Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear

Playing with the Spirit Light Crossbow Arrow, whose tip had turned sky blue, for a moment, Wang Wu then hurled it fiercely into the distance!

Hmm, he only used thirty percent of his strength.

The Spirit Light Crossbow Arrow whizzed and embedded itself in the ground over thirty meters away, startling the new recruits of the Seek Death Camp quite a bit.

The effect was not good.

Firstly, throwing requires technique.

Secondly, as long as it exceeds a distance of thirty meters, he cannot activate the Deep Freeze Demon Technique.

"Sure enough, magical artifacts are not that easy to craft, and whether they can be in harmony with oneself is a huge challenge."

"Besides, even if I could learn from those Wolf Demons to throw the Wolf Fang Short Blade at supersonic speed, if I can't activate Deep Freeze, wouldn't that be a waste? In fact, an ordinary Spirit Light Crossbow Arrow would suffice."

"So the correct procedure is to refine this Profound Iron Shield into a Ninth-Grade Magical Artifact. This way, at critical moments, I can still activate Deep Freeze to block damage for myself."

Wang Wu pondered, he had no other choice. As a Little Demon who never entered the Academy and came from a wild background, he had no chance to seek advice from an expert.

However, the Profound Iron Shield and Spirit Light Crossbow Arrow were not the same; this thing had been punctured like a sieve.

As a natural object, it was not suitable for the energy branding of the Cold Ice structure.

"Can't I just repair it again? I don't even have a refining furnace, and besides, the technology to smelt Profound Iron is a highly guarded secret among the Demon Race."

Wang Wu was troubled, much like discovering a get-rich-quick project only to realize that the prerequisites are too difficult.

But he had nothing else to do, so he could only rack his brains to find a way.

"Can the tip of the Spirit Light Crossbow Arrow be removed to repair the Profound Iron Shield?"

Wang Wu thought of a method, but it still had its difficulties.

The key was how to merge the arrow tip with the Profound Iron Shield?

At this moment, his mind naturally wandered to his Red Flame Spiritual Qi.

"Then let's give it a try!"

"Let's just try it! After all, I'm idle anyway, it's just a matter of wasting some Red Flame Spiritual Qi."

Wang Wu thought boldly, he couldn't allow himself to have a strong sense of gains and losses right now, it was just a play.

He pulled all the Spirit Light Crossbow Arrows out of the Profound Iron Shield, looked them over, and then poked them back in from the grip end in reverse.

With a clang, after a good round of bustling, it became the Flying Hedgehog Man number inside.

But outside, it was even more spectacular. Wang Wu, for the sake of effect, went all out, hammering each arrowhead three centimeters out, making it look like an enhanced version of a durian flat diagram.

As for the tail end of the crossbow arrow, he forcefully cut it off with a Bear Claw, and luckily the rear half was made of a very hard and resilient wood shaft, otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome.

Having completed the first step, Wang Wu began injecting Red Flame Spiritual Qi into the Profound Iron Shield, but this injection proved somewhat difficult.

Because the Profound Iron Shield is not a pouch, nor a container.

Wang Wu had to continuously maintain the injection state, and if he relaxed even slightly, the Red Flame Spiritual Qi would rebound or even dissipate.

It was quite troublesome indeed.

He tried various methods in succession, but the Profound Iron Shield remained completely unresponsive.

Ultimately, when Wang Wu was pushed to the edge, he simply initiated a round of Deep Freeze to temporarily freeze the Profound Iron Shield, then poured all 200 points of Red Flame Spiritual Qi into it at once.

Wrapping and sealing it like a pressure cooker with a goose inside!

Whatever will be, will be!

At most, he'd just lose 200 points of Red Flame Spiritual Qi today, or end up with nothing; it was just a play!

But this time, it really had an effect; there seemed to be some change in the Profound Iron Shield, but Wang Wu began to struggle.

Because he had to operate and control those 200 points of Red Flame Spiritual Qi to envelop the entire Profound Iron Shield without leaving any gaps, and thus felt like the lid of a high-pressure cooker amidst the internal changes.

All the pressure began to surge towards him.

Within less than ten seconds, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Truly, it was an unprecedented experience, realizing that controlling Red Flame Spiritual Qi demanded such a high price.

But he dared not relax; if he did, this might turn into a large Cloud Burst Bomb that would obliterate the Ninth Seek Death Camp where he was.

Cultivation is indeed dangerous, and operating Qi must be done with caution!

The ancients did not deceive me!

The struggle, despair, and pain were indescribable for Wang Wu.

He felt like he'd used all the strength he could muster from both his lifetimes.

Inner Breathing Technique was put in place, Heart of the Earth activated, Vitality surged; whether it worked or not, he had to withstand this pressure, or else it was all over!

Even so, each second he persevered posed a tremendous challenge, each second teetering on the brink of collapse.

He was on the verge of tears.

It was too hard!

He even regretted it, did he not?

Inner Breathing Technique operated rapidly, the activated Heart of the Earth was bewildered, not able to exert its function.

Yet the Vitality was quite effective, cooperating with the Inner Breathing Technique, channeling the surging Qi Blood waves to bear part of the pressure.

And so, after another ten seconds, the pressure reflected back from the Profound Iron Shield finally became less wildly turbulent, more smooth and tame.

But by this time, Wang Wu was drenched in sweat, having consumed 1,000 points of Vitality.

The entire body was weak, barely hanging on with a single breath, persisting.

Finally, when that pressure transformed into a summer evening breeze, the danger was gone, and he collapsed onto the ground with a clatter.

The 200 points of Red Flame Spiritual Qi disappeared but didn't dissipate; instead, it fully seeped into the Profound Iron Shield.

Wang Wu didn't know what he had done, but he was truly exhausted, without even the strength to catch a little mountain chicken to replenish himself.

So the only thing he could do was to hold the Profound Iron Shield tightly, protect his heart, and fall into a deep sleep, too tired to even look at the information floating before his eyes.

He slept through day and night, and by the time he awoke again, it seemed to be the next day.

His head hurt a bit, an unprecedented situation.

However, the good news was that the war had not yet begun, otherwise, it would have been troubling.

First, get up, feed some fodder to the new recruits, then Wang Wu went aside to carefully study what had happened.

"You fearlessly took an extremely dangerous method to refine the Profound Iron. Fortunately, your foundation seems good, as you forcibly used your own Qi Blood vitality, complemented by the Inner Breathing Technique, to perfectly resolve the dangerous forces."

"Your Inner Breathing Technique has become more refined."

"Your Demon Soul is slightly fatigued."

"You have cumulatively consumed 1,400 points of Vitality."

"Your mastery of Red Flame Spiritual Qi has become more skilled."

"You have completed the preliminary refining and fusion of the Profound Iron Shield."

"Identification Description: This is a standard Profound Iron Shield equipped by Human Race warriors. Although common, it benefits from the Human Race's craftsmanship, making its overall performance quite outstanding, capable of withstanding up to 300 Spirit Light Crossbow Arrows. Now, due to a serendipitous, accidental refining, its internal structure has been reorganized and strengthened. The current durability is 500, meaning it can withstand 500 Spirit Light Crossbow Arrows."

——

"Great!"

Wang Wu looked at the Profound Iron Shield at the moment and praised it highly.

No matter what the principle was, this Profound Iron Shield is clearly very different now; all the arrowheads have successfully fused with the Profound Iron Shield, as if they were naturally that way.

Moreover, some of these Profound Iron arrowheads seemed to have melted slightly; originally very sharp with a height of 3 centimeters, they have now become 2 centimeters and somewhat blunted.

But the base has become thicker.

This is a case of losing at one end and gaining at the other.

Previously, the arrowheads might have easily broken, but now they invisibly increased the overall defense of the Profound Iron Shield.

After putting down the Profound Iron Shield, Wang Wu, without a word, continued to catch little mountain chickens to roast and eat, as restoring Vitality is always the most important.

Of course, it was also necessary to convert Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into Red Flame Spiritual Qi and Ice Spiritual Qi.

In one go, he roasted fifteen little mountain chickens, also ate fifteen raw, successfully gathering 1,400 points of Vitality as well as accumulating 6,000 points of Spiritual Qi.

His belly was round and full.

Among them, 5,000 points of Spiritual Qi were prioritized to upgrade the Heart of the Earth, raising its level to Level 4, and due to the passive benefits brought by Grandpa Tree's branch, temporarily making it Level 5.

As a result, Wang Wu's Life Value had actually reached 1,100 points, temporarily 1,200 points.

Physical Strength actually 1,100 points, temporarily 1,200 points.

Satiety was actually 1,350, temporarily 1,400.

Basic Power was actually 63, temporarily 64.

Basic Agility was actually 62, temporarily 63.

Basic Defense was actually 65, temporarily 66.

The increased Shou was actually 200 years, temporarily 250 years.

Additionally, when activating the Heart of the Earth to recover Life Value, it could now instantly consume 500 points of Spiritual Qi to recover 500 points of Life Value.

"The advantage brought by bloodline is terrifying indeed!"

Wang Wu was deeply moved.

An excellent bloodline allows for a higher growth ceiling.

This has nothing to do with the amount of Spiritual Qi obtained.

For instance, similarly, the Little Wild Boar and Old Niu have definitely obtained more Spiritual Qi over the years compared to Wang Wu, but why can't they quickly convert Spiritual Qi into combat power?

Because they need to first spend a massive amount of Spiritual Qi to clear their bloodline limit. Only then can it be converted into combat power.

Wang Wu now only needs Spiritual Qi to crazily add points to Basic Attributes, which is the greatest advantage.

As for the Little Wild Boar, perhaps 40 points of Basic Power, Basic Defense, and Basic Agility is its limit. It can't increase even with Spiritual Qi.

It might need to advance to the Seventh Grade to unlock to 60 points.

Advance to the Sixth Grade, and it might unlock to 100 points, and so on.

This invisibly requires it to pay more effort, more resources, more time.

At this moment, Wang Wu fully restored all statuses, refilled Ice Spiritual Qi and Red Flame Spiritual Qi, then decisively began the second round of dangerous refining.

That's right, still choosing to refine with the combination of ice and fire.

200 points of Ice Spiritual Qi + 200 points of Red Flame Spiritual Qi + 1,700 points of Vitality.

One word, just do it!

Because now it's like a new path has been paved, the risks are gone, and the benefits are within reach.

He even had a premonition that this time the refined Profound Iron Shield would definitely far surpass the previously refined Array Stone in quality.
