Ultimate Upgrading System

Seeing this, Yang Ying suddenly drew his sword and took a step into the air. At the same time, he exerted force on his waist, and his body shrank into a ball. When he stretched his body again, his head was already facing downwards. He stretched both of his hands downwards and used the Wind Spirit Sword Arts to stab towards the monster's head.    

    

Suddenly, the monster's neck shrank. The sound of metal hitting metal was heard, shaking Yang Ying's arm until it became somewhat numb. Although Yang Ying didn't use all of his true essence because he didn't have much time, his supreme grade magic weapon and Perfection Stage's Wind Cloud sword technique were extremely powerful, and they were not something that an ordinary demon beast could withstand.    

    

Yang Ying used the rebounding force of the longsword to land on the shore. Only then did he look into the pond. An oval head was raised up high, and an oval object appeared on the surface of the water. It was about one meter in diameter, and there were brown and black stripes on the surface of the object.    

    

Wasn't this a Diamond Turtle? That strike just now must have pierced the turtle shell. But was the Diamond Turtle's speed in the water so fast? Wasn't the turtle swimming very slowly?    

    

Yang Ying was very puzzled in his heart, so he recalled the records in the demonic beast illustrated handbook.    

    

demonic beast illustrated handbook There was a record in the complete book: Diamond Turtle, a Completion of Foundation Establishment demon beast, likes to eat meat, and its turtle shell is as hard as metal. They lived in the deep water, and their speed in the water was extremely fast. Their movements on land were slow.    

    

Sure enough, the water is its advantageous terrain? If it was in the water, it wouldn't be easy for him to deal with it! From the looks of it, he could only bring it ashore.    

    

With this thought in mind, Yang Ying leapt towards the pond. When the Diamond Turtle saw Yang Ying pounce towards it, it raised its head and waited for Yang Ying. When Yang Ying was about to rush in front of the Diamond Turtle, he activated the Soaring Movement Arts. With a flash, he disappeared from where he was. When he reappeared, he was on the right side of the Diamond Turtle.    

    

The Diamond Turtle had yet to react. Its head was still looking in the direction where Yang Ying had disappeared. It seemed to be wondering where the prey had gone.    

    

Before the Diamond Turtle could react, Yang Ying raised his long sword and unleashed the true essence with all his strength. The Wind Spirit Sword Arts was suddenly unleashed, and the Sword Qi smashed towards the Diamond Turtle like a fierce wind.    

    

When the Diamond Turtle heard the sound of the wind beside it, it tilted its head and looked at Yang Ying. When it saw the Sword Qi whistling towards it, it quickly shrunk its neck. The Sword Qi suddenly collided with the Diamond Turtle's turtle shell. The Diamond Turtle seemed to be blown by a gust of wind, and flew towards the side of the pond.    

    

Yang Ying moved his body once again, and arrived next to the Diamond Turtle. At this moment, the Diamond Turtle's head and four limbs had shrunk into the turtle shell, and it had completely become an oval shape.    

    

Yang Ying took a look in front of him. There was only a shallow mark on the spot where the sword had struck. The defense of the Diamond Turtle was truly terrifying. He had used all his strength just now, but he could only leave a shallow mark on its turtle shell.    

    

It seemed like he could only look for the other flaws of the Diamond Turtle. Yang Ying circled around the Diamond Turtle once. Its entire body was hidden within the turtle shell, and there were no flaws at all.    

    

Perhaps, he could only attack its abdomen. Yang Ying poured the true essence into his long sword and used the Thunder Collapsing Sword Arts to stab towards the Diamond Turtle's abdomen.    

    

The Diamond Turtle happened to extend its mouth to look around. When it saw the Sword Qi sweeping over, it quickly retracted its head back into its turtle shell. The Sword Qi touched the rock underneath the turtle shell. With a loud bang, Yang Ying flipped the Diamond Turtle.    

    

When the dust settled, Yang Ying looked over again. He saw the Diamond Turtle as a turtle shell. Its shell was facing down, and its stomach was facing upwards. The Diamond Turtle seemed to have realized the danger and was using its neck to push against the ground, trying to flip itself over.    

    

Seeing this, Yang Ying didn't delay any longer. He circulated the Bright Jade Spell and used all of his strength to unleash the Bright Moon Sword Arts. A bright moon rose up and a Sword Astral slashed towards the Diamond Turtle's stomach.    

    

The Sword Astral broke through the Diamond Turtle's stomach, and continued to stab into it. Yang Ying continued to use his strength. The Sword Astral stirred in the Diamond Turtle's stomach, and the Diamond Turtle immediately straightened its legs.    

    

"Congratulations, you have killed a Completion of Foundation Establishment Diamond Turtle. You have obtained 160 source energy."    

    

Yang Ying went forward to take a look. Only now did he realize that although the Bright Moon Sword Arts had pierced through the Diamond Turtle's stomach, its turtle shell was still intact.    

    

Just now, Yang Ying had used his full strength. The Sword Astral was extremely powerful.    

    

This turtle shell was just as the demonic beast illustrated handbook had said, as hard as metal. Yang Ying used his long sword to cut the turtle shell. After a long time, he finally took the turtle shell off. He placed the turtle shell into the Storage Bag, and then walked towards the place he had just come from.    

    

The battle with the Diamond Turtle this time had used up almost all of the true essence in his body. He walked forward, and found a safe place by the stream not far away. Only then did he sit down and start adjusting his breathing.    

    

After a long time, Yang Ying finished regulating his breathing. He stood up and went back to the pond to continue bathing.    

    

A few more days passed. Today, there were only four days left until the Five Peaks Great Competition. Yang Ying was ready to return to Heaven Pillar Peak today. He walked by the river. Yang Ying found that the direction of the stream was roughly the same as that of the Green Cloud Sect.    

    

Therefore, he had never been far away from the stream. Now, the stream had turned into a small stream. There was a river bank in front of him, and the terrain was very open. Yang Ying was going to wash up there. He walked to the riverbank and saw some large logs floating on the surface of the river. He glanced at them and did not pay much attention to them.    

    

When he was walking by the river, he had seen many trees fall by the river. Some of the trees had already been soaked in the river and were flowing down the river.    

    

Yang Ying put away his sword and walked towards the shoal in front of him. He squatted down and washed his face. The cold water made him very comfortable.    

    

Suddenly, he raised his head and stared at the large piece of wood beside him. He could sense that the floating wood was slowly moving towards him. He stared at the floating wood for a long time, wanting to see why it had gotten close to him. However, after a long time, there was still no movement from the floating wood.    

    

Perhaps it was because I had been hunting demon beasts in the back mountain recently that I was too tired. I'm a bit too sensitive! When I go back, I want to have a good rest.    

    

With this thought, Yang Ying relaxed once more. He bent down to wash his face again. He splashed the river water on his face again and again, enjoying the coolness brought by the river water.    

    

Suddenly, Yang Ying felt that something was wrong. He glanced sideways and found that the floating wood had already arrived beside him. The water did not flow in his direction!    

    

Why did the floating wood approach him so quickly?
