast Soul Art really did consume an immense amount of Yuan Qi when executed.
It wasn't just the Beast Soul Art. Techniques like the Blazing Sun Triple Burst, Yang Flame Wings, and Star Trace all required massive Yuan Qi support. For any martial artist at the eighth level of the Separation-Union Realm, it would be impossible to use these moves too frequently.
He couldn't use Yang Liquid to practice the Beast Soul Art anymore.
Frowning in deep thought for a long while, an idea lit up in Yang Kai's mind.
His body had three energy reserves. The Star Map space was exclusive to the Star Trace technique, the Yang Liquid in his dantian could no longer be squandered, but the energy within the Proud Bone Golden Body could be used.
The energy stored in the Golden Body was vast to the point of being almost immeasurable. Usually, it could only be drawn upon when using Unyielding Pride. Could he now find a way to use the energy within the Golden Body to execute his martial skills?
