1489 All On One’s Own

Xia Fan hid the transformed Bright Pearl away. She was now small enough that others wouldn’t be able to tell that she was there, which solved the problem of how to bring her out with him.

Bright Pearl told Xia Fan that she could mentally communicate with him. Thus, Xia Fan and Bright Pearl practiced mental communication while continuing to search for the entrance to the next level of the Demon Chasm.

Through Bright Pearl’s directions, it didn’t take long before Xia Fan found the entrance. There was also a large Seal Formation there.

Bright Pearl emerged from Xia Fan’s bosom and said, “Do you know how many Demonic Ants are below?”

!!

Xia Fan frowned and shook his head.

Bright Pearl sighed. “Actually, I don’t know, either. In any case, it’s a lot. I hope that the Seal Formation is stable, or else Ashen Moon will really be in trouble.

“In addition, Demonic Ants have an explosive nature. They will remain underground in hiding for a very long time, slowly waiting for their chance and gathering up strength, and then all of a sudden, they’ll invade the universe others reside in.

“It would be good if this was the only Demon Chasm in Ashen Moon. If there are many more, then not even the gods will be able to save the inhabitants of Ashen Moon.”

Xia Fan felt his heartbeat quicken. The number of Demon Chasms truly was a problem. The Demonic Ants would remain hidden and try to avoid discovery until it was time for battle, and it was only common sense that if the universe had one Demon Chasm, there should be a second, a third…

Xia Fan retraced his steps. After some practice, he could now hear Bright Pearl’s voice in his mind. Mental communication seemed to be an ability only certain lifeforms had, like the dragon race. Xia Fei’s Furball and Little Goldie were also that kind of special existence.

Upon arriving at the entrance he had used to enter the fifth level of the Demon Chasm, Xia Fan took in a deep breath, squatted down, and then jumped.

Whoosh!

His body smoothly passed through the Seal, returning to the presence of Traveling Buddha and the others. Everyone shouted in alarm and immediately surrounded him, asking him what he had found down there and why he had been gone for so long.

Xia Fan didn’t plan to tell anyone about Bright Pearl, but he did tell Traveling Buddha and the others that there was another Seal down there, and that there might be many more Demonic Ants deeper inside.

Everyone turned ghastly pale upon hearing that. These Demonic Ants that were immune to special abilities were a counter to warriors. It could be easily imagined what would happen if hundreds of millions of Demonic Ants suddenly emerged from the earth.

“Bright Pearl, do you know how to leave this place?” Xia Fan asked mentally.

“I do, but now isn’t the time to leave.”

Bright Pearl’s words took Xia Fan by surprise. He quickly asked why, and Bright Pearl had Xia Fan look at the millions of crazed Demonic Ants outside of the Seal Formation.

“Don’t you think that this is an excellent place to train?” Bright Pearl said in her adorable voice. “Once you leave here, where will you find any Demonic Ants to fight? You’re so weak that you can’t even protect yourself! Hmph!”

Xia Fan was startled. “You’re saying that I should use this place as a training ground?”

…

Xia Fan stood at the edge of the Seal Formation, looking at the Demonic Ants.

The Demonic Ants were afraid of the blue light emitted by the Formation and did not dare to get closer. They hid in the darkness, baring their fangs at Xia Fan.

Xia Fan exhaled and took out the Koro alloy combat blade from his spatial ring. This blade was the length of Xia Fan’s forearm and couldn’t be considered a powerful weapon. But as it was made of the high-class Koro alloy, it was very tough. It cost around seventy thousand dollars, and Xia Fan had used points to buy it.

Xia Fan swept his gaze over the Demonic Ants coldly. Bright Pearl was right. In comparison to his family members who had flown across the galaxy, he was too weak.

Through actual combat and the teachings of the Disasters, Xia Fan had learned how to kill people. Now, Xia Fan needed to master the methods of killing Demonic Ants.

Everyone stood behind Xia Fan, trying to talk him out of this. Only Traveling Buddha remained silent. He took out his beloved tea set and started to brew some tea inside the Seal Formation. As Xia Fan’s partner, Traveling Buddha knew that beneath that gentle smile on Xia Fan’s face was an extremely stubborn personality.

Xia Fan lowered his body. Following Bright Pearl’s instructions, he placed his left hand on the ground and opened his right hand, assuming a sprinting position.

This movement was called the Bird Style, and was his father’s signature move.

A second later, Xia Fan suddenly pushed off the ground with his legs, exploding into motion like a lightning bolt!

“So cool!”

Thousand Ink’s eyes lit up as he gasped. After going down into the Demon Chasm, Xia Fan seemed to have become a new person, and even the way he moved had changed. What was going on?

Even more shocking was his combat style. Xia Fan seemed to be training in his technique. In the past, he had just fiercely swung his blade around, but now, Xia Fan used more thrusts, his blade accurately striking the heads of the Demonic Ants, trying to end their lives with a single strike.

If Thousand Ink had been able to hear Bright Pearl’s voice, he would understand that all th0se changes were because of that little girl.

“Too slow! You’re far too slow! At this rate, how can you live up to the title of the Demon Sealing Fiendish Blade?

“I’ve told you so many times, the most exquisite technique in the world is no technique at all, and the best way to attack the enemy is to take them by surprise!

“It wasn’t me who came up with these words, but your father.”

Bright Pearl, that little monster, was actually using Xia Fan’s father as the standard. That standard was far too strict. After all, how fast was Xia Fei? How fast was Xia Fan? The difference was too vast to think about.

But Bright Pearl’s tough requirements gradually had a miraculous effect.

Imitation was a kind of study, and Xia Fan was currently imitating his father, the strongest Skywing warrior in history.

Compared to Xia Fei, Xia Fan seemed somewhat lacking in talent. However, Xia Fan had the advantage of a formidable constitution!

The Disasters had fed him Tier 9 energy stones since he was a small child, so every one of his cells was extremely tough. He could make extreme turns that even Xia Fei couldn’t!

To put it simply, Xia Fan’s sprints had no rules. He was able to run in any direction he pleased and attack any opponent.

“Heavens! Have you guys noticed? Xia Fan is getting faster and faster!”

“His speed isn’t what’s important. Look at his trajectory! Can anyone tell me how he suddenly moved from the right-hand three o’clock position to the left-hand eleven o’clock position?”

“That doesn’t make any scientific sense! Forcibly turning the body like that involved immense acceleration. How is Xia Fan able to deal with that sort of burden?”

“He’s probably relying on his constitution to endure it.”

“Endure it?”

“That freak!”

“Monster!”

Everyone talked. Thousand Ink and the others came from big clans and were outstanding warriors of their generation, so they quickly saw what was going on.

Not only was Xia Fan getting faster, his tactics and skills were also getting sharper and sharper.

In a split second, several hundred Demonic Ants collapsed. Wherever Xia Fan charged, he left a river of blood. His lethality was even greater than it had been two days ago.

Around forty minutes later, Xia Fan returned to the Seal Formation. Without a word, he laid down and closed his eyes, seemingly thinking. Everyone decided not to disturb him.

But in that resting state, Xia Fan was not meditating, but communicating with Bright Pearl. While the dragon girl was very small and cute, she was also an experienced expert. She knew all about how the likes of famous warriors like Xia Fei, Xia Gucheng, Xia Yu, and Xia Donghai fought.

Bright Pearl was currently teaching the special points of their combat styles to Xia Fan. Not caring if Xia Fan could understand it all, she babbled on and on.

Xia Fan’s specialty was that he had developed a habit of learning different skills from different teachers when he was a small child.

One day, two days, three days…

On the fourth day, Xia Fan had already killed more than a third of the Demonic Ants in the Demon Chasm. A quantitative change triggered a qualitative change, and after absorption and digestion, Xia Fan now had much of the style of a Skywing expert.

For example, he had some of Xia Gucheng’s boundless aura, Xia Fei’s bold charge, Xia Yu’s accuracy, and the pestering nature of Xia Jiao.

Rather than becoming more like his father, Xia Fan was becoming increasingly different! He was someone who had absorbed all the special traits of the Skywings, but was also a completely different kind of existence!

Even Bright Pearl hadn’t predicted this result. She had told Xia Fan so many things mostly to boast and have Xia Fan admire her experience.

But Xia Fan had been seriously listening, studying, and digesting the special traits of each person, fusing all of them together.

At set intervals, Xia Fan would also inject a drop of Immortal Wine into his body. The power of the Immortal Wine would boost his speed higher and higher.

In the blink of an eye, it was now the seventh day. There weren’t many Demonic Ants left. Thousand Ink and the others realized to their shock that the Demonic Ants had started to run away from Xia Fan rather than charge at him.

Perhaps the Demonic Ants had intelligence, and perhaps Xia Fan had scared them silly.

In seven days, he had killed a million of them!

Xia Fan had already broken thirteen different weapons!

It had to be understood that all those weapons were forged from valuable Koro alloy. Luo Jiuyi had even offered up his family’s inherited weapon, the Myriad Beast Slasher. In the end, the Myriad Beast Slasher had only lasted for one day before Xia Fan broke it. Luo Jiuyi was so furious that he almost tried to kill Xia Fan.

In the end, warriors could only mature through combat. After seven days of constant battle, with injections of Immortal Wine at set intervals, Xia Fan was able to achieve astonishing progress in the shortest time possible.

Sprak!

As he thrust his combat blade into the last Demonic Ant’s head, Thousand Ink and the others cheered. They rushed out from the Seal Formation and embraced Xia Fan. As witnesses to a miracle, they seemed even more excited about the feat than Xia Fan himself.

Bright Pearl’s confused voice resounded in Xia Fan’s mind. “How strange. I wanted you to be like your father, but why are you growing more and more different from him?”

Xia Fan chuckled. “Perhaps everyone is their own person with their own traits. I was born as an ordinary person, so I’m not as talented as my dad.”

Bright Pearl scratched her head and fell into deep thought. As for Xia Fan, he had everyone clean up the area and prepare to leave this strange place.

Thus, everyone returned to the Seal Formation and gathered up the scattered things into their spatial rings. They had spent ten whole days here, and everyone was anxious to leave.

At that moment, Xia Fan heard a sound in the distance, and all of them turned toward it.
