Chapter 5
"Second Rank of Body Refining Realm" Dana muttered with a pleased expression. With her new found confidence in progressing in cultivation, Dana has decided to hunt for some beasts. As she already asked the system earlier if she was strong enough to go around the area looking for beasts, the system indicated that she is in one of the safest areas of the forest and the strongest beasts in this area are only at around Ranm Three or Four of the Body Refining Realm at most. After having further knowledge on bloodlines Dana knew she has a great advantage, as a Frost Wyvern was one of the strongest beasts in this realm. As Dana has been asking many questions she found at currently she was in a low realm, in which there are barely any beasts that can compete with the Frost Wyvern bloodline at all. Not mentioning her bloodline purity is high, which results in her being naturally stronger than other Frost Wyvern's. This basically means that she is unrivaled in this realm compared to others at a similar cultivation level towards her, and that she can even challenge others which are two or three ranks higher. Dana quickly sprinted at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed for her size, her draconic paws carrying her at an absurd pace uncountable towards what any animal is capable of on Earth. After spending some time searching around the area she finally came across a large fox covered in blazing red fur.
"System which beast is that and how strong is it?"
[Host that is a Fire Fox, a spirit beast with a common bloodline with a natural affinity for fire. Due to its bloodline it can spit out fire blasts and it is currently a Rank 3 Spirit Beast]
Dana immediately wondered how many soul points it is worth.
[It is worth 5 points due to its common bloodline and its superiority in cultivation by one level, as your bloodline is many times superior it should not be difficult for you to kill]
After hearing the answer Dana immediately realizes how fortunate she have gotten with her cultivation method. She then decided that this will be her first
With a face of disbelief Dana knew her attack failed but before she can recover for another attack, the Fire Fox launched a ball of fire towards her. She decided to use her ability Frost Breath which shot a breath of Ice Qi, as spirit beasts will instinctively know how to use their bloodline inherited abilities it was no problem for her to use the ability perfectly. Unlike cultivators which use martial techniques, spirit beasts have bloodline abilities which they can naturally use at birth.
The ball of fire was immediately dispersed and the frost breath continued its path towards the Fire Fox, which nimbly dodged to the side.
Dana knew she underestimated the various other spirit beasts and that she should stop having a superiority complex towards other beasts because of her bloodline is stronger, as they have to survive in this deadly place full of predators on a daily basis, their battles instincts and experiences by far out do hers. She knew that she will have to have serious training to properly utilize her bloodline, otherwise she will be wasting her natural gifts. So, therefore she charged towards the Fire Fox. The Fire Fox decided to meet her in this exchange as it knew it cannot outrun the being in front of it and decided that this was the best method to survive this ordeal. As Dana bit into the Fire Fox and clawed at its body it let out a howl as it tried to fight back. But, how strong was a Frost Wyvern's body was? Unlike the Fire Fox, Dana could immediately tear open its flesh like paper and ignore the attacks opposing her due to her terrifying defense. After five minutes of a desperate struggle from the Fire Fox, it let out its last breath of life.
"Wow that was much harder than expected, system I thought this was supposed to be easy?"
Dana was shocked, as even with her natural advantages of being a superior spirit beast with a stronger bloodline she still received some injuries, with the Fire Fox battle experience it put up a great fight causing her to lose out on some of the exchanges. However, with her natural high vitality and strong defense she had nearly unlimited stamina whereas the injuries piled up over time causing the Fire Fox to get weaker and weaker until it couldn't put up a struggle.
[Host, it would be an easy battle with a usual Frost Wyvern and the Fire Fox, as you are very inexperienced with being a beast, you ended up taking injuries. The system recommends host to practice towards lower level beasts in order to gain more adaptability towards your body before confronting stronger beasts.]
Dana now knew how dangerous this world truly was, with the systems praises about how powerful her bloodline was in this world she had grown arrogant, thinking that she could defeat anything along as it wasn't vastly superior in cultivation towards her. She knew that she has to put more effort in training getting used to this body and having real battle experience before fighting the stronger beasts in this area. This was just a common Rank 3 Body Refining Spirit beast and she still struggled despite having one of the strongest rare bloodlines.
"Well I still have gained 5 soul points, guess I got more training to do before I go hunt spirit beasts which has uncommon bloodlines and are further higher levels of cultivation than me"
