Chapter 373: Chapter 369: Making a Fuss Over Nothing

Tu Xiao’an looked at the latest data that appeared. He took a good look. Whether it was a Battle Companion or a War Servant he had subdued, as long as their strength increased, the data would update.

Interestingly, the Two-headed Snake that Tu Xiao’an had thrown into Snake Valley was already Level 19. It would probably break through to the Rank Two Spirit Monster level soon and be able to speak.

Meanwhile, Xiaobai back home was also progressing at lightning speed. Although it was only Level 15, it had started as a common dog breed, so its progress was already quite remarkable.

He had also chosen an ancient canine bloodline for Xiaobai. Once its Level was a bit higher, he would have it evolve.

In the future, Tu Xiao’an planned to turn them all into Rank Three Creatures, transcending the mundane.

But for now, the first thing he needed to do was achieve his own breakthrough. As the saying goes, when one person achieves enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

He checked his Evolutionary Energy. Breaking through to Level 29 would only take a matter of minutes.

That was because Tu Xiao’an had Spirit Stones now, so he didn’t need to go out of his way to devour creatures.

With a narrowing of his eyes, a pile of Spirit Stones appeared on his bed. Each one was crystal clear and brimming with dense Spiritual Qi.

They instantly filled the room with a flowing, treasure-like radiance.

There were thirty Spirit Stones in total, which he had extorted from that old man, the Vice-Dean. The quantity was a little low, but it was enough to break through to Level 29.

Each one contained 100 Energy. Tu Xiao’an only needed to absorb 17 Spirit Stones to break through immediately.

With that thought, Tu Xiao’an picked up a Spirit Stone, held it in his hand, and began to absorb the pure Energy contained within.

Ten seconds later, the Spirit Stone turned into an ordinary rock, and Tu Xiao’an tossed it directly into the trash can.

Evolutionary Energy: 3400.

Next, Tu Xiao’an absorbed the Spirit Stones one by one, tossing them into the trash can one after another.

Soon, after seventeen Spirit Stones were absorbed.

"DING... Congratulations, Host, you have accumulated 5000 Evolutionary Energy and have successfully raised your Level to 29."

A flash of light enveloped him, and Tu Xiao’an’s strength once again took a great leap forward.

Level 29.

Evolutionary Energy: 0/100,000.

’What the hell...?’

Tu Xiao’an glanced at the new Evolutionary Energy data and was stunned. The required amount had skyrocketed from five thousand directly to one hundred thousand.

"System, are you screwing with me? Give me a perfect explanation for this."

The system spoke in a very official tone: "The Host is extraordinary. You must accumulate deeply to burst forth powerfully."

’Heh...’

One hundred thousand Evolutionary Energy was no simple task. Just to give an example, he would have to devour more than a dozen Rank Three Demon Spirits.

’Oh well. I’m going to the Yaoling Mountain Range soon anyway. There are plenty of Awakened Creatures there for me to level up and grind on.’

’My breakthrough will happen in the Yaoling Mountain Range.’

After Tu Xiao’an finished absorbing the remaining Spirit Stones.

Evolutionary Energy: 1300/100,000.

This handful of Spirit Stones was really too little. If Tu Xiao’an had enough, even a hundred thousand would be done in minutes.

’I wonder where I can get some more Spirit Stones.’

Tu Xiao’an stood up and walked out of his room. In the living room, he saw the Bull Demon King lewdly holding a sexy woman, the two of them getting intimate. It was a completely indecent sight.

The large crater in the living room from the previous battle had also been repaired by someone the Bull Demon King had hired.

When the Bull Demon King saw Tu Xiao’an walk out, he quickly stood up and said to the beauty beside him, "You don’t need to serve this old bull anymore. Go serve my master."

When the sexy beauty saw the handsome young man, Tu Xiao’an, a strange light flashed in her eyes. Overjoyed, she immediately got up and leaned toward him.

Tu Xiao’an frowned and dodged her. After seeing a supreme beauty like Luo Ziyun, the woman the Bull Demon King had found was, at best, cheap and tacky.

He wasn’t a lustful person anyway. ’Besides, what could this body even do?’

"I don’t need you to serve me. You can leave," Tu Xiao’an said with cool indifference. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The sexy beauty froze for a moment, then gave a seductive smile. "Little brother, I’m very good at what I do, you know. You’ll know once you try."

"No need."

The beauty’s seductive smile turned into a bitter one. She could only turn to look at the Bull Demon King.

The Bull Demon King waved her away.

Tu Xiao’an shot the Colorful Bull a glare and sat down boldly on the leather sofa.

"Master, if you don’t like this woman, this old bull will find you a few more. I guarantee they’ll have slim waists, long legs, and perky butts. They’ll have the bodies and the looks."

"No need. These internet-famous models of yours are all cast from the same mold. Finding more will be the same. You should just keep them for your own enjoyment."

The Bull Demon King said, "That’s true. Master has a goddess as beautiful as a flower. You naturally wouldn’t be interested in these faded flowers of mine."

Tu Xiao’an knew he was referring to Luo Ziyun. He suddenly remembered that he had originally planned to go to the noodle shop but was delayed because Luo Zijie had started tailing him.

He glanced at the time. It was still early, just past eight in the evening. He said to the Bull Demon King, "Handle your business affairs in the next few days. Then you’ll come with me on a trip to the Yaoling Mountain Range."

The Yaoling Mountain Range was also extremely dangerous. Tu Xiao’an wasn’t stupid enough to go alone. What was the point of subduing Battle Companions if not to have them help out?

"Master is going to the Yaoling Mountain Range?" The Bull Demon King was very surprised.

Tu Xiao’an looked at him. "Are you familiar with the place?"

"Tsk, tsk... More than familiar! This old bull achieved his breakthrough right there. It’s my birthplace!"

’Oh...’

Tu Xiao’an’s eyes lit up. "That’s great. I heard the Yaoling Mountain Range has five great Demon Kings. Which Demon King did you use to work for?"

The Yaoling Mountain Range was ruled by the five great Demon Kings. The Bull Demon King couldn’t have been a Scattered Demon.

"Before this old bull had his breakthrough, I was a subordinate of the White Demon King."

As soon as he said that, Tu Xiao’an’s eyes shone even brighter. ’This must be fate.’

"Then quickly tell me, how strong is the White Demon King?" Tu Xiao’an needed to rescue the old man’s granddaughter, which was equivalent to snatching the White Demon King’s future wife. It would be best to get a clear grasp of his opponent’s strength.

The Bull Demon King’s expression turned serious. He said, "Strong. Very strong. Unfathomably so."

Tu Xiao’an: "..."

’That’s the same as saying nothing.’

"How does a Rank Three Demon Spirit like you compare to him?"

The Bull Demon King said without hesitation, "Let me put it this way, Master. Ten of this old bull would be no match for the White Demon King."

"That strong???" Hearing this, Tu Xiao’an’s heart skipped a beat. The Bull Demon King’s strength was terrifying.

Subduing him had been anything but easy for Tu Xiao’an; he had even had to use every trick in the book.

According to what this Colorful Bull said, the White Demon King’s strength was even greater than Tu Xiao’an had imagined.

’This is a bit tricky. Damn it, I asked that stinking old man for only three thousand Spirit Stones. I asked for too little.’

"Master, why do you ask?" the Bull Demon King asked, confused.

Tu Xiao’an said lightly, "Your master is going to the Yaoling Mountain Range to snatch the White Demon King’s future wife. And while I’m at it, I’ll be taking his Centennial Ice Divine Fruit too."

’Huh...?’

The Bull Demon King suddenly sucked in a sharp breath of cold air, utterly shocked. The gasp was so strong it nearly created a vacuum in the air next to the leather sofa.

Tu Xiao’an couldn’t feel any air circulating and felt a sense of suffocation. Annoyed, he kicked out at him.

’Is there any need to be so dramatic?’
