'Just what is wrong with that woman?'
Xiao questioned as he heard the notification filling his head but he wasn't able to focus on the sound for long as the cracking sound of the doors opening was heard, the roars of countless beasts filling the humongous hall, adding to it, the husky voice of the illusionary figure was heard,
"Fight till the two of you die...."
As its words were heard the figure disappeared as the duo was forced to gaze at the door that has completely opened up, the first beast that stepped forth was a two-headed wolf about 2 meters tall, its hungry eyes focusing on the two of them as a double howl left the beasts mouth, its crimson eyes lighting up, while its blur fur standing tall,
'An Earth Core Realm beast?'
Xiao's eyes narrowed as his hold on swords tightened just as he was about to burst forth, a small void crack appeared below one of the heads of the beast, an arrow moving faster than the head can react as it drilled from below appearing out as it disappeared to another void crack that appeared above the head.
The other head wasn't even given time to process the death of its companion before the same void crack appeared above the second head, the same arrow bursting forth with higher momentum as it drilled the head of the beast from above, turning its brain to mush.
Meanwhile, Xiao could only watch with blinking eyes, as the body of the beast flopped down after its death, in just a second its life was done, and he looked back at Li Lun who was holding her bow, seeing him look at her, she puffed out as her chest as she spoke,
"Don't worry! I will protect you!"
That was all that came out of Xiao as he looked at the killed beast, one of terrifying power, just died like that,
'Looks like her rating for High Tier supreme isn't for show'
In the world of cultivation, every being has a power level, which indicates the amount of power a person could wield at their stage of cultivation, not everyone has the same amount of fighting power at the same level of cultivation, thus a standard was made to measure how much better a person was then his peers at the same level of cultivation.
It was another marking that differentiated the geniuses and the average, the division was normally:
Each of these talents has a division of low, mid, and high between them, the ones of supreme level talent battle powers are one in zillions, it's rare upon rare upon rare, and the ones with such talent would be marked as the next successor of behemoth organizations,
'Though there are some more hidden talents above them'
Thinking so Xiao turned his eyes toward his rating.
Power level: Cosmic Breaker
'Yeah, never heard of it'
Xiao is starting to wonder if his existence might break many laws of the cosmos but he wasn't even given a lot of time to think before which two more beasts appeared, both of them similar to the previous beast, this time Xiao blasted forth toward one of the two-headed wolf beasts, its reaction wasn't slow as one of its humongous claw burst forth to take Xiao's life but he blocked it with one of his arrows before which his body blasted forth from the ground in a spinning manner, his expression relaxed as he did so.
Xiao appeared right above the blind spot of the beast as his swords flashed faster than the beast could react and just before its heads hit the ground Xiao was back in his position, he looked at the other beast that was already killed by Li Lun,
His words to Li Lun made her squeal as her face lit up with a goofy smile, Li Lun was more motivated than ever to kill all the beasts, who not knowing their doom rushed forth, this time three similar beasts appeared again, this time Xiao being too lazy to move used his Worldly control as he heightened the power with his soul energy.
Worldly control Tier 1: Spikey Rockey
Two of the beasts were drilled from the bottom as they soon became filled with holes, the power of any worldly control depended on the cultivation of the world spirit master, Xiao was inherently more powerful than the beasts that appeared, plus adding in his soul's energy to maximize the attack was just overkill.
Xiao waited for the next wave but none followed, the same illusionary figure once again appeared above the duo its words being heard,
"Um...the two of your powers are too high, so take upon a wave, survive this, and your rewards shall double"
No choice was given to the two of them before which the roar of several beasts was heard, gazing at the door Xiao could feel the floor he was in tremble from the wave that was about to hit them, seeing this Xiao turned towards Li Lun,
"Since its a wave, just standing will make us more disadvantages, once the wave overwhelms us, let's move, keep up"
His words made Li Lun smile as her expression turned serious and just as Xiao had finished speaking, several different beasts burst forth from the door, all of them of Heaven Core Realm, seeing this Xiao's swords lit up with Perefone as he waved his sword forward, a huge flame wave spreading forward as it burned the beast that came forth.
The ones that tried to put up a shield weren't able to do so as an arrow arrived at that precise time from a void crack, plunging into them, either killing them or taking away their focus as the black wave of flames burned them to ashes,
'She has good battle sense'
As a former commander of battle, Xiao inwardly nodded his head at Li Lun's small actions that completely changes the battle's atmosphere but Xiao didn't lose himself to his thoughts as beasts kept pouring out, all of them hungry and berserk.
Xiao waved his sword in circles as 13 black flame-like rings started to rotate above him, he waved his hand forth as they spun to the top of the door, each of them spinning about, as a new wave began one of the spinning rings fell, turning the first attackers to crips while inflicting damage to the rest that caught behind.
Then the injured survivors were quickly taken care of by Li Lun as her arrows plunged into them, thus a routine of death kept repeating itself, common energy forming between Xiao and Li Lun, though Xiao didn't go overboard as he gave Li Lun more chances to shine, at times he would give some advice to her, improving her battle powers further.
The beasts that kept coming forward were just experiences for Li Lun to grow, while all this happened Teresa watched it all of it with a smile on her face, she rubbed her hand like a shady merchant, as an amusing smile graced her face,
'Hehehe.....let the true battle begin'
