The Demon Slaying Training required the young geniuses of the Jiang clan to survive for three days and three nights in the Driving Heaven Forest, killing Earth Fey and Fey beasts for three days.
The total number of Earth Fey cores obtained by the five prefectures represented each prefecture's score. According to the score, the young geniuses of each prefecture would have different qualifications to practice the dragon martial skill.
The higher the score, the better the dragon martial skill. This was not to say that the Jiang clan was stingy, but it was a very normal method of competition in this world.
Only through competition could there be breakthroughs and development.
If there was no competition, then anyone could practice the strongest dragon martial skill. In that case, many juniors would not cherish it. Even if their martial arts realm increased quickly, their actual battle strength might not be that strong.
So, competition was the main theme of this martial arts world. All resources had to be fought for!
To the current Kang Shin-mu, the Demon Slaying Training was the biggest challenge in front of him. If he could surpass himself in this challenge, and defeat Jiang Liuxue's Northern Prefecture, then his future martial arts journey would be much smoother.
But the difficulty could be imagined!
The battle strength of a mere true dragon inheritor, such as Jiang Cheng, had already completely overwhelmed Kang Shin-mu, not to mention Jiang Liuxue, who was the inheritor of the Heavenly Dragon.
Jiang Liuxue's Heavenly Mystical Blue Fire Dragon legacy could suppress the vast majority of Earth Fey just by using her talent. Even fourth and fifth tier Earth Fey might not be able to withstand it.
It could be said that in the outskirts of the Driving Heaven Forest, Jiang Liuxue could do whatever he wanted. He could kill the vast majority of Earth Fey in a single move.
How could Kang Shin-mu compete with such a person?
His only chance was to become stronger during this period of time. Relying on the fact that he did not need to rest at night, he could use double the time with Jiang Yuening to attempt to kill more Earth Fey than Jiang Liuxue.
If Kang Shin-mu wanted to become stronger, the first was to devour the divine dragon. This could increase his dragon body and devouring power, and the second was to increase his martial arts realm.
The first level of the Dragon Ascension Realm was still too weak. If he could break through to the second level, then Kang Shin-mu's strength would increase by a lot.
In short, if he could advance to the third layer of the Dragon Ascension Realm, then he could easily crush a Dragon Martial Artist with a True Dragon inheritance.
If he could advance to the fifth layer of the Dragon Ascension Realm, he could even confront Jiang Liuxue head-on!
The increase in cultivation brought about an all-round improvement to the Dragon Martial Artist, including the physical body, talent, speed, strength, and other aspects of the explosive power.
When Kang Shin-mu was in the True Martial Realm, the reason why he could improve so quickly was that he had an outstanding talent in martial arts, and the speed at which he absorbed Spiritual Qi was far faster than that of ordinary people.
And now, his speed of improvement in the Martial Arts Realm would still surpass everyone else.
In fact, after transforming into a dragon, Kang Shin-mu's Devouring Power even helped him absorb Spiritual Qi, allowing him to improve even faster!
However, even so, if he wanted to step into the second layer of the Dragon Ascension Realm, it still wouldn't be so fast. According to the original speed, it would take at least half a year to break through.
Even if he had the Devouring Power, and the speed at which he absorbed Spiritual Qi had further increased, it would still be impossible for him to break through so quickly. It would take at least one or two months.
Therefore, this method could basically be rejected.
Unless Kang Shin-mu could get some medicinal pills containing rich Spiritual Qi, it would be possible for him to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible after taking the medicinal pills.
But in this barren mountain, it was even more impossible to obtain medicinal pills.
At night, Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening were traversing through the forest. The range of their field of vision was constantly shrinking, and even as the sun set, the whole forest began to become dark.
What they could see with their eyes became extremely limited, and basically everything was covered in darkness.
Under such circumstances, it was very dangerous to move around in the Sky Drive Forest. For example, if they were ambushed by the Multicolored Scorpion, its body would turn pitch-black and completely hide in the darkness.
Whether it was a sneak attack or a defeated escape, it would be several times more terrifying than it was during the day!
Moreover, the Earth Demons were extremely familiar with the Heavenly Drive Forest. Fighting in such a place at night would be very disadvantageous for a dragon martial artist.
If it wasn't necessary, no one would be willing to hunt in the forest at night. But in order to surpass the Northern Residence, where Jiang Liuxue was, Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening decided to continue killing demons.
The others needed to rest, but Kang Shin-mu could completely replenish his and Jiang Yuening's physical strength and energy by devouring the Earth Demon's Demon Cores. Even if they didn't rest for three days and three nights, it wouldn't be a problem.
As long as they could kill more Earth Demons and obtain more Demon Cores in one night, it would be a profit.
The sky darkened and the entire Heavenly Drive Forest was completely dark.
The forest was so dark that one couldn't even see their fingers in front of them. Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening leaned against each other as they quietly moved forward in the forest. Even when they stepped on the dense forest full of withered leaves, they didn't make the slightest sound.
In a situation where they couldn't use their sight, their hearing became their most trusted way of sensing things.
Any slight movement would attract the attention of Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening, and vice versa. Therefore, when they moved, they couldn't make the slightest sound. Otherwise, it was very likely that their prey would escape.
In fact, they might even be targeted by even more ferocious hunters!
Even if they were dragon martial artists, being ambushed in this kind of forest was an extremely dangerous situation. Since the Demon Beasts dared to ambush them, it meant that they had the confidence to defeat them.
The Heavenly Drive Forest was even more dangerous at night. At this time, the other dragon martial artists who had entered the forest had basically found a place to set up camp. They wouldn't run around and would also set up sentries.
On one hand, the forest was too dangerous at night, and on the other hand, they also needed to rest.
At this time, only Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening were still full of energy and were still moving deeper into the forest.
"There's movement!"
After moving forward for a while, Kang Shin-mu suddenly sensed some subtle noises in front of him. However, he didn't make a sound and only stretched out his hand to draw a circle on the back of Jiang Yuening's hand.
This was the secret signal that they had agreed on. Drawing a circle meant that they were ready to attack!
Although he didn't know what Demon Beast was in front of him, Kang Shin-mu was extremely bold. At this time, if he didn't act boldly, he wouldn't have the chance to surpass Jiang Liuxue.
He suddenly jumped out, shuttling through the darkness. In an instant, he pounced on a four-legged Demon Beast with a hard carapace according to the sound he heard!
As soon as Kang Shin-mu succeeded, his devouring power condensed on his body and turned into a huge black dragon that pressed down on the carapace of the four-legged Demon Beast. The dragon's claws were condensed with pitch-black mist, and it stabbed down at the other party's belly.
