Qin Feiyang exhaled in relief.

Although it appeared easy, convincing a beast, especially a cold-blooded creature at the War Emperor realm, was incredibly difficult.

Next, of course, he had to help the Wolf King unlock the Door of Potential.

However, he dared not take out the Potential Elixir in front of the python. If the python discovered it, they couldn't guarantee another mishap wouldn't occur.

On two different occasions, Qin Feiyang took the Wolf King to the ancient castle, allowing it to consume the Potential Elixir within the castle's walls.

Under the python's oppressive aura, the Wolf King successfully unlocked the second and third layers of the Door of Potential.

Its cultivation speed advanced by leaps and bounds daily.

After the matter was settled, Qin Feiyang climbed on top of the python's head. The python carried him, soaring deeper into the desert.

As for the Wolf King, it retired to the ancient castle to recuperate and cultivate.

"Human, what was the light radiating from the wolf cub's forehead just now?"

While unlocking the Door of Potential, the Potential Mark would emit brilliant rays of light. However, the Wolf King's Mark was concealed by its fur, so the python was puzzled.

"It's nothing. Its forehead is a bit odd; sometimes it glows. I've gotten used to it," Qin Feiyang laughed and casually brushed it off.

"That's peculiar!"

"Could it be some Beast God?"

The python was inwardly amazed.

After more idle chatter, Qin Feiyang sat on the python's head, refining a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill.

During his journey, he encountered countless beasts at the War Emperor Realm, but none troubled them because the python remained discreet.

Time flew. A month passed by in the blink of an eye.

「That day.」

A refreshing sea breeze whisked over, instantly rejuvenating Qin Feiyang. He quickly ceased his cultivation and looked ahead into the distance.

He saw a long mountain range at the end of the desert. The pinnacle of the range was hundreds of meters high. The mountain valley was filled with lush vegetation, and ferocious beasts roamed rampant. On the other side of the mountain range was a vast, azure ocean, extending as far as the eye could see. From a distance, there were no strong winds or violent waves; the sea was incredibly placid.

"Human, do not be deceived by appearances. This sea area is far from simple."

"Did you see the beasts living in those mountains? They possess War Emperor strength, but dare not approach the sea," the python conveyed psychically.

Even without consuming a Beast Spirit Pill, beasts at the War Emperor realm were capable of psychic communication.

Qin Feiyang nodded in understanding. Places that were too calm often concealed considerable danger.

A moment later, the python soared over the mountains and hovered above a field of boulders.

Qin Feiyang jumped down, landing stably on a stone. He went into the ancient castle, took out a Qiankun Bag, and threw it to the python.

He clasped his hands and said with a laugh, "Thank you, Senior. However, I need one more favor."

Upon confirming that the bag contained five hundred Battle Intent Pills, the python laughed, "What do you need help with? Say it!"

After being together for a month, the python's attitude towards Qin Feiyang was no longer as indifferent as it had been initially.

"Senior, please wait a while."

Qin Feiyang sat cross-legged on the stone, took out a Qi Gathering Pill, and swallowed it. After a month of relentless cultivation, he was on the verge of breaking through.

About an hour later, Qin Feiyang's body vibrated slightly, and a powerful aura burst forth from him.

Finally, he had stepped into the Nine-Star Martial Ancestor realm!

Next, he naturally needed to unlock the Third Layer of the Door of Potential.

However, before he went to the ancient castle to consume the Potential Elixir, he found a piece of black cloth, tucked it into his shirt over his chest, and covered his Potential Mark. This way, the light emitted by his Potential Mark could be concealed.

After a bitter struggle, he also succeeded in unlocking the Third Layer.

"Phew!"

He took a deep breath and looked at the python, smiling, "Senior, till we meet again!"

"Next time we meet, don't forget to bring me a Transformation Pill and a Barrier Breaking Pill."

The python looked at him suspiciously, but it didn't give it much thought. Dragging its enormous body, it rose into the sky, disappearing from Qin Feiyang's sight in a flash.

"I will," Qin Feiyang muttered to himself.

This time he was grateful for the python's help. Otherwise, given his speed, it would have taken him at least two or three years to reach The Sea of Despair. But now, only two months had passed since he left Yan City.

"The Sea of Despair…" Qin Feiyang turned around and looked at the ocean in front of him, his brows gradually furrowing. He had arrived, but how should he cross The Sea of Despair?

He waved his hand and summoned Fatty, Lu Hong, and the Wolf King.

"This is The Sea of Despair?"

The two humans and the wolf were all a bit stunned.

A clean sandy beach. The calm sea. Warm sunlight.

There isn't anything scary about it at all!

"Boss, how about we build a boat?" Fatty suggested.

Qin Feiyang replied, "Let's go to the shore and have a look first."

The three of them and the Wolf King jumped onto the sand and ran towards the shore.

"Huh!" Suddenly, Qin Feiyang was astonished. How had the Wolf King gotten so fast?

Within a few steps, it had pulled ahead by tens of meters.

"White-Eyed Wolf, why are you so fast?" Qin Feiyang asked.

No sooner had he finished speaking than an incredible thought occurred to him, "Could it be that you're already..."

"Yes, Brother Wolf has already unlocked the Battle Soul and stepped into the War King realm." The Wolf King turned its head and grinned at him.

"So soon!" Qin Feiyang was surprised.

The Wolf King had unlocked the Third Layer of the Door of Potential just a month ago.

While unlocking the Door of Potential could significantly increase one's cultivation speed, the gap between Nine-Star Martial Ancestor and War King was not that easy to bridge. It was as though there was a chasm between them—even though only one step apart. Some people were stuck there for decades. Some even remained at the Nine-Star Martial Ancestor realm their entire lives and died in regret.

Qin Feiyang knew that even the martial prodigies from the Imperial Capital took at least half a year. The Wolf King had managed to do it in only a month.

If word got out, he didn't know how many geniuses would die of envy. This proved that the White-Eyed Wolf's talent was not inferior to his.

Qin Feiyang asked, "So, isn't your strength equivalent to that of a three-star War King?"

"I wish, but I don't know why, this time there was no leapfrogging in rank!" the Wolf King complained, a hint of frustration in its voice.

"No?" Qin Feiyang was taken aback. "Does that mean your current strength is only that of a one-star War King?"

The Wolf King nodded.

"That's good." Qin Feiyang sighed in relief.

If it had been like before and the Wolf King had skip-ranked upon reaching the War King realm, it wouldn't be a wolf anymore. It would be abnormal.

"You bastard, you're happy, aren't you?" Hearing his words, the Wolf King immediately turned hostile.

It wasn't enough not to sympathize with it, but to even revel in its misfortune? It had had enough!

With a single pounce, it lunged at Qin Feiyang's butt.

"Damn it, are you serious?" Qin Feiyang quickly retreated.

But now, his speed was no match for the Wolf King.

The Wolf King took a few agile leaps, landing behind him, and bit into his butt.

"AH!" Qin Feiyang cried out in pain, shouting, "Damn it, let go now, or don't blame me for turning against you."

"Go ahead and turn against me, I dare you," the Wolf King's contemptuous voice resonated in Qin Feiyang's mind.

It bit down harder.

Qin Feiyang was sweating from the pain.

Seeing this, Fatty and Lu Hong rushed over to intervene. After much difficulty, they finally got the Wolf King to release its fangs.

Qin Feiyang touched his backside. Wet? He looked down. It was blood. His pants were also torn.

"Damn it, you actually took it seriously!" With fierce rage burning within him, Qin Feiyang took out Blue Snow and smirked coldly, "I'm going to castrate you now so you'll never be able to touch a she-wolf for the rest of your life."

"You, you, you, don't mess around..."

"Fatty, Lu Hong, why are you just standing there? Hurry up and stop him..." While fleeing, the Wolf King cried out frantically to Fatty and Lu Hong.

Even though it had entered the War King realm, Qin Feiyang had Blue Snow in his hand. If a serious fight broke out, it would definitely end up castrated.

"Boss, calm down, calm down!" Fatty ran to hold back Qin Feiyang, sneaking a peek at his butt and instantly breaking into a grin. "You should go change your pants quickly. Even though your butt is very white and we're all friends here, Lu Hong is a woman, after all!"

"Uh!" Qin Feiyang was stunned.

Only then did he realize half of his butt was exposed. This was highly embarrassing.

He glanced at Lu Hong. Seeing Lu Hong blushing and looking elsewhere as if she hadn't seen anything, even his thick-skinned face reddened. He promptly ran back inside the ancient castle.

Damn White-Eyed Wolf, it has caused me so much trouble! He cursed in his heart while changing clothes, seething with anger.

WHOOSH!

When he reappeared, the Wolf King had already hidden itself far away.

Qin Feiyang signaled it with his hand, "You, come over here."

"No." The Wolf King shook its head, looking at him with teary eyes.

Qin Feiyang was both angry and amused. Not only had it bitten his butt, but now it was also looking aggrieved. This Rogue Wolf was truly exasperating.

Besides, he wasn't really going to castrate the Wolf King. He was just trying to scare it.

Qin Feiyang put away Blue Snow and shook his head, "I just wanted to take a look at your Battle Soul."

"Oh, is that so!" The Wolf King came trotting over, relieved and grinning mischievously, "Brother, I knew you wouldn't be so heartless. But as for my Battle Soul, that's a secret for now."

Qin Feiyang's suppressed anger immediately flared up.

Fatty raised his hand, "Boss, Master Fatty knows what Brother Wolf's Battle Soul is..."

"If you dare say it, I'll end you!" The Wolf King glared threateningly at him.

Fatty shrunk his neck, swallowing the words that had been on the tip of his tongue.

"It's alright, I'll find out sooner or later." Qin Feiyang waved it off. Looking at Fatty and Lu Hong, he asked, "How's your cultivation progressing?"

Lu Hong smiled and said, "I just broke through to Six-Star Martial Ancestor."

Fatty grinned, "Master Fatty is almost there."

"Not bad." Qin Feiyang nodded.

With this speed, they could completely crush the top martial talents in the Imperial Capital.

The three of them and the wolf walked to the seaside, overlooking the sea.

Not far away, numerous rocks jutted out above the surface of the water. Long years of scouring by the sea waves had smoothed their surfaces like mirrors. Apart from these rocks, no other landmarks could be found.

"It looks like we'll have to build a boat," Qin Feiyang murmured, handing Blue Snow to Fatty. "Go make a dugout canoe."

"Okay!" Fatty replied and then ran towards the mountain range behind them.

"I'll help too," the Wolf King also scampered after him.

Lu Hong fretted, "Even though there are no storms now, the weather in the sea can change in an instant. A dugout canoe might not be enough."

"I know all that, but building a proper boat would take too much time. Stay here, don't move. I'm going to check out the sea. The python mentioned that a group of mysterious humans lives here; I'm quite curious to see them."

After giving Lu Hong some instructions, Qin Feiyang stepped forward.

However, the moment his foot touched the seawater, he immediately drew it back. His face filled with shock!

"What happened?" Lu Hong asked, confused.

"The seawater is very cold!" Qin Feiyang said, his eyes full of incredulity.

"Cold?" Lu Hong paused, looked up at the sun in the sky, and thought, The weather seems fine. How can the seawater be cold?

She squatted, dipped her fingertip into the seawater, and just like Qin Feiyang, snatched it back instantly.

"How is this possible!" She looked at her fingertip, her face filled with disbelief.

This seawater wasn't just cold; it was piercingly cold! In just an instant, her fingertip had gone numb from the freezing temperature.
