Yang Zhen’s words made Xiao Shi’s heart sink.

Before this, he had always thought that the night patrollers were safe in Golden Cloud City.

After all, the Golden Cloud City was the main city controlled by the Red Tiger Sect. If the people from the other factions could kill the night patrollers here, how could the Red Tiger Sect uphold their reputation?

In fact, the Red Tiger Sect also attached great importance to this point. Those who dared to attack the night patrollers in Gold Cloud City were always killed without mercy. As a result, none of the surrounding forces dared to cause trouble in Golden Cloud City.

Except for the Senluo Organization!

“It can’t be helped. The Senluo Organization is the most mysterious and difficult organization in the Seven Stars Province. They have many tricks up their sleeves. Not to mention us, even the Feiyuan Palace... can’t defend against the bounty hunters of the Senluo Organization.” Yang Zhen shook his head and sighed.

“However, the targets of these bounty hunters are usually powerhouses and geniuses on the bounty list. Ordinary night patrollers like us are not worth the bounty hunters’ special assassination.

“But if we’re unlucky and encounter these bounty hunters, they won’t mind taking care of us. In short, you have to remember that even in the city, you can’t be careless. In this chaotic world, no place is absolutely safe.”

Xiao Shi nodded.

To night patrollers like them, bounty hunters were indeed a greater threat and hidden danger. Other than that, the bandits and forces of the Glazed Moon Mountain were also eyeing them covetously in the dark, although they did not dare to have any designs on the night patrollers on the surface.

Once they found an opportunity, they would also attack the night patrollers. The bounty for killing the night patrollers would make many people tempted. This made Xiao Shi truly feel the danger of being a night patroller.

Before that, he thought that the crisis of the night patrollers mainly came from the missions they carried out. Only now did he realize that the danger was far more than that. Even if they were patrolling the city, there might be danger.

If he wanted to survive in this cruel chaotic world, he had to have sufficient strength.

This made Xiao Shi even more eager to improve his strength. After returning that day, he seized the moment and began the eighth cycle of the Red Tiger Technique.

After a few days of cultivation, he had roughly grasped the secret of the eighth cycle of the Red Tiger Technique. He was very confident that he could complete the eighth cycle today.

After circulating the first seven cycles, Xiao Shi did not stop and immediately started the eighth cycle. Although the operation process was a little jerky and slow, it was not interrupted.

In order to complete the eighth cycle, other than having certain requirements for one’s aptitude, the most important thing was the strength of one’s body.

The stronger the body, the easier it would be to circulate it.

With the strength of Xiao Shi’s body after his second body tempering, the difficulty of circulating the technique could be said to have decreased to the lowest.

Whoosh!

After two hours of operation, Xiao Shi successfully completed the eighth cycle. With this, he broke through and officially stepped into Martial Entry-Level Eight.

The moment he broke through, he could clearly feel the blood and qi in his body begin to surge. Originally, when he successfully tempered his body for the second time, his qi and blood had already increased greatly. Now, it has increased again.

This blood and qi was highly concentrated in his body. This caused the Qi and blood fluctuations on the surface to only be at Martial Entry-Level Five. However, the Qi and blood in his body had far exceeded that of an ordinary Martial Entry-Level Eight martial artist.

It was at least double that of an ordinary Martial Entry-Level Eight martial artist. But to reach the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level, there are still significant gaps.

“It’s said that a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist’s blood and qi is more than ten times that of an eighth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist.”

Xiao Shi recalled the qi and blood of the ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level powerhouse and felt that it was about this level. This made him sigh again at the huge gap between Martial Entry-Level Eight and Level Nine.

After successfully breaking through, Xiao Shi no longer hesitated. Before night fell, he decisively used the three hundred contribution points in his hands to exchange for a bottle of Night Frost Dew.

He looked at the contribution points in the token.

Nine hundred left.

Originally, he had a total of 1200 contribution points. Among them, 700 were the rewards for completing this mission. The other 500 were obtained from selling the feathers and blood of the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow to the sect.

In terms of contribution points, Xiao Shi did not have much of a goal. As long as he could reach 20,000 contribution points to become an inner disciple in three years, that would be enough.

As night fell, Xiao Shi immediately used the Night Frost Dew he had exchanged for to cultivate the Night Tiger. After applying the dew evenly to various parts of his body, he began the Night Tiger’s unique Heavenly Cycle.

It had to be said that the cultivation effect brought about by this dew was indeed very different. Xiao Shi could clearly feel the increase in his cultivation speed.

“At this rate, I’ll be able to reach the third level of Night Tiger in three days at most.” Xiao Shi was very excited about this.

A bottle of Night Frost Dew could be used about five times. It was enough for him to break through to the third level of Night Tiger.

These 300 contribution points were very valuable. But if he had to be equipped with Night Frost Dew to cultivate Night Tiger in the future, Xiao Shi would have to consider whether he could afford this expense.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the second mission.

In the meantime, Xiao Shi spent almost all his time on cultivation. During the day, he cultivated the Red Tiger Technique. At night, he cultivated the Night Tiger. Now, he has successfully cultivated Night Tiger to the third level.

Although it was very difficult to reach the ninth cycle of the Red Tiger Technique and it was not something that could be achieved in a short period of time, Xiao Shi was still working hard.

Before he became a night patroller, he always thought that as long as he had the strength of Martial Entry-Level Eight, he could protect himself.

However, after experiencing the previous mission and feeling the difference between the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level and the other stages of the Martial Entry-Level, as well as knowing the bounty issued by the Senluo Organization, he realized that his strength at Martial Entry-Level Eight was far from enough.

Once he encountered a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist, they would not be able to retaliate at all.

This made him eager to increase his strength.

At the same time, Xiao Shi was also investigating the bandits and gangs around the Golden Cloud City to see if there were any relatively weaker evil forces. He thought that if there were weaker evil forces, he could try to destroy them.

Currently, he needed the natural treasures dropped by the kills to temper his body. If he could destroy an evil force, there would definitely be many gains.

Unfortunately, these forces that could establish themselves around Golden Cloud City all had experts guarding them. Even the weakest had a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level powerhouse guarding it.

It is difficult to implement this plan.

“Unless I can reach the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level!”

Xiao Shi’s current goal was to break through to Martial Entry-Level Nine. He knew that the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level was a hurdle.

It was also a qualitative change!

As long as he could reach the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level, he would be able to target the evil forces around him. Every time he destroyed a force, he would definitely gain a lot.
