Breakthrough 6-Star Dou Zhe Realm Practitioner , Starting The Trip Toward Home

Hao Shen slashed his finger through the air using the Sword Finger Dou Qi Skill, a Slash of Sword Light was fired from the tip of his finger and killed the Peak Rank 1 Magical Beast in front of him.

'The Sword Finger is really powerful, I have only reached the fifth level but I can already kill Rank 1 Magical Beast with only a wave of my fingers.'

Six days had passed since the breakthrough of Xiao Hei , Hao Shen had trained the Sword Finger Dou Qi Skill up to the fifth level making the power of his Sword Light stronger than the one he could slash out while using his Sword , but he could only fire two Sword Light's slash before exhausting his Dou Qi , it was due to his current cultivation, since he was still a 5-star Dou Zhe realm practitioner , he had a small reserve of Dou Qi.

Xiao Hei was currently lazily on a tree some meters away, he seemed bored to death while watching Hao Shen kill weak Magical Beasts to test his power.

Hao Shen trained for a few more hours before deciding to go back to the waterfall cave.

Once he arrived he sat cross-legged and started his daily cultivation, he started to use the Star-Fire Revolution Mantra and circulated his Dou Qi while absorbing some from outside of his body.

Hao Shen had calculated that he should breakthrough today so he concentrated and made use of the last bit of remaining Fire Dou Qi inside of his body and fused it with the Dou Qi he absorbed from the outside and started to fuse them little by little.

After an hour the remainings of Fire Dou Qi were completely absorbed and the Dou Qi inside of Hao Shen's body started to move frenetically, pulse after pulse of Fire Dou Qi erupted inside of Hao Shen's body and suddenly pierced through the bottleneck of the 6-star Dou Zhe realm.

Hao Shen finally became a 6-star Dou Zhe realm practitioner, he sat there without moving for three more hours during this time he stabilized his cultivation.

After the three hours passed Hao Shen opened his eyes suddenly and stood up.

One week later

Hao Shen was standing before the waterfall looking at the cave, he whistled one time and some instant later a dark bird came flying from far away.

It was Xiao Hei, he had gone hunting some weak beast once more last night and didn't come back before Hao Shen had called him.

Xiao Hei landed on Hao Shen shoulder and snuggled his head with Hao Shen's.

"Xiao Hei we're leaving, for now, I have to go back home."

Xiao Hei seemed to understand so he nodded his head.

Xiao Hei's intelligence was really far more developed than any beast of his age, Hao Shen suspected that this fact came from his interaction with a human that was speaking to him but it could also be due to his bloodline.

Hao Shen started to walk slowly towards the exit of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

While walking he passed by the spot where he had killed the Rank 1 Magical Beast the Blood Devouring Python that was the first time that Hao Shen had ever killed a living being so it was quite a strong memory.

After more than two hours of travel, he reached the entrance of the Magical Beast Mountain Range and stepped outside for the first time in nine weeks.

He looked back one last time and resumed his trip, Xiao Hei was currently sleeping on Hao Shen's shoulder, he had shrunk his body to the size of a normal adult raven.

During their trip back home, Hao Shen and Xiao Hei's met with several groups of people, they were merchant, mercenary or practitioner that went towards the Magical Beast Mountain Range or towards another place such as a surrounding city.

Hao Shen even recognized some merchant caravan that often came to the Hao Clan City to do business.

One week later

Hao Shen stood far away from a little Town and looked at its entrance.

'I came back to Iron Bull Town quicker than I expected since I walked all the way back, let's go get something to eat and I'll resume my travel.'

When he arrived at the entrance of the Iron Bull Town the guard that he had met at the entrance of Tie Niu's manor was currently giving orders to the guard standing at the Town entrance, when Hao Shen approached the Town entrance , all the guard looked at him since he was the sole person entering it at this moment.

The guard of the manor turned around since he saw all the other guards look towards the same direction, when he saw Hao Shen he was shocked and he then recovered and walked towards Hao Shen.

"Benefactor, you finally came back to our little Town after so much time, it's a pleasure to have you."

Hao Shen was surprised at first but he didn't show him on his face.

"It's been a while, you don't guard the manor anymore ?"

The Manor's guard was surprised that Hao Shen had remembered him and he smiled.

"It's thanks to benefactor grace since I was the one who brought you in when the little Boss was poisoned, Boss promoted me to Leader The City Patrol Hehe."

"Good for you, work hard, I'll see you next time."

"Yes, have a good time inside Iron Bull Town."

After that Hao Shen went to the inn where he had stayed and commanded some things to eat.

He shared a meal with Xiao Hei and departed from the inn after paying.

He exited the Town without interruption and continued his trip to the Hao Clan City.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One and half a week later, Hao Shen stood at the entrance of the Hao Clan City, the city was bustling with people and the City Guards were diligently surveilling the entrance.

Hao Shen went towards the highest ranked City Guard.

"Gu Bo, can I enter the city now ?"

At first, Gu Bo was surprised by who was speaking to him like that but when he lifted his eyes.

"Youn-Young Master you are back, obviously you don't need to queue up." after that Gu Bo donned some soldier to open the City Door and Hao Shen went in.

'I've finally arrived, I'm back!'
