Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1996: Chapter 1996: At Least Say Goodbye Before You Leave

The Six-Tailed Fox at its full power was definitely not someone Ye Haochuan could easily provoke.

However, at this moment, it was merely a remnant spirit, unable to exert the power it once had. As Ye Haochuan’s soul power pressed down, it automatically gave up resistance, standing obediently still, ready for Ye Haochuan’s disposal.

Yet, its essential blood caused Ye Haochuan considerable trouble, as he couldn’t easily control it using his spiritual energy. After several attempts, Ye Haochuan still couldn’t make the essential blood complete its intended path.

In the end, Ye Haochuan decided to change strategy, first dealing with the Six-Tailed Fox’s spirit.

The spirit of the Six-Tailed Fox still had some level of control over its essential blood. The reason the essential blood was depleting so quickly was due to the nutrients being absorbed significantly by the spirit.

This strategy was evidently successful; under Ye Haochuan’s pressure, the spirit of the Six-Tailed Fox soon became dormant and was forcibly expelled by Ye Haochuan, merging into the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi’s Nine-Tailed Phantom.

The originally brilliant form of the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi became extremely illusory due to the rules of the Immortal Realm, only showing a faint yellow light, like a piece of pale yellow glass.

After the Six-Tailed Spirit merged into it, the pale yellow phantom became more agile, and when it looked at Ye Haochuan, there was a sense of both closeness and fear.

A demon beast at the peak of Immortal Transformation already had fairly high intelligence; if it could break past the shackles of the Immortal Transformation Stage, its intelligence would be on par with humans.

A Nine-Tailed Sword Qi with intelligence would undoubtedly see its power exponentially increase by several levels.

Upon the successful fusion of the spirit, the essential blood immediately became more obedient. In just over ten minutes, the path it had been struggling to complete was finally finished. During its course, the essential blood was gradually absorbed by Ye Haochuan and transmitted onto the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi.

Having completed this process, when Ye Haochuan looked at the Nine-Tailed Phantom again, it had transformed significantly.

The Nine-Tailed Phantom had become much more solid, no longer being as faint as before, and had regained some of its former elegance in the Lower Realm.

Outside the orange fur of the Nine-Tailed Phantom, a layer of fiery red mist enveloped it, giving a somewhat ethereal feeling.

Ye Haochuan didn’t know what abilities this mist endowed the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi with, but just from looking, it seemed rather extraordinary.

Having successfully refined the Nine-Tailed Essence Blood and enhanced the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi, Ye Haochuan was in high spirits.

When he opened his eyes, he noticed a beast that resembled an ant not far in front of him, twisting about, seemingly up to something.

Upon seeing Ye Haochuan open his eyes, the beast quickly reverted to its original state, appearing somewhat dazed.

”Alright, stop pretending!” Ye Haochuan suddenly laughed.

The beast continued to stare at Ye Haochuan with a silly look, as if not understanding his words.

Ye Haochuan smirked and lightly tapped the beast on the head, saying, ”From the first time I saw you, I knew you weren’t just any ordinary demon beast. Later, when you let off that gas and saved me, it confirmed my suspicions. So, there’s no need to play dumb with me; I know you have intelligence!”

The beast frowned slightly at his words but stopped pretending. It raised its front two legs under its belly, reverting to its earlier contorted form.

Seeing its stance, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but laugh, ”Hey, are you trying to make a move? Come on, you don’t have to be so hasty. Just wait until I’ve left, so it’s not awkward for me.”

The beast surprisingly seemed to understand and gave Ye Haochuan a fierce glare, though it didn’t change its posture at all.

”Is there something inside?” Ye Haochuan, noticing the beast’s odd behavior, grew curious.

He grabbed the beast and began inspecting its abdomen.

The beast seemed embarrassed at having its secrets exposed and struggled continuously. But Ye Haochuan, who practiced the Long Family Technique, wasn’t that easily shaken off.

”Huh? There’s a hidden formation?” Ye Haochuan was suddenly taken aback.

On the beast’s abdomen was a small white dot, very tiny and usually unnoticed. Even if noticed, most wouldn’t discern anything from it.

But Ye Haochuan’s eyes were different from others’, able to see the most minute details, and he realized that this white dot was actually a formation—an incredibly advanced formation at that.

”Do you want to break this formation?” Ye Haochuan asked.

The beast hesitated but ultimately nodded in agreement.

”Let me give it a try!” Ye Haochuan winked playfully.

He had acquired some basic knowledge about formations back in the Endless Clouds but had yet to put it into practice, eager to test his skills.

Seeing Ye Haochuan’s expression, the beast suddenly grew anxious.

”Don’t worry, I’ll be very careful and won’t hurt you!” Ye Haochuan chuckled. Without waiting for the beast’s consent, he pulled out a small knife, gesturing it towards the beast’s abdomen.

The beast initially wanted to struggle, but upon seeing the knife in Ye Haochuan’s hand, it froze in place, fearing that any sudden move might lead Ye Haochuan to accidentally cut off some vital parts.

Of course, Ye Haochuan wouldn’t rush. He had already activated his Heavenly Eye, capturing all the fine lines of the formation.

Thanks to the Heavenly Eye’s acute sensitivity towards formations, all the foundation points within the formation became visible.

However, the formation was incredibly profound; Ye Haochuan observed for a long while and was still at a loss on where to start.

Though Ye Haochuan spoke nonchalantly, when it came time to act, he dared not move rashly. He knew nothing of the formation’s function. A wrong move might cause the beast’s body to explode, which would not be a pretty sight.

About half an hour later, Ye Haochuan finally put away the small knife and, using spiritual energy, condensed a fine needle to lightly poke a foundation point within the formation.

That faint touch sent both Ye Haochuan and the beast into a cold sweat.

With a seemingly faint crisp sound, the formation shattered.

Wow, I’m truly a genius at formations!

Ye Haochuan felt a surge of pride, but he soon discovered that beneath this formation lay an even more intricate one. After just a glance, Ye Haochuan felt dizzy and ultimately abandoned any further attempts.

Once the beast’s formation was broken, its aura surged dramatically. Though it remained at the early stage of Immortal Transformation, its combat power had undeniably increased by several levels.

It seemed that the formation had sealed many of the beast’s abilities, which explained why the auctioneer couldn’t find any unique traits in it during the auction.

”By the way, do you have a name... Hey, where are you going?”

Ye Haochuan was about to ask but noticed that the beast suddenly took off.

Ah, at least say goodbye since I helped you out?

Ye Haochuan felt a hint of indignation.

Never mind, I’ll consider this as a return favor for its help earlier, and we’ll be even from now on.

Ye Haochuan hadn’t planned to keep the beast with him for long anyway. It was better off on its own, lest Gu Fan find him because of the beast.
