Xi Yuying and Jiang Liuxue naturally did not have any objections to Kang Shin-mu's decision.
Although they had accompanied Kang Shin-mu to search for Jiang Zizai, they were in no hurry to return now that their goal had been achieved. After all, they could train wherever they went. Hunting ninth firmament Skydemon Fey beasts with Kang Shin-mu was equally rewarding for them.
Furthermore, there were some natural treasures of good age in Dragon Ice Canyon. Although these natural treasures could not compare to the ones Kang Shin-mu had consumed in the Heaven Awakening Demon Realm, they were still very useful for them.
In Dragon Ice Canyon, there weren't many ninth firmament Skydemon Fey beasts, but they weren't few either. The main reason was that the canyon was huge. As long as it wasn't an existence that could instantly kill a ninth firmament Skydemon Fey beast, it was impossible for the Fey beasts in the canyon to go extinct.
Therefore, Kang Shin-mu led the two girls to hunt Fey beasts without worry.
Ninth firmament Skydemon Fey beasts were much weaker than eighth firmament Skydemon Fey beasts. They were much stronger and had rich demonic powers. If not for Kang Shin-mu constantly devouring the power of frost ice, he would not have been able to withstand their attacks.
Even so, he still encountered danger many times. If not for him devouring the Fey core of the defeated Skydemon to recover from his injuries, he would have long died in Dragon Ice Canyon.
Even so, he still chose to kill ninth firmament Skydemon Fey beasts.
This was because only ninth firmament Skydemon Fey beasts had sixth-grade ice cores in their bodies. Even eighth firmament Skydemon Fey beasts only had fifth-grade ice cores in their bodies. The difference in value was ten times.
Therefore, although eighth firmament Skydemons were much easier to deal with, to Kang Shin-mu, it was still not as cost-effective as ninth firmament Skydemons.
Especially during the training, Xi Yuying and Jiang Liuxue broke through to the fifth firmament Divine Martial realm. They became more adept at hunting Fey beasts, and their efficiency increased. On average, they could kill a ninth firmament Skydemon a day.
During this period, Kang Shin-mu and company encountered many dragon warrior teams that came to Dragon Ice Canyon to hunt Fey beasts. However, they did not see Wei Binghai and company.
They were not in a competitive relationship with the other Dragon Warriors, so there was no conflict.
Just like that, a month quickly passed!
Kang Shin-mu, Xi Yuying, Jiang Liuxue, and the others brought a total of twenty-nine Sixth Grade Ice Cores back to Dragon Ice City and went to the Demon Hunters Association to exchange for a few dragon martial techniques.
It was too difficult for a Divine Martial Artist to obtain a Sixth Grade Ice Core.
Ten Sixth Grade Ice Cores could be exchanged for a Third Grade Dragon Martial Skill, which was extremely difficult for a Divine Martial Artist, but for a Nirvana Tribulation Dragon Martial Artist, what they pursued was a Second Grade Dragon Martial Skill.
Of course, for a Jiang Clan dragon warrior like Jiang Rong, even if he had the strength, he would not be able to obtain a powerful dragon martial technique. This was because the Jiang Clan did not have such resources.
Even if a genius of the Jiang Clan obtained a powerful dragon martial skill outside, he would not be able to pass it down to the Jiang Clan. This was because the dragon martial skill obtained outside was only a memory imprint. It could only be cultivated by one person.
To pass it down, the person who cultivated the dragon martial skill had to be able to cultivate it to the peak of the Heaven rank.
However, if one wanted to cultivate the Dragon Martial Skill to the Heaven Rank, the difficulty was too great. Even if one reached the Dragon Rank, the power of the Dragon Martial Skill would be different from before. If one wanted to reach the Heaven Rank, one would never be able to do it.
Even a genius dragon warrior would need at least a few years to cultivate a dragon martial skill to the Heaven rank. Moreover, it was a low-grade dragon martial skill.
If it was a Second Grade or Third Grade Dragon Martial Skill, a genius dragon warrior would need at least ten years to cultivate it to the Heaven rank, and that was under the condition that their luck was good.
"The Shadow Dragon Fang Transformation is a Third Grade Dragon Martial Skill that Sacred Dragon Xi Tao cultivated to the Heaven rank. This is also a Third Grade Dragon Martial Skill passed down in the Xi clan residence. It is considered one of the strongest dragon martial skills in the Xi clan residence."
Kang Shin-mu thought, "Now, we have twenty-nine Sixth Grade Ice Cores. With just one more, we can exchange for three Third Grade Dragon Martial Skills.
Now, I want a defensive Dragon Martial Skill. As for the other two, I'll let Xi Yuying and Jiang Liuxue each choose one. "
A Third Grade Dragon Martial Skill was not easy to obtain.
Although Kang Shin-mu wanted to choose a Second Grade Dragon Martial Skill, he could not let Xi Yuying and Jiang Liuxue's hard work go to waste this month.
To him, the Third Grade Dragon Martial Skill was not the key. The key was to cultivate the Dragon Martial Skill. A Third Grade Dragon Martial Skill was much easier to cultivate than a Second Grade Dragon Martial Skill. For Kang Shin-mu, it would allow him to improve faster.
Choosing a Third Grade Dragon Martial Skill did not mean that there were no benefits.
"Bring these twenty-nine Sixth Grade Ice Cores back to Dragon Ice City and hand them over to the Demon Hunter Association. Each of you can choose a Third Grade Dragon Martial Skill."
Kang Shin-mu instructed Xi Yuying and Jiang Liuxue. "As for me, I have some matters to attend to and will leave first. I will return to Dragon Ice City in a week's time to look for you."
"Okay. Be careful."
Jiang Liuxue solemnly said to Kang Shin-mu.
In this month, she had advanced by one level, reaching the fifth level of the Divine Martial Realm. She was only one level below Kang Shin-mu. However, when facing ice-attributed Demonic Beasts, the difference in their battle prowess could be said to be like heaven and earth.
Of course, if they were facing ordinary Demonic Beasts, the difference between them would not be so exaggerated.
The main reason was that Kang Shin-mu's resistance to ice-attributed power was too strong. Even if a Demonic Beast that was slightly above the Sky Demon level and equivalent to the Nirvana Tribulation Realm attacked him, it would be very difficult for it to break through his defense.
Xi Yuying was a little reluctant to see Kang Shin-mu leave, but she also knew that Kang Shin-mu definitely had his own matters to attend to, so he asked them to return first. Hence, she could only bid farewell to Kang Shin-mu and return to Dragon Ice City with Jiang Liuxue.
In this month, the two girls and Kang Shin-mu had been together all the time, and their relationship had become even closer.
Especially Xi Yuying, the feelings in her heart had grown even stronger.
Unfortunately, Kang Shin-mu had not yet deeply understood this point.
He asked the two girls to return to Dragon Ice City first. As for himself, he naturally planned to make a trip to the Heaven Awakening Demon Realm to raise his cultivation level.
When he stepped into the Dragon Ice Canyon, he was at the sixth level of the Divine Martial Realm.
This time, after returning to the Heaven Awakening Demon Realm and consuming the natural treasures that Qi Tian had prepared for him, he would almost be able to step into the seventh level of the Divine Martial Realm. The main reason was that this month of intense battle with the ninth level Sky Demon had allowed him to completely consolidate his cultivation level of the sixth level of the Divine Martial Realm. It was completely possible for him to directly raise it!
"Then, let me raise my cultivation level again!"
Kang Shin-mu touched the blood-red dragon scale that he had taken out from his bosom. Then, in the hidden area of the Dragon Ice Canyon, a spatial door quietly appeared, and then was covered by the power of illusion.
