Another morning passed, and only 20 people remained from the 50 people who had come for the assessment, including Yang Mu and Xi Xiangnan.
However, Han Tianyu wasn't overly disappointed. The remaining 20 people all had relatively good aptitudes and Basic Attributes.
However, Han Tianyu still had another test waiting for them, and that was to test their character.
He didn't dare accept Qian Peng's students carelessly. Like Master, like disciple. This was the old adage.
Han Tianyu would rather have none left than have scum like Qian Peng in his guild.
As for the character test, Han Tianyu planned to leave it to Lan Jingyuan in two days.
After all, he was a veteran in Jianghu. Testing a person's character was his forte.
"Chief, may I ask if I can still be a teacher in the guild?"
Yang Mu trembled as he approached Han Tianyu and asked with utmost respect.
"Of course you can, but only if you have real talent!"
"Oh!
That's great. I have a deep understanding of demon beasts. "
"Oh?
You have a deep understanding of demon beasts?
Then how much do you know about demon cores? "
Li Mo was curious to see this person's confidence.
Since he didn't know how to refine the tenth level demon core, he might as well ask.
If Han Tianyu agreed with his words, then it proved that he wasn't exaggerating.
Han Tianyu knew what Li Mo was thinking and looked at Yang Mu with interest.
"Ha-ha … it's like this. When a demon beast reaches the eighth level, its body will produce a crystal core, also known as a demon core.
The reason it produces a crystal core is because the demon beast's body can no longer store any more energy as it grows stronger. So it stores the energy in the demon core.
After its death, the energy won't leave the body, but rather enter the demon core.
This way, the energy won't scatter like other low level demon beasts, but will be preserved for a long time! "
"En!
That sounds quite reasonable. Then do you know how to distinguish the level of the Monster Core and how to refine it? "
Li Mo saw this was the same as Lan Jingyuan's, and even more detailed. His interest was piqued.
"Oh!
As far as I know, there are four kinds of Monster Cores. White represents the Monster Core of an Eighth Level Monster Beast. Gold represents the Monster Core of a Ninth Level Monster Beast. Red represents the Monster Core of a Tenth Level Monster Beast. As for the Black Monster Core, it represents the Monster Core of a Eleventh Level Monster Beast. However, I have only seen Monster Cores above Ninth Level in books.
As for how to refine the Monster Core, it's even easier. You just have to swallow the Monster Core and guide the energy inside to circulate throughout your body! "
Li Mo couldn't help but glance at Han Tianyu. Seeing him nod in satisfaction, Li Mo spoke to Yang Mu.
"Instructor Yang is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable!
If I have any more questions in this area in the future, I will definitely bother you again! "
"I don't dare … I don't dare …"
Yang Mu was there when Li Mo killed Hou Bo yesterday.
Li Mo had the Concealing Heart Jade on him, so Yang Mu couldn't see his level.
But to be able to kill a level 50 warlock in one hit, Li Mo's power had to be above Hou Bo's.
Today, Li Mo was so courteous in asking him questions, putting him in a state of anxiety.
He was afraid that if he didn't answer well, he'd bring disaster upon himself.
"Alright then!
I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving! "
With that, Li Mo walked to his temporary residence.
Han Tianyu shook his head helplessly. He knew what Li Mo was going to do.
He called the Land Rover to his side and told it to watch Li Mo and not let anyone disturb him!
Back in his room, Li Mo sat cross-legged and took out the Monster Core.
It was the size of a chicken egg and Li Mo swallowed it in one gulp.
His body felt hot and dry as the tyrannical energy ran amok in his body, bringing with it a sharp pain.
Li Mo endured the pain, guarding the last shred of clarity in his mind. He slowly guided the rampaging energy in his body bit by bit, guiding it through his meridians.
He sat like this for a day, until night fell and Li Mo's pain subsided.
But the tenth level Monster Core's energy was too much. He only managed to refine a fifth of it in a day.
"Damn it, that damned Yang Mu lied to me. Why didn't he tell me the refining process would be so painful?"
…
Three days passed in a blink of an eye and Li Mo still had half of the energy to refine.
But he didn't know if it was because the pain had lessened, or because he had gotten used to the heart-wrenching pain. Either way, it was much better than the last two days.
But he only cared about absorbing the Monster Core's energy, oblivious to the passage of time.
"Chief, Little Mo hasn't left the house for three days.
Will there be any danger? Should I go in and take a look? "
Tiger on the Road watched over Li Mo for three days and couldn't help but worry at the lack of movement.
"No need. He's absorbing a tenth level demon core. Even I would need two or three days.
Don't worry, he'll come out safe and sound in three days. I wonder what kind of surprise he'll bring us this time! "
"Sigh!
Alright. "
Tiger on the Road went back to Li Mo's residence. He was doing his duty well.
Apart from the time he left to look for Han Tianyu, he stayed by Li Mo's door even when he was eating and sleeping, fearing he'd be disturbed.
On the fourth night, Li Mo saw a glimmer of hope!
There wasn't much energy left in the Monster Core. It would only take a few more hours to refine it all.
At the same time, unbeknownst to Li Mo, his level soared. He was now at the 45 level.
The moon set and the sun rose. On the fifth day, Li Mo refined the last strand of Monster Core's energy and reached the 46 level.
"Ah …"
Li Mo stretched, moving his numb legs.
Only then did he stagger towards the door.
Creak …
Pulling open the door, the Land Rover, which was dozing off by the door, slipped and fell to the ground!
"Ah!
What's going on?
Uh … "
Alerted, the Land Rover stood up and scanned its surroundings.
But when he saw Li Mo's doubtful expression, he relaxed.
"Little Mo, you're awake!
You scared me. I thought someone was coming to attack you.
"Mentor Tiger on the Road, how long have I been in the room?"
"Five days."
"Five days?
You've been watching over me these past five days? "
"Of course. The leader was afraid you'd be disturbed and had me watch over you."
Li Mo's heart warmed when he saw how tired the Land Rover was.
"Mentor Tiger on the Road, I'm fine.
You should go rest! "
"Ha-ha … it's fine. I'm not tired.
It didn't stop me from eating or sleeping. In fact, sleeping outside is much cooler than in the room.
Hey!
What happened to your feet? "
"Sitting for five days made them numb!"
…
Knowing Li Mo refined the Monster Core, Han Tianyu and Leng Yihan rushed to Li Mo's room.
"Ha-ha … you're quite something, kid. A 10th level demon core helped you break through six levels in a row!
You refined it thoroughly, not wasting a thing. "
"How is this not wasted?
The Vice Guild Leader had said that I could reach Level 47 at most.
But now I'm one level off. But I don't know where I wasted that energy. "
Li Mo spoke with regret.
"I say, kid, you're not satisfied with a six level increase?"
"Chief, how can I be satisfied?
I could have gone seven levels. You know how hard it is to level up.
How many demon beasts do I have to kill to make up for this level of energy? "
Li Mo wasn't being too serious, but he was in dire need of energy.
Even a sliver of energy was crucial to him, not to mention a whole level of energy.
"No, I have to ask Yang Mu!"
Ignoring Han Tianyu and the other two, he staggered out of the room.
…
"Mentor Yang Mu!
Mentor Yang Mu … "
"Oh?
It's Li Mo. I haven't seen you in days. Where did you go?
You don't look so good either, with dark circles under your eyes. Did you not rest well? "
"I didn't come looking for you to treat me.
Let me ask you, if a 40th level cultivator refined a 10th level demon core, how many levels would he get? "
"I-it should be around the fifth or seventh level."
"Can you be more specific?"
"I really don't know. I've only read about it in books.
I've never seen a 10th level demon core. How am I supposed to answer you?
If you want me to answer, I'll settle for the sixth level! "
