MORE BREAKTHROUGHS and Fighting Beasts

It had been 3 months instead of a week since Lei Long first stepped into the Spiritual Spring, his cultivation jumped to the 9th stage Qi Condensation. This cultivation speed is insane, he didn't take any outside help other than the room's natural attraction to Qi. Seeing his final cultivation level after 3 months, Lei Long thought to himself "It seems that the room doubled my cultivation speed, it would have probably taken me at least 3 times the effort if I didn't have this room." Lei Long wasn't wrong the natural attraction of the area is something many lower realm cultivators would kill for, but he never took into account how ridiculous going from stage 1 to stage 9 in just 9 months without the room would be. The top geniuses of the world took at least a year or 2 to cross Qi condensation. Patriarch Wang was in the living room sipping tea but when he saw Lei Long's cultivation level he spat it all out, "HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE, YOU... YOU... YOU... WE'RE ONLY IN STAGE 1 NOW YOUR STAGE 9."Lei Long blushed at the praise "Well It was only due to the Spiritual Spring, it made it 3 times faster." Patriarch Wang smashed the table and shouted "YOUR INSANE, NO WONDER BROTHER SHEN TOOK YOU IN AS A DISCIPLE, 9 MONTHS IN A NORMAL ENVIRONMENT TO GET FROM BEGINNER TO PEAK QI CONDENSATION, okay calm down, calm... down... Have you consolidated your recent breakthroughs." Lei Long stood shocked, the patriarch shouted so loud that he felt his eardrums were about to quit. Patriarch shook his head "Nevermind, your not gonna get executed but be more careful, there is a beast horde on the east and you can practice your skills there." Lei Long bowed and said his thanks to Patriarch Wang and left for the east mountains. It took half a day to reach the Origin Sect post, set up to act as a stronghold for the sect and to monitor the beast hordes movements. Lei Long went deep into the forest and found a blood tiger feasting on another mutilated beast. Lei Long smiled as this was his first time going into combat without any restrictions. Lei Long thought to himself "Okay, I have to test my other skills, I will find a strong beast and try to use my soul power on it." The blood tiger gave a murderous stare to Lei Long and it pounced at him. Lei Long jumped forward as well while running the "Qi Burst" Lei Long was way faster than the Blood tiger and so it had no chance, it got struck by Lei Long's attack and all that was left was a puddle of blood. Lei Long snorted as he said to himself "Weak..." Lei Long started walking even deeper into the forest where he finally found a worthy opponent. It was a Mountain Ape beast, it's strength was equivalent to a Core formation expert. The Mountain Ape turned around and saw a ripe little human child ready to tear open and it spit saliva in lust. Lei Long saw this and was disgusted as he said: "Mr. Ape, I have to kill you now so take my Qi Burst please." Lei Long activated the "Qi Rush" to rush the Ape and activated "Qi Burst" at the same time. The ape was incomparably more powerful than the Blood tiger. Lei Long realized that the ape was no joke and decided to convert the Qi on his plan to Ice Qi and the Qi on his leg to Wind Qi. During his practice, Lei Long learned how to convert Qi on the fly and also converting different elements at once. With the Wind Qi his speed increased and with the Ice Qi, the aura around him got stronger. The Mountain Ape didn't notice the changes and rushing. The ape didn't even get the chance to retaliate as Lei Long appeared in front of the ape and struck the apes body. The ape flew backward and the ice spread all across its body. The Mountain Ape was not enraged, he was one of the most powerful beasts in the mountain and yet this human brat actually injured him. The veins on the ape started expanding it's muscles grew even larger as it released an earth-shaking roar. Lei Long used Qi counter to push back the roar using Qi. The ape was using his lifespan to power up and now it's strength was comparable to a mid-tier core formation expert, while Lei Long's power might be heaven-defying he can't fight a mid-tier core formation expert yet. He activated Qi Rush to its peak and ran away while the Ape still chased from behind. Lei Long sighed "This is a bit troublesome."
