Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

Knowledge from books is shallow. True understanding comes from practice.

Although Second Uncle Fang believed Fang Yang had the potential of a saint, capable of defeating a Tier Two Middle Fierce Beast despite being at a lower tier, only his actual combat record would prove it.

After all, it wasn’t unheard of for someone to perform exceptionally well during training, only to find their strength failing them in actual combat.

Of course, Second Uncle Fang and the others didn’t believe Fang Yang was that kind of person.

But regardless, Fang Yang’s training had now shifted from stone statues to live Fierce Beasts!

"According to the travel logs of Ancestor Fang Nian, there is a great sect in the Desolate Realm called the Five Poison Sect.

The cultivation of the Five Poison Sect’s members is entirely dependent on their Gu Insects. They view the Gu Insects as the true essence of the Great Dao, focusing on nurturing, refining, and utilizing them.

Applying that same principle, to find out what level your true combat power has reached, you must personally enter the fray and fight."

Second Uncle Fang said calmly.

Down below, in an arena resembling an Ancient Roman Arena, Fang Yang and the White Feathered Eagle were listening, ready for their opponent to appear at any moment.

At this moment, Fang Yang was clad in silver-robed armor and held a crimson battle spear, radiating a heroic aura.

The White Feathered Eagle was just as extraordinary, hovering calmly to Fang Yang’s left, ever vigilant for the appearance of a Fierce Beast.

"CLANG—"

With a loud clang, a Fierce Beast was released by Seventh Uncle Fang.

This was a Water Serpent Lion. It had a coat of bright blue, incredibly smooth fur. Its limbs ended not in sharp claws but in webbed feet like a frog’s, and its tail was a venomous snake!

The aura of this Water Serpent Lion was already at Tier One Middle!

"SCREECH!" The White Feathered Eagle shrieked the moment it saw the Water Serpent Lion, kicking up a flurry of sparks as it beat its wings and lunged to kill.

A streak of red and white light seemed to flash through the air. In the blink of an eye, the Water Serpent Lion’s body was pierced through, and it collapsed limply to the ground.

’The White Feathered Eagle might not be able to defeat enemies of a higher tier, but when facing those weaker than itself, it’s a guaranteed slaughter,’ Fang Yang mused.

"Excellent! White Feathered Eagle, you’re amazing!" Up ahead, Seventh Uncle Fang became its biggest cheerleader, lavishing it with praise until the White Feathered Eagle let out a silly-looking smile.

Afterward, Seventh Uncle Fang released even stronger Fierce Beasts.

The White Feathered Eagle attacked, killing the Tier One Middle Water Serpent Lion in an extremely short time.

The White Feathered Eagle attacked, killing the Tier One High Vermilion Flame Wolf in a quarter of an hour.

The White Feathered Eagle attacked, killing the Tier One Peak Gale Swiftlet, nearly exhausting itself in the process.

Basically, the limits of the White Feathered Eagle’s combat power had been tested.

When it was Fang Yang’s turn, he also steamrolled everything up to Tier Two Elementary.

Any Fierce Beast with a lower cultivation tier than him was no match for a single thrust of his spear. His performance was far more brutal than the White Feathered Eagle’s.

’Without relying on my ultimate move, the [Celestial Eagle Cross Spear], the most I can do is kill a single Tier Two Elementary Fierce Beast, and I can’t even guarantee I’ll come out unscathed.’

Fang Yang stared silently at the faint claw mark left on his armor.

He still had a long way to go on the path of combat.

He wasn’t very satisfied with this performance.

Ancestor Fang Nian was a figure too distant for him to grasp. He had no idea how the ancestor would have performed at his current tier.

But he believed that a Dao Seed Level prodigy, like Sen Yue, could have easily slaughtered a Tier Two Elementary Fierce Beast without taking any damage.

"Ah Yang, not bad. Rest for a bit. Next, I’m going to release a Tier Two Middle Water Serpent Lion!" Seventh Uncle Fang said.

「A quarter of an hour later.」

A massive Water Serpent Lion slowly emerged from the rear. With every step, a wave of water rippled out in all directions.

In that instant, Fang Yang felt the hair on his skin stand on end, and even the White Feathered Eagle’s expression grew solemn.

"This Water Serpent Lion is a blood descendant of a Water Serpent Lion Thousand Beasts King! It possesses a sliver of a king’s aura, so don’t be careless!" Seventh Uncle Fang’s voice called from a distance.

[Celestial Eagle Cross Spear]

Fang Yang abruptly activated his ultimate move.

His aura climbed rapidly, and behind him, the Fire Eagle Illusion merged with the White Feathered Eagle, beating its wings and diving.

In that instant, not only was his crimson battle spear entwined with Thunderfire Chains, but even his silver-robed armor was wrapped in them. He looked like a young general emerging from a sea of thunder and fire.

Fang Yang fiercely swung his battle spear!

The blow was powerful and heavy, making the air crackle with a roar like wind and thunder.

Fast. Too fast. Unbelievably fast!

The Water Serpent Lion’s pupils suddenly contracted. Caught completely off guard, it was sent flying. Its body, like a ball, slammed into a wall, carving out a huge crater. The venomous snake of its tail was left on its last breath.

Fang Yang, meanwhile, leaped into the air. With the Fire Eagle Illusion beating its wings behind him, he actually managed to fly. Though it was brief, it was incredibly astonishing.

BOOM.

Fang Yang’s battle spear smashed the Water Serpent Lion into a pool of blood and minced flesh!

From start to finish, it took only a short moment for Fang Yang to kill the Water Serpent Lion. How terrifying was that?

’I still have thirty percent of my True Essence left, much more than I expected... It’s thanks to you.’ Fang Yang felt a connection and glanced over at the White Feathered Eagle.

The White Feathered Eagle’s contribution was far greater than he had imagined. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He wouldn’t trade it, not even for an ordinary Fire Eagle.

"CLAP, CLAP, CLAP..." Seventh Uncle Fang applauded wildly, praising, "White Feathered Eagle, you’re incredible! To think you could hold on like that! Amazing, simply amazing!"

Second Uncle Fang finally nodded in affirmation. "The White Feathered Eagle is truly extraordinary. Its endurance is unmatched. Even a Pet Beast with the greatest talent and bloodline probably couldn’t compare to its willpower. At the very least, the Small Frost Horse is far inferior to the White Feathered Eagle."
