The breeze blew by, and the leaves rustled.
At the peak of the mountain, a youth sat on a rock.
"So this is the Refinement Realm?"
Feeling the surging spiritual energy in his body that was much richer than before, Su Tong was also somewhat excited.
Although it was only the first grade of the Refinement Realm, it was far stronger than the Tempering Realm.
Su Tong could feel that if he were to use the "Stone Hammer" to attack now, its power would absolutely overwhelm a ninth grade Refinement Realm expert.
As he came to understand the concept of strength in this world,
Su Tong could sense more clearly the gap between different levels of power.
Only now did he realize just how powerful the spirit technique "Stone Hammer" that he had been using was.
"If I'm not wrong, it should be comparable to a mid-grade spirit technique!"
Su Tong also smiled at this time.
He did not expect that a random sentence in Chinese that he had casually spoken could be so powerful.
However, Su Tong had also noticed some minor details.
If Su Tong had tried to yell out "I am invincible!" but was unable to do so.
It seemed as if something had stopped Su Tong.
Now that he thought about it, it was probably the rules or principles of this world!
But it did not matter, with Su Tong's cultivation speed, how far away could being invincible be?
"I can't waste this abundant spiritual energy!"
Looking at the spiritual energy above his head, Su Tong then entered a cultivation state again.
In the next two days, he absorbed all the remaining spiritual energy.
Only then did he come out of his cultivation state.
"Stabilized at the first grade!"
Su Tong sensed it and could feel it too.
The remaining spiritual energy allowed Su Tong's realm to completely stabilize at the first grade of the Refinement Realm.
"I should find an opponent to test my strength!"
At this time, Su Tong also had a new idea.
Although cultivation alone could continuously increase his strength.
Without practical experience, it would still be inferior.
Therefore, Su Tong wanted to find an opponent to test the power of the Refinement Realm.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Tong headed straight for the forest not far away.
The spiritual energy there was abundant. If he guessed correctly, fierce beasts must have been born in this forest.
The scent of moist soil rushed to meet him in the forest.
"The land nurtured by spiritual energy is just different!"
Su Tong took a light breath.
Here, every breath contained a trace of spiritual energy.
Su Tong walked on the forest path, looking for fierce beasts that he could do battle with.
"Hmm? What's this?"
Just then, Su Tong saw a trace on the ground beneath his feet.
Taking a closer look, he smiled, "Found it so easily!"
Indeed, there was a huge footprint on the ground where Su Tong was standing.
If he guessed correctly, this should have been left by some gigantic fierce beast.
Thinking of this, Su Tong did not hesitate at all and directly followed the footprints.
Roar!
A moment later, a tiger's roar came.
"Tiger?"
Su Tong was surprised. So there were also tigers in this other world.
He walked over to take a look.
Sure enough, not far away was a tiger-like creature.
However, this tiger was different from the ones Su Tong had seen in zoos before.
Its appearance was similar, but its fur was black, covered in blue stripes.
It was nearly two meters tall, not to mention its length.
This hulking beast formed quite a contrast with Su Tong's height.
"This guy is really big!"
At this time, Su Tong also exclaimed.
And at this moment, he could also sense the beast's strength.
"Refinement Realm, third grade!"
Su Tong sensed it and was speechless.
This tiger's realm was actually a bit higher than his.
A third grade Refinement Realm tiger, if it went to a low-level dynasty, could probably destroy the entire dynasty.
However, such a powerful existence could only be encountered in places abundant with spiritual energy.
Let alone a low-level dynasty, even a high-level dynasty might not be able to give birth to Refinement Realm fierce beasts.
"But Refinement Realm, third grade, shouldn't be too difficult!"
Su Tong also had some confidence at this time.
After all, he could speak the ancient divine language, which had one advantage - no matter what level he was at, he could use spirit techniques comparable to Spirit Realm techniques.
Just like when Su Tong had not even entered the Tempering Realm, he was still able to successfully use the Spirit Realm "Stone Hammer".
After secretly observing for a while.
Su Tong also discovered a problem.
"That tiger seems to stay in one place all the time, and is extremely vigilant!"
Su Tong watched the huge tiger, either lying still in one spot, or getting up and pacing around, its eyes vigilantly watching its surroundings.
Su Tong was curious. This tiger did not seem to be very relaxed, on the contrary, it seemed to be guarding something.
"Could it be guarding some spiritual herb or treasure?"
At this time, Su Tong also recalled.
Some powerful fierce beasts like to guard spiritual herbs, treasures and the like.
Could the tiger in front of him also be guarding something?
Su Tong observed carefully, but did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
"When I go back this time, I must find a book introducing spiritual herbs and treasures to read!"
Su Tong was also helpless.
Because he had just come to this world for less than half a month, he lacked much knowledge.
He had thought that as long as he became stronger, it would be fine. Now Su Tong finally tasted the downside of being "uneducated".
If he did not study properly, any treasures that appeared before him in the future, he would miss.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the tiger let out a low roar.
Su Tong looked over and saw that the tiger was staring at him.
"Quite perceptive, it can even detect me?"
Su Tong also smiled.
Although Su Tong did not deliberately hide himself, there was still some distance between them.
Yet even so, the huge tiger still discovered him.
And stared in Su Tong's direction.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Su Tong's brows furrowed slightly.
Because he felt the change in the surrounding spiritual energy.
"The wind-attributed spiritual energy has clearly become richer!"
At this time, Su Tong could also sense the spiritual energies of various attributes.
"Roaring Wind Blade!"
A voice came from the tiger's mouth.
Su Tong was surprised, "Damn, has this tiger become a demonic beast?"
In the next moment, countless wind blades shot out directly from the tiger's body.
However, Su Tong did not feel panicked.
His body flashed as he bellowed, "Accelerate!"
In an instant his body shot out directly, dodging those countless wind blades.
"Just that? Haha, let me show you what a real spirit technique is!"
Su Tong sneered coldly.
Then he looked at the tiger.
With a low roar, "Roaring Wind Blade!"
The tiger spoke the language of this world, while Su Tong used the ancient divine language.
Similarly, in just an instant.
Countless wind blades flew directly at the tiger.
The might of these wind blades was countless times greater than those used by the tiger.
Seeing this, the tiger prepared to dodge.
But in an instant, it was enveloped by the countless wind blades.
"Roar!"
A miserable shriek echoed through the forest!
