At night, after indulging in a ruthless killing spree, Leylin sat on the ground, slowly operating the Profound Qi inside his body with a stoic face.

The Profound Qi was slowing stretching in his body. It became longer and longer and gradually expanded throughout his veins. With a thought, the Profound Qi gradually became extremely flexible, flowing from one vein to another. As long as he commanded in his mind, the Profound Qi would move all around his veins, like a snake.

Gradually, the Profound Qi moved to the index finger of his right hand through the veins in his arm. Leylin concentrated and moved the Profound Qi back into his veins in the arm. Suddenly, his Profound Qi sped up and rushed towards his right index finger with an unstoppable force, becoming faster and faster.

"Shoo!"

There was a strange sound on the tip of his right index finger. With an intense pain, the Profound Qi forced itself into his index finger. Leylin's finger couldn't help trembling just like the tail of a rattlesnake.

The Profound Qi was now concentrated in his index finger, expanding and pushing around, but couldn't pierce the skin. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't manage to make the Profound Qi break the skin and leave his body.

"Whoo!" Leylin breathed heavily, and gathered his Profound Qi back into his abdomen, looking slightly disappointed.

"I failed to breakthrough maybe I was too greedy to breakthrough two sky realms simultaneously, it's was just a bit lacking..." He said in a very low voice to himself.

There were three stages to the Elementary Realm. If you could cultivate Profound Qi, you would have reached the First Sky. If you were able to operate your Profound Qi skillfully and make it circulate through your body with your mind, you would have reached the Second Sky. If you managed to make your Profound Qi break out of your skin and into the air, that was the Third Sky.

Leylin after devouring the Profound Qi and training his body was able to operate his Profound Qi skillfully all over his body, he had reached the Second Sky, and immediately after he had been collecting and concentrating more and more Profound Qi, trying to force it out of his fingers, hoping to reach the Third Sky.

He had tried to breakthrough twice in one sitting but has failed to break the boundary of his skin due to slight lacking in consolidation.

"Well, the training of a Warrior cannot be achieved overnight. I was able to transform this body from that of an average person to a second sky of elementary rank in just a day or two so, it's already pretty impressive. My Profound Qi is still not strong enough. Maybe I should try again later after I collect and refine more Profound Qi." After failure, Leylin couldn't help but sigh inside his head for his unreasonable goals.

"I won't have to wait for more, with the traps it would be enough to attract the beasts from their dwelling to the group and irrespective of the results it would be a feast for me."

..

The moon was like a silver plate hanging in the night sky.

The warriors were all training quietly. Mary Dunn, hidden amongst the foliage of a huge ancient tree, was taking long breaths. Master Kurt stood against another tree, reading a volume of his poison encyclopedia joyfully. Medicine slaves were lying disorderly on the wet ground behind the Ground Dragon.

Mary Dunn was at the front of the troops while Master Kurt at the rear. The two pretended to not care about the slaves, but their position gave them away.

As time passed, the bright moon disappeared. Dawn was about to arrive. The day seems to be passing without any incident and if not for the glaring lack of warriors who went missing for the capture mission against Leylin, and a deafening silence throughout the camp it would seem too peaceful.

"Kaka! Kakaka!"

At that moment, a strange sound came from afar. Something was heading in their direction slowly.

As the Profound Qi moved forth and back in his arms, Leylin who was hiding nearby suddenly opened his eyes which shone with excitement.

"Everyone on alert!" Mary Dunn shouted, as she lifted herself up from the ancient tree. Staying in a high position, she looked into the distance for a while, and then screamed, "A Jade Blade Spider!"

All the warriors woke up from their training.

The warriors were all wearing a rigid face. Before Mary Dunn uttered anything, they took out their weapons and circled around the Ground Dragon, while maintaining a distance of five or six meters from each other.

Master Kurt packed the book and frowned. He walked up to the Ground Dragon and ordered in a low voice, "Keep an eye on the medicine bottles on the dragon!"

"Yes, Master Kurt!" The warriors responded in unison.

The medicine slaves woke up one by one. Hearing a Jade Blade Spider was approaching, they were all frightened and ran to the ground dragon. Clearly, they were all familiar with the cruelty of a Jade Blade Spider.

"Jingle!"

The Jade Blade Spider was a Level 2 demon beast whose eight legs were as sharp as knives. They liked to wander at night and always appeared in groups of five or six. The spiders were cruel in nature and loved eating humans. Once they came across humans in the Dark Forest, they would never spare them.

Demon beasts were always much larger than humans. They had thick, coarse skin and were faster faster than humans. Commoners would either die or be injured whenever they met one. Only skilled warriors could escape. Although the Jade Blade Spiders were a mere Level 2 demon beast, they were always in a group of five or six, and being faster than normal warriors it was hard to compete with them.

To meet Jade Blade Spiders in the Dark Forest was a bad situation for anyone, as there was nothing valuable on its body and they were aggressive and fast. They would start attacking as soon as they saw a human and would never leave without getting something, even ignoring their injuries.

Leylin approached the fighting scene quietly, he had a small layer of black smudge on his body which seem to suppress his body's aura, Leylin tested various samples of herbs and plants through the A. I. Chip and found this grass which he named ' Deter Dark Grass' capable of hiding his aura slightly when mixed with his superb camouflage techniques Leylin was confident in staying undetected as he silently started to observe what was happening.

"Shit! There are eight of them!"

Mary Dunn cried from the tree, frowning with a rigid face. "It will be a nasty fight especially with all the missing personnel. Get ready! Remember, do not pursue and attack! The spiders will have the advantage if we retreat into the thickets! Do not fight in them there!"

"Kakaka! Kaka!"

The sound of a knife stabbing into the earth was heard. Soon, they saw two Jade Blade Spiders who were 10 metres long and 1.5 metres tall. The whole body of the Spider was snow white and as large as a bus, with eight bright and sharp dagger like legs.

The Spiders advanced quickly and nimbly while moving their dagger-like legs. They arrived in an instant. While moving, their legs reflected an icy light that easily scared everyone. It was not hard to imagine what tragedy would happen if one was cut by those legs.

Seeing the Spiders show up one by one, the warriors turned silent. Mary Dunn had jumped down from the tree minutes ago. She was standing in the front of the troops, getting ready by intertwining her fingers with radiant lightning. Master Kurt sat relaxed in the sedan atop the Ground Dragon with indifferent eyes, not showing any indication of fear.

Soon, all eight spiders appeared. They were not stupid, as they separated and surrounded the Ground Dragon, and then moving forth like eight cars.

With a harsh whistling sound, the eight spiders started the battle at the same time. White legs were raised up into the vast sky, they flew forward at the same time, rushing towards the warriors who were around the Ground Dragon.

At that moment, the scene was filled with silver and white knives. The warriors reacted quickly. They thrust their weapons towards the beasts' waist and eyes, while deflecting the spiders' attack.

The whole area descended into chaos.

The Jade Blade Spiders surrounded the Ground Dragon. White legs crashed down. Warriors dodged to the left and the right, and kept thrusting their weapons. Mary Dunn called out her Martial Spirit. Her hands were twined by lightning and kept radiating [Verdant Crescent Slashes], which fell upon the spiders and left them trembling.

"Shooo!"

One of the warriors sustained a cut on his torso by a spider leg before he could react. His organs spilled out of him along with his desperate cry. He then fell heavily onto the ground.

The medicine slaves were so frightened that they couldn't help themselves and hid beneath the Ground Dragon. Some slaves lost their mind. They ran in between the spider legs in order to escape, but were nailed to the ground by the spiders' legs and died instantly.

The warrior closest to Leylin position, who was of the Second Sky of the Elementary Realm, bumped into another warrior while moving. Before he could even evade, a spider leg cut through his neck and his head was sent flying!

"A feast indeed!"
