Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 399 - 359 Exterminate!_2

Just as disheveled and broken.

The difference was that one was in training, and the other was on the battlefield.

The passionate will to fight that had filled him just moments ago now calmed down to still waters, as if everything had distanced itself from him.

The words of the first instructor, Wood, seemed to still echo near his ear—when reaching your limits, take one more step! And then another!

That was the only mystery to breaking through one’s limits, with no shortcuts!

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

The heartbeat was clearly captured by the auditory nerves, the drifting energy slowly absorbed by the body, transforming into everything needed: stamina, Spiritual Energy, movement reserves, and so on, yet the effect was very subtle.

Bai E discarded these sensations... and other, even deeper hidden things.

He must defeat the opponent in front of him!

He definitely had to defeat this opponent in front of him!

This was his most urgent goal at the moment!

Since he carried the expectations of many, he absolutely could not fall at this time.

The fringes of his vision reddened, yet under the coldness of Bai E’s heart, like a moonlit frosty pool, those fringes faded quietly as if they had never been there, even taking away the faint blood hue he hadn’t noticed before, completely vanishing without a trace.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

A handful of bright light gently spouted from his forehead, twinkling with soft, white beams like the festive lights of a holiday.

His consciousness expanded infinitely at this moment, as if suddenly pulled out from his body, arriving in the gray space surrounding him.

The space, like a thin veil, gently caressed his skin.

Bai E felt as though he could accurately sense the flow of the air, the humidity in the air, the speed of the gentle breeze...

Even the curvature of space... it seemed to exist in a curve different from the straight lines known to his cognition.

This momentary sensation was both lengthy and brief.

Almost within the span of a breath, Bai E blinked, and all those sensations disappeared instantly, replaced by... his Spiritual Energy filled to the brim and a startlingly keen sensitivity to everything around him.

[After countless purifications of your soul, your will has become clear as crystal. From now on, your level of Spiritual Energy has entered a brand-new realm...]

[Your Spiritual Energy +100/1, Mystery +1.]

Spiritual Energy second stage—Heavenly Heart Connection!

The second stage of Spiritual Energy, beyond quantity, also showed a significant qualitative change.

The previously indistinct and flickering iron rod, with the support of this more solidified and pure Spiritual Energy, instantly solidified.

The overflowing power enhanced Bai E’s physical functions in a more direct form, all depleted stamina and movement reserves were replenished in an instant by the overflow of Spiritual Energy, even doubling the enhancement effect of the first stage of Spiritual Heart Connection on his physical attributes, an immensely powerful feeling resonated once more within Bai E.

Bai E’s hand tightened on the iron rod, and he slowly raised his head.

A faint glimmer of Spiritual Energy flashed through his eyes before being swallowed by the night’s darkness.

The silver iron rod reflected the moonlight of the night, an attack far more violent and swift than any before instantly coming his way.

The hastily conjured magic sword’s flame was instantly scattered and extinguished, and the large crimson figure, along with the magic sword in hand, spun across the ground like a pulled top, rolling several times and being smashed away.

The demon prince, clumsily getting up, looked towards his opponent with eyes wide in shock, the huge rod in front of him gradually shrinking until it was held within the hands of a short figure at its end.

"Lengthen!"

"Lengthen!"

"Lengthen!"

A silent will urged the iron rod to grow rapidly, and the already exaggerated size of the rod began to swell once again.

Bai E twisted his body and powered through with another wild invasion.

A strike that reached for the skies!

"Boom!"

[Your attack dealt 424 points of bludgeoning damage to the target.]

The ground shattered, the demon’s crimson body sinking deeply into the earth beneath his feet, his legs buried halfway.

As the giant rod was raised again, the demon prince lifted up the magic sword in a reverse grip, attempting to counterattack.

However, the next attack arrived even faster than imagined.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The ground rhythmically trembled in succession, as the massive body of the demon was smashed deep into the earth like a whack-a-mole.

Observing the human wielding an astonishingly large object delivering such wild and fierce strikes, those standing far away were petrified, feeling uncontrollable shivers throughout their bodies.

Who exactly is the demon?

The silver iron rod was lifted high again, and Bai E silently chanted in his heart—

[Activate "Lucky Strike."]

"Boom!"

Blood-colored fragments flew about, then merged into the air, gradually fading, disappearing from sight.

Creatures from higher dimensions, regardless of their physical presence in the material world, do not leave behind essence from their bodies upon death in the material plane.

Those existences materialized by Spiritual Energy will inevitably return to where Spiritual Energy belongs.

[Item drop acquired: Battle Experience 10000 points, Trait: Fanatic Emergence, Spiritual Energy (Warfare): 100, High-Dimension Origin Fragment*1.]

"Phew~" Bai E let out a breath, and the iron rod in his hand shrank rapidly.

The core of the blood pool had been eradicated, but the mission was not yet settled; there were likely further procedures to complete.

He looked around at the scene he had destroyed beyond recognition. The appearance and annihilation of demons, apart from affecting the spirits of the people, left hardly any traces, but the battle between himself and the foe had caused irreparable destruction to the material world.

He wondered how this would be rumored and treated afterwards...

With no time to care about the potential aftermath, Bai E turned and walked away, his figure vanishing into the night.

...

"Huff! Huff!"

Franca panted heavily without a care for her appearance.

Forget confronting that terrifying Demon Prince—merely fighting those few Bloodletting Vampires alongside the "Children of the Demon" was not an easy task.

Franca, who had expended too much Spiritual Energy on the Demon Prince, although eventually managed to kill several Bloodletting Vampires with the help of the "Children of the Demon," found herself at a dead end.

She didn’t even want to lift a finger...

However...

Turning her head, Franca looked back. Beneath a heap of broken stones and rubble, the blood pool’s presence still shone ominously red through the crevices.

The blood pool was still there! The core was still there!

She did not know how Bai E, who had lured the Demon Prince away to let them fight the Bloodletting Vampires, was doing.

"Emmmmm... Hmm?"

Before her worries could fully overtake the physical exhaustion, Franca saw the light from the blood pool flicker and rapidly dim at a visible speed—like a lightbulb running out of power, it quickly extinguished.

"..."

What happened?

Why is the blood pool weakening? Has the core been destroyed?

But that Demon Prince, whom she could hardly defeat—just died like that?

Was it the timely arrival of her colleagues, or some passing Spiritual Energy expert who lent a hand?

A torrent of questions instantly arose in her mind.

She wasn’t doubting the abilities of the Black Street manager; it was just that even their high-ranking officers at the Arbitration Place would find such high-level demons troublesome, let alone an outsider without even Exorcism Essential Oil on him.

No wait... outsider!

Yes, he didn’t have Exorcism Essential Oil on him, and even if there had been some leftovers from what she had given to the "Children of the Demon" last time, it would not have been enough to face the gigantic Demon Prince of this time; how could he possibly have killed a demon of such magnitude on his own?

Lower-level demons like the Bloodletting Vampires might be handled by average people, but for high-order demons like the Demon Prince they faced, without Exorcism Essential Oil, it would have been impossible to completely destroy the opponent—even just their material world body.

This thought further strengthened Franca’s conviction.

Until she saw Bai E returning alone, she kept casting curious glances behind him.

"What are you looking at?" Bai E easily noticed the other’s attention was not on him and asked curiously.
