Ultimate Upgrading System

No! Something was wrong! There was danger! All the hairs on Yang Ying's body stood up. A sense of danger that could decide his life and death loomed over his heart. Could it be that there was a poisonous snake hiding under this floating tree?    

    

With this thought in mind, Yang Ying no longer hesitated. In the past few days in Back Mountain, his instincts to sense danger had saved his life many times.    

    

He circulated the true essence on the tip of his feet and suddenly jumped backwards. At the moment he jumped back, the front end of the floating wood suddenly opened up a bloody mouth, revealing a lot of huge teeth.    

    

The "floating wood" suddenly moved forward and the huge mouth quickly bit towards Yang Ying. Yang Ying was in the air and had nowhere to run. His calf was about to be bitten by the bloody mouth.    

    

Yang Ying's reaction at the critical moment saved him. His body was in the air. With a shake of his hand, he drew his sword out of the sheath and stabbed at the bloody mouth that was flying towards him. The tip of the sword suddenly slashed at the top of the bloody mouth. Instantly, sparks flew in all directions, as if he had struck steel.    

    

Suddenly, a huge force came, and his body borrowed the force of the sword's counterattack to retreat at a rapid speed. At the same time, Yang Ying seized the opportunity to activate the Wind Controlling Spell. His body moved along with the wind, and he flew backwards at an even faster speed.    

    

The huge mouth used all its strength to bite down, but it missed. However, it did not give up just like that. Its body rushed towards the direction where Yang Ying was flying. Its mouth opened and closed continuously, and a loud crack was heard.    

    

This sound made Yang Ying feel cold all over his body. How big of a bite force should it have? It seemed to be able to easily crush a huge rock.    

    

Luckily, Yang Ying did not hesitate just now. His intuition had saved him once again, and he only felt a lingering fear in his heart.    

    

Sure enough, the Back Mountain wasn't a place that ordinary inner sect disciples could stay. With his strength, he was still able to live in such a dangerous situation. If he had hesitated just now, his leg would have been bitten off.    

    

Yang Ying stood still on the riverbank, calming his emotions. He looked in the direction of the bloody mouth.    

    

It was about ten meters long and its body was dark grey. Its skin was dry like a dry branch. The mouth on its head was slightly open. Its sharp and smooth teeth were exposed to the sun, sparkling and shining under the sunlight.    

    

This was the Space-splitting Crocodile!    

    

Yang Ying recalled the complete demonic beast illustrated handbook record: Space-splitting Crocodile, a Completion of Foundation Establishment demon beast. The bite force of the upper and lower jaw was shocking, it could cut through iron. Its tail was extremely thick and thick. The power of its tail was astonishing. As the Space-splitting Crocodile was flying, it borrowed the strength of its tail. Its speed could instantly surpass most Foundation Stage demon beasts. It was good at hiding by the shore, but it could hide in the same place for a few days.    

    

Only then did Yang Ying look at the tail of the Space-splitting Crocodile. Only now did he realize that the tail of the Space-splitting Crocodile was extremely thick. Only the lower half of the tail was hidden under the water. If a person did not carefully observe the water surface, then he would not be able to detect it. The Space-splitting Crocodile was indeed good at hiding itself!    

    

In the past few months, Yang Ying had been continuously hunting demon beasts for a long time, causing his senses to become much sharper than before. He did not expect that with his keen senses, he would not be able to discover the Space-splitting Crocodile.    

    

This matter caused Yang Ying to feel a lingering fear. At the same time, he kept reminding himself in his heart that he still needed to be careful and cautious!    

    

Yang Ying stared at the Space-splitting Crocodile. His current plan was to lure it to the shore if he wanted to kill it. The river was its advantageous terrain. Furthermore, he wasn't sure if there were any companions or other demon beasts in the river.    

    

Yang Ying made up his mind and took two steps forward, staring at the Space-splitting Crocodile. The Space-splitting Crocodile saw that its prey was not scared away, but instead, its prey was walking towards it. It glared at Yang Ying with its eyes wide open.    

    

Yang Ying drew his sword out of its scabbard, and the tip of his sword shook. The Space-splitting Crocodile saw that Yang Ying did not move, so it quickly took a few steps forward. When it was five meters in front of Yang Ying, it exerted force on its four limbs, and its body suddenly jumped up from the ground, pouncing towards Yang Ying.    

    

Yang Ying circulated the Bright Jade Spell and used the Bright Moon Sword Arts. The twenty feet long Sword Astral extended out from the tip of the sword, thrusting out like a bolt of lightning. The Space-splitting Crocodile opened its mouth and tried to bite Yang Ying, but the Sword Astral stabbed into its mouth and into the depths of its throat.    

    

"Host, congratulations on killing the Space-splitting Crocodile. You have obtained 160 source energy."    

    

Yang Ying stepped forward and took the sharpest teeth from its mouth and put them back into the Storage Bag. Then, he walked upstream for a while and sat down cross-legged to adjust his breathing.    

    

After Yang Ying finished regulating his breathing, he looked up at the sky and found it was already afternoon. It was time to go back! Yang Ying followed the position of the sun and determined the direction before walking towards the Green Cloud Sect.    

    

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Ying arrived at the Back Mountain's guard station. He bowed to the two guards and said, "Senior brothers, you have worked hard!" The two guards also bowed to him.    

    

Yang Ying had not returned to his cabin for a long time. When he returned to his cabin in Heaven Pillar Peak, he suddenly felt that everything here was very familiar. It was as if he had returned home. After tidying up, he walked towards Heaven Pillar Hall. Since he had returned from Back Mountain, it was time to pay Master a visit.    

    

Yang Ying had just arrived outside Heaven Pillar Hall when he saw Master. Master was standing outside the door, looking at him with a smile on his face. Yang Ying took two steps forward and knelt in front of Peak Lord Lee. Thinking about the crisis he had faced in Back Mountain, his eyes turned red and he said, "Master, I'm back!"    

    

"It's good that you're back!" Peak Lord Lee helped Yang Ying up and helped him pat the dust on his knees. He said slowly, but his voice seemed to be trembling.    

    

Peak Lord Lee patted Yang Ying's shoulder and said, "Let's go! We will talk inside later!"    

    

Yang Ying followed Peak Lord Lee inside. At the same time, he talked about how he fought with the Golden-backed Mantis, how he dodged the venom of the Soul Devouring Centipede, how he used his intelligence to retrieve the Diamond Turtle, how he dodged the Space-splitting Crocodile's pursuit, and how he counter-killed it.    

    

However, Yang Ying purposely didn't mention the Bright Jade Spell and Bright Moon Sword Arts when he talked about these things. Peak Lord Lee smiled as he listened. From time to time, he would look at Yang Ying with encouraging eyes, which made Yang Ying feel extremely satisfied in his heart.    

    

"Ying, I heard from Deacon Faang that you need Snow Spirit Milk and Heavenly Horse Treasure Ganoderma?" Peak Lord Lee asked.    

    

"Yes, Master!" Yang Ying saw Master mention it. Although Yang Ying did not know why he would mention it, he still answered without hesitation.    

    

"This is the Snow Spirit Milk I found in a ruin a long time ago!" Peak Lord Lee said and took out a Yu bottle from his pocket and handed it to Yang Ying.    

    

Yang Ying quickly took the bottle and bowed. "Thank you, Master!"    

    

"No problem! I recently heard some news about the Heavenly Horse Treasure Ganoderma!" Peak Lord Lee said slowly.
