The silver armored warhorses were extremely strong. Zhou Leng had been fighting only innate opponents, so his injuries were relatively severe, initially estimating two or three days for recovery.

Yet, just like the Eight-toothed Mammoths, he slept one night and his body recovered completely.

An innate body was truly different.

After waking up, Zhou Leng dragged the little horse Polly along, following the Eight-toothed Mammoths for a second expedition.

Before the battle, he would first knock Polly unconscious, then fight.

Midway through the battle, Polly woke up and immediately tried to run, but Zhou Leng caught up and knocked her out again with a heavy punch.

By the time Polly woke up for the second time, the team was already on their triumphant return journey.

The Eight-toothed Mammoth tribe had won a great victory once more, without any casualties this time.

Upon returning to the camp, they proceeded to distribute the war trophies again.

In the fierce beast world, there appeared a strange furless fierce ape.

All day it carried a silver armored warhorse, running back and forth with the Eight-toothed Mammoth group.

Oddly enough, it was exceptionally fierce, and even ordinary True Liquid Innate fierce beasts were no match for it.

Even when encountering Bloodshock Innate fierce beasts, it could endure a few moves before calmly escaping.

In half a month, Zhou Leng, following the Eight-toothed Mammoths, swept through five tribes.

Winning battle after battle.

Zhou Leng's strength gained recognition from all the Eight-toothed Mammoths and accompanying fierce beasts.

After the last battle ended, carrying Polly, Zhou Leng and Little Eight Huang returned to Mammoth Lake.

Once recovered from injuries, Zhou Leng walked out of Mammoth Lake, looking at Polly lying by the lake.

The silver armored warhorse was indeed stubborn, as to this point, it still hadn't submitted.

He wasn't sure how many times he had beaten it up, its head was already widened from the punches.

Zhou Leng asked Little Eight and Huang if there were any other ways.

Little Eight suggested that if it didn't work, they could try the methods of the fierce beasts.

Zhou Leng said, "Just as I'm going back, you can try. If it doesn't work… kill it and eat the meat, then get another one."

Zhou Leng bid farewell to Little Eight and returned to the Frost Giant Tree with Huang.

He took out the demonized watch to use as a mirror.

His originally bloated body was finally approaching normal, but it was still a bit chubby, with some power not yet fully absorbed and transformed.

Sitting on the ground, he took stock of his expedition gains.

Besides the war trophies that could be sold at high prices, he had exchanged everything else for medicinal fruits he could use.

He had already consumed more than half of them in the past days, with some remaining.

Among them, the purslane was the most special, which he ate a little bit of every day as a snack, having eaten half a bundle.

In martial perception, his skin had strengthened by at least 20%.

Now with a 20% increase, it was as strong as the skin of a top-tier steel dwarf at the Vitality Stage.

However, eating too many medicinal fruits from the fierce beast world also had side effects.

Zhou Leng became more combative, more prone to fighting impulses.

The reason the fierce beasts were so combative was largely due to these medicinal fruits.

Zhou Leng suspected these medicinal fruits might be related to unknown forces in the fierce beast world.

He had previously talked to Little Eight about it.

According to legends in the fierce beast world, the entire world was actually the corpse of a void ancient beast.

These medicinal fruits were likely a part of the powers of this void ancient beast.

From another perspective, this combative heart couldn't entirely be considered a side effect.

Zhou Leng's understanding of the "No Return Battle Technique" and the "Mountain River Guardian Technique" deepened, and it wouldn't be long before he mastered another combat technique.

Reviewing the entire process.

Fighting alongside the Eight-toothed Mammoth group felt completely different.

At first, it was somewhat uncomfortable.

But starting from the third major battle, he could quickly switch states, integrating into the fierce beast group.

Adopting the momentum, attitude, and combat method of the fierce beasts to use human martial arts.

The bad news was, some techniques deviated in form.

The good news was, understanding of other techniques became exceptionally deep.

The more fierce and robust the technique, the deeper his understanding.

After so many days of training, Zhou Leng had successfully integrated all eighteen moves of the Overlapping Waves Palm into the killing move "Thousand Tide Sea."

He named it "Thousand Sea."

This killing move was heavily influenced by the fierce beasts, discarding many properties of the Overlapping Waves Palm.

It only took the extremely fierce and grand intent.

This made Thousand Sea an extremely fierce technique.

Having integrated the Establishing Image Chapter and Flying Whale Chapter's training method, and being influenced by the Eight-toothed Mammoths, this move's power surpassed ordinary innate techniques.

Zhou Leng believed that while it might not be as intricate as Elder Song's killing move, in terms of fierceness, it was absolutely not weak.

Under the Frost Tree, Zhou Leng trained again.

Observing Heaven Mountain, Star Gazing Technique, Star Phoenix Rejuvenation Technique, Undying Star Body, Flying Whale Chapter, Star Refining Furnace, Gate of Purgatory…

After training, he rested.

Upon waking, Zhou Leng looked at the squat rack.

The 50-ton barbell was no longer sufficient.

He thought for a moment, then disassembled the entire set of equipment and placed it in the Magic Spirit Bag.

When he bought this equipment, mall personnel had mentioned that when the weight was insufficient, he could trade in the old equipment for new ones at a discount.

Zhou Leng rushed to the Martial Arts Mall, replying to messages on the way.

Zhao Nandi sent some results of Divine Text research while contacting the mysterious master in Martial Arts City for guidance.

Zhou Leng, in the capacity of a mysterious master, provided guidance on some results and gave suggestions.

Experts truly live up to their reputations, and even Zhou Leng gained some insights.

However, the Divine Text seems to have an invisible shackle, as no expert has been able to fully master and pronounce it.

Zhou Leng remains the only Blue Star person capable of pronouncing it.

These days, disciples of the Ancient River Sect have successively advanced to the Innate Realm, and both Zhang Xinglie and Elder Song have completed their advancements.

The aged Song Juesi showed vim and vigor, taking only ten days to refine his True Qi to the utmost and advance to Blood Shocking Innate.

Moreover, Song Juesi has already begun traveling to places like the Dwarf World and Beastman World, finding ways to obtain an Odd Body.

Zhang Xinglie's realm is only True Liquid, constantly sharing his findings on the Mountain Slaying Battle Body with Zhou Leng.

"Something's not right with the Mountain Slaying Battle Body…"

"Today is the tenth day of advancing to Innate, and the strength increase from the Mountain Slaying Battle Body is about ten times what I expected. Now, with True Qi, I can mold steel like clay..."

"I suspect I've fallen into some kind of demonic state, the cultivation is going so smoothly, it feels like ascension, unbelievably exhilarating."

"I asked our Yunhua grandmaster expert, and he said it should be a resonance between my bloodline or some power and the Mountain Slaying Battle Body, which is a very normal phenomenon. For instance, someone eating certain pills or medicinal fruits might experience better effects than others."

"I understand, it's my inherent gift. Hey, how am I so awesome, it's almost embarrassing, need to stay humble, humble…"

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you in the future."

"Many people in Yunhua Jinjing have heard your name now, and when I advance to Grandmaster, on the Grandmaster Battle Path, I'll follow you, traverse the world, and suppress a thousand Innates."

"Your solo battle against a thousand inspired many in Yunhua Jinjing, and quite a few are eager to challenge you."

"But you don't need to worry, I've already beaten them down."

…

After reading Zhang Xinglie's share, Zhou Leng replied to mock this show-off a bit.

Comparing with the Ancient River Sect's cultivation techniques, the class of the Mountain Slaying Battle Body far surpasses known Ancient River Sect techniques.

The Mountain Slaying Battle Body is likely a remnant of a more significant force.

Besides, this brat's cultivation progress with the Mountain Slaying Battle Body far exceeds his own Undying Star Body.

Zhou Leng is sure his Undying Star Body is stronger, but because it's so powerful, cultivation progress has been painstakingly slow.

"According to Zhang Xinglie, his fast cultivation isn't due to his talent or the Mountain Slaying Battle Body itself, but seemingly some resonance between him and the Mountain Slaying Battle Body. Perhaps this is his opportunity."

"The Mountain Slaying Battle Body came from the Great Battlefield, I have to visit it when I get the chance."

"The legend says the Great Battlefield is a corner of the battlefield between the Dragon God and the Starry Giant, sometimes revealing astounding treasures."

"The first stellar treasure of the Dragon Race, the Fiery Sun Dragon Crown, and the first stellar treasure of the Giants, the Armor of the Stars, both emerged from the Great Battlefield."

"Who knows, maybe I can find a treasure aligning with me."

Wang Boxiong sent a message saying the entrance ceremony for the Ancient River Sect is prepared, just waiting on Zhou Leng's word.

Hu Yi mentioned his family has given up searching for his mother and sister, saving Zhou Leng the trouble.

Zhou Leng sighed; the Ice Snow Divine Sect had investigated too, finding no trace.

Too many were captured by Demon Purgatory back then, over hundreds of thousands across Blue Star and the Ten Realms, making investigation impossible.

He glanced at Rao Mingxian's Martial Faith, which showed no updates.

Zhou Leng walked a bit further and sent images of the Silver Armor and Horse Whip to the Snow Mountain Wolf.

"Do me a favor, auction these items at the Blue Star auction under the name of the Ice Snow Divine Sect, you'll get a 5% commission for your trouble."

Soon after, the Snow Mountain Wolf called directly for a voice chat.

"Zhou… Lord Cyan Dragon, does it have to be auctioned on Blue Star? The people on Blue Star… don't recognize the value, the price won't reflect its worth, this is freshly made Silver Armor and a Horse Whip; every man would want it."

"Hmm? You mean all races need these items?"

"Of course. I assure you, auctioned in our Demon Spirit World, the price will be at least 20% higher than on Blue Star. For example, Silver Armor, you Blue Star people treat these as luxury items, while we or other races treat them as collectibles, even heirlooms, entirely different levels."

"I underestimated the consumer power of the Demon Spirit World."

"Our Demon Spirit World and worlds like Demon Purgatory have gone through multiple world wars; although not advanced to an intermediate civilization, we haven't completely fallen either; our foundation is rather robust."

"Fine, auction it in the Demon Spirit World, ideally at one attracting big spenders from the Ten Realms."

"Rest assured, these are excellent items, when should I pick them up?"

"Tomorrow, perhaps."

"Alright."

Zhou Leng walked into the Martial Arts Mall, browsing the Demonized Equipment Area in the Innate Zone.

The Innate Equipment is sufficient but would soon need replacement.

The amplification from the Giant Body and Fierce Beast Power Marvelous Body was too strong; now his pure power should be at the level of an ordinary giant of the same realm.

Innate Demonized Equipment just isn't adequate anymore.

Leaving the Innate Zone, he headed straight for the Grandmaster Zone.

Seeing the price tags with strings of zeros, Zhou Leng frowned.

Previously, 50-ton level demonized equipment cost only 5 million.

A Grandmaster-level combo of a maximal 500-ton squat rack and barbell soared directly to 50 million.

Grandmaster stage demonized equipment is typically crafted by legendary Demon Spirit Masters or even Demigod Demon Spirit Masters, making labor cost the major component.

Various Grandmaster demonized equipment start from 30 million and can go up to a billion or more.

Adding it all up.

Buying just the basic Grandmaster demonized equipment like squat racks, True Qi ropes, strikers, etc., would cost about 400 million.

A full set of Grandmaster demonized equipment requires 3 billion.

The entire Ruda has only one set, which took years to gain approval from the Martial Resources Bureau.

If including therapeutic equipment, add an extra 5 billion, which even Ruda lacks, with only three sets in the entire city.

One set at the Martial Arts Bureau, one at the Medical Academy, and one within the military.
