  As he watched the giant’s head surface, Bei Feng also felt somewhat conflicted in his heart.

  “Pa-da!”


  “Ji-ji!”


  Gu Qi’s face froze, and it dropped the carrot in its hands. It stared wide-eyed and slack-jawed as the giant slowly came out of the black vortex.

  Even though the gangster rabbit Gu Qi’s intellect was not weaker than a human’s, it still completely could not understand where this huge fellow had come from.

  “Up!” Bei Feng grunted lowly as he gripped the fishing rod with both hands. Large amounts of Blood Qi energy flowed to his arms as he jerked the fishing rod powerfully!

  “Bang!”


  The giant who’d seemed to only be the size of a normal human a moment ago instantly grew to the size of a small mountain as soon as it was lifted out of the lake, smashing heavily into the mountain gorge!

  This giant was at least 60, 70 meters tall and wide. It was really akin to a small mountain descending from the sky, causing the entire mountain gorge to tremble.

  “Hou!”


  After it landed on the ground, the giant tried to move its body. The actions that it could do with ease normally became extremely lethargic now.

  Even a simple action such as sitting up took the giant a lot of effort, and it still couldn’t get up.

  “Ding! 9 Moon Grade Treasure discovered, Metal Giant! (A miraculous life form born of nature, gaining consciousness through the mystical power of minerals!

  This is not a life form of flesh and blood. Its weakness is the core on the left of its chest. As long as the core is not destroyed, it can slowly recover from any kind of injuries. Killing the species and using one’s own fresh blood to baptize the body will result in the one obtaining the pure metal attributes from its body.) Experience gained: 3,000,000!”


  The System’s voice rang out in his mind, causing Bei Feng to scratch his head with some confusion.

  “So this huge fellow is a metallic life form, but what’s the use of the metal attribute after drenching the body with my blood?”


  Bei Feng wrecked his brain over the matter for some time. After obtaining the metal attribute from its body, perhaps it could only be used to craft some weapons.

  Although he was a little disappointed, and this was not what he wanted, since this giant was classified as a 9 Moon Grade level treasure, it had to have its extraordinary points.

  Seeing the curiosity on Gu Qi’s face, Bei Feng chuckled. “Gu Qi, kill it, the left part of its chest is its weak point.”


  “Ji-ji!”


  The gangster rabbit rolled its eyes and took out a blood-red sword. Its muscular legs kicked off against the ground, and it instantly appeared above the giant’s head, stabbing the sword downwards!

  “Ding!”


  A metallic sound rang out, accompanied by a burst of dazzling sparks.

  Gu Qi looked at the giant, and rubbed its eyes with confusion. A strike with a sword formed from its spirit power ability, even if it didn’t use its full strength, it shouldn’t be so weak that it could only leave a small scar not even two, three centimeters deep, right?

  “JI! What’s going on? This fellow is obviously weak, and it doesn’t have any kind of energy in its body. So how come its so hard?”


  Gu Qi tried to show off and failed, and it turned around and looked at Bei Feng inquiringly.

  Bei Feng pursed his lips and looked back at it. In his opinion, it wasn’t that this giant was weak. Instead, it was Gu Qi who was too weak. If he removed the hook now and the giant lost all its restraint, it would most likely be able to dominate Gu Qi with ease.

  After all, even with the powerful restraining strength of the fishing hook, this giant was still able to forcefully move itself. That alone was enough to show how strong it was!

  “Try aiming for its chest.”


  Bei Feng did not explain anything, and once again emphasized the giant’s weakness.

  “Ji!”


  Gu Qi squeaked in an unsatisfied manner, and then grew serious. A three meter long Sword Qi once again appeared on the blood-red sword, and even the ground began to crack from the pressure of the Sword Qi.

  The blood-red sword that was originally less than a meter long was wrapped in a layer of Sword Qi, causing it to look much more fearsome. The gangster rabbit stood still on the spot, while the blood-red sword in its hand suddenly shot out!

  “Ding!”


  The Sword Qi flickered unsteadily on the sword, radiating a shocking edge. With the full-force strike from the gangster rabbit, it embedded itself into the giant’s chest!

  The one meter long sword completely pierced into the giant’s body, only leaving the hilt outside.

  A blood-red bell appeared around the gangster rabbit. The huge bell was filled with carvings of birds, flowers, and fishes. It seemed ancient and archaic, shielding the gangster rabbit within it.

  “Dang!”


  The gangster rabbit’s body flashed, and arrived before the giant’s chest in an instant. A pair of powerful legs kicked out towards the protruding sword hilt on the giant’s chest!

  As Gu Qi’s feet came into contact with the sword’s hilt, a blood-red light appeared under its feet. This was the large bell’s comprehensive protection. Like a large hammer slamming into a nail, the sword hilt instantly disappeared, leaving behind a deep sword scar.

  That was not all. A crimson lash-like energy appeared around its claws. The other end of the lash was connected to the blood red sword deep in the giant’s body!

  “Weng!”


  As the gangster rabbit Gu Qi injected its energy, faint buzzing sword keen could be heard from inside the giant’s body. Copious Sword Qi burst out in all directions, causing this giant’s body to stiffen!

  “Bang!”


  The giant’s huge body tumbled to the ground, causing a plume of dust to rise to the sky.

  With a speed visible to the naked eye, the black light on the giant’s began to recede toward its chest.

  Bei Feng looked at the scene before him silently. Finally, all the black-colored light gathered in its chest.

  “So that’s all the essence energy of this giant? I wonder how much more powerful a weapon made from 9 Moon Grade mineral would be compared to my Soaring Rainbow!”


  Bei Feng went up to it and used his nail to scratch a wound on his palm. Numerous droplets of golden crimson blood continuously dripped onto the black energy.

  The black mineral throbbed and absorbed the blood greedily.

  After some time, Bei Feng had already lost 40 to 50 percent of his blood, and he finally stopped the blood flow. In a few minutes, the wound had completely disappeared, and there didn’t seem to be any damage at all.

  The only thing was that because he’d lost a bit too much blood, Bei Feng’s face was somewhat pale. However, this amount could be easily recovered with a day of recuperation.

  The black mineral essence began to vibrate, sending out ripples like a liquid.

  As he watched, this mineral essence flowed into his nose along with his breathing.

  In just a short time, the mineral essence had already entered his body. However, Bei Feng actually did not discover any changes on him. His body did not transform or bloat up from the large amount of foreign material entering.

  But if he went to weigh himself right now, he would discover that his 1.8 meters tall figure that was seemingly only 100-plus jin heavy had now far exceeded ten thousand jin in mass!

  Moving his body slightly, the stiffness quickly disappeared, and what replaced it was great strength!

  “Giant Bear Strike!”


  Bei Feng took a wide step out, and arched his body like a bow as he unleashed a punch at the surrounding cliffs!

  “Boom!”


  Huge boulders rained down from the sky. A 40 meters wide and over 100 meters deep fist mark was left in the cliff face, shocking the hearts of all who saw it.

  “It only raised my battle strength by a tenth. However, I get the feeling that this is not the true purpose of the metal attribute.”


  Bei Feng looked at his own ‘work’ and sank into deep thought.

  Under the observation of his powerful mental power, every process in his body was clearly recorded. Bei Feng could see the mineral essence in the giant’s body merging perfectly with him. This fusion was not only in one area, but compatible with many areas.

  From the smallest cells to his mental power and even his soul’s essence, all had become inseparable from this mineral essence.

  After sensing the situation in his body, Bei Feng had a strong feeling that he could definitely control this mineral essence!

  Come out! Bei Feng stretched out his right palm and silently willed the mineral essence to form in his palm and change into a long sword.

  Bei Feng stared intently at his hands for a moment, and shook his head. “Was it an illusion? Still, it’s not bad to be able to increase my strength by a tenth.”


  Bei Feng felt somewhat disappointed. He’d thought that he could use this mineral essence to create weapons, but who would have thought that it would directly fuse with his body.

  Just as he was about to retract his palm, his eyes suddenly shrunk as a black sword tip rose out of his palm!

  Bei Feng was sure that he hadn’t seen wrongly this time. In an instant, he grew excited as he watched more and more of the Qin-style bronze sword slide out.

  “Beng!”


  With an abrupt bang, the half meter of the sword which had been formed suddenly exploded, turning into countless black particles and disappearing.

  “What’s going on?”


  Bei Feng furrowed his brows. The sword formation was almost completed, but in the blink of an eye, it’d exploded.

  If something like this happened in the middle of a battle, that would really be a pretty sight. It would simply be gifting his head to others to chop.

  Bei Feng experimented again and again. Until he solved the problem, he wouldn’t feel at ease.

  The gangster rabbit Gu Qi was also very interested in the matter. It stopped chewing on its carrot and hopped in front of Bei Feng, watching his movements.

  But after some time, after watching him fail over and over, it squeaked in disdain and hopped away again.

  Time flowed by slowly; Bei Feng was like a possessed man as the black mineral essence continuously appeared in his hand.

  One day passed, and Bei Feng’s face looked exceptionally haggard. His eyes were so bloodshot that they were comparable to Gu Qi’s red eyes. Looking at the bronze sword in his hand, a smile appeared across his face as he dove into the stone chamber and fell asleep. In a short time, the sounds of light, uniform snoring rang out.

  One day and one night of practice on the control of mineral essence was too draining on mental power. Even Bei Feng’s vast amount of mental power was exhausted. Compared to the fatigue of mental power, going without sleep for a day and night was completely not worth a mention.
