Chapter 772 Seven Hundred Thousand Pounds Of Physical Strength! (Part Two)
It was a fatal blow for the lizard. The huge body was broken in the middle into two pieces, and it drew
itsst breath at once.
Without any dy, Austin got down to absorbing the lizard''s vital energy and blood essence. As a
result, his physical strength started to increase by over seventeen hundred pounds.
This was a good start and brought in the required gains ording to Austin. Although in theory, he
could have had an increase of twenty hundred pounds in his physical strength after absorbing the vital
energy of a level ten beast.
But that was the maximum possible amount of strength one could develop under ideal conditions.
While in reality, some of the vital energy was bound to be wasted during the extraction and absorption
processes. So it was wrong for one to hope to have the extravagant chance of getting it all. Austin
could only try his best and utilize the beast as much as possible.
And it had to be done as quickly as possible. Now he wondered, who should be next?
Austin unleashed his spiritual sense again, and his next target was chosen in a split second.
For Austin, it was a rtively easy job to pick a beast, kill it, use it and go on to the next one. He had
ample chances, for the whole ce was literally a hunting ground of level ten beasts. And as a level
ten beast was only equal to a cultivator at the preliminary stage of Imperial Realm, they were no match
for Austin at all.
It could be said that this cultivation was as easy as pie for him, as he achieved sess after sess in
the next couple of days.
On the first day, Austin managed to finish twenty five beasts of level ten and made their vital energy his
own.
The first day''s work had helped him increase his physical strength by about forty thousand pounds in
total.
On the second day, the number of beasts he killed was beyond thirty.
And this resulted in an increase of around fifty thousand pounds of strength in him.
These were good harvests, but Austin started to be unsatisfied since he felt that his body was
able to absorb more vital energy in a day. The problem was that he couldn''t collect as many beasts as
possible in a short time, since they were scattered around and his power was still limited.
After thinking over it, he decided that to gain more, it was better if he did not work alone.
Therefore, on the third day, he sent out dozens of corpse demons, and ordered them to spread out and
find prey for him.
He ordered them that when they found a prey, they would first bash the beast up and cripple it before
bringing it back to Austin. The rest of the process would be easy and faster for Austin to execute.
Austin only had to make sure that the corpse demons he was sending out would not kill the beasts on
the spot. If they did so, the vital energy of the beasts would escape from their bodies very quickly after
their death.
It was the reason why Austin had to be the one to kill them. Only then could he enjoy the freshly-taken
vital energy and the beast blood. If the beasts were killed before he got to them, it would all be in vain.
As thest day approached, Austin was acting quite like a king, who would sit peacefully in his imperial
city and wait for his army to get him tributes of dying beasts. It was a tactic of reaping without sowing.
The tactic had worked well. At the end of the third day, Austin was able to absorb vital energy from over
a hundred beasts!
That led to an increase of about two hundred thousand pounds in his physical strength!
He thought over of the strength he would gain if he added thest day''s aplishment to the
previous days''. He was quite pleased thinking about it.
ording to him, the number would be nearly three hundred thousand, and his current physical
strength would mount to up to seven hundred thousand pounds!
This was quite a satisfactory result.
He was so joyful and yet started to regret about noting up with that great idea earlier. If he had let

the corpse demons do the time-consuming part of the job on the first two days also, the results would
have been better.
He would have absorbed far more vital energy and made even higher progress in his physical strength.
Lost time is never found again, so is lost chance. Austin could only regret the dy and call himself
foolish for that.
Luckily, the result was not that bad. With his strength increased to seven hundred thousand pounds,
now he could deal with a cultivator who had reached the preliminary stage of Master Realm. And if he
met someone as powerful as Malick again, he wouldn''t have to run away with his tail between his legs.
After finishing the cultivation in three days, Austin went to gather the others. It was time to continue
their journey.
He pondered over about how one month ago he had taken the Magical Beast Elixir.
And in these three days, he had settled down to practice the Beast Energy-extracting Skill in the
Sunset Mountain. Everything went as he had nned.
And finally Austin had fulfilled his task and be stronger.
Now he felt it was time to leave the ce.
So, he led his team and trudged down the mountain, leaving the dangerous and adventurous mountain
range.
A long day of travel ended, and the Crystal Mine Mountain appeared on the horizon.
It was Austin''s second visit to that mountain. Deep in that Crystal Mine Mountain, he had found the
statue of the Sword Emperor, hidden in a burrow.
Standing outside the mountain area, memories came rushing as he thought of that statue.
Without the help of that Sword Emperor, he would have lost his life and soul to that greedy Jim in that
weird city.
But again, if not for that statue, Malick wouldn''t have been hunting for him in the first ce.
If Malick wasn''t after him, he would not have fled into the valley, and would not have ended up being
transferred to Jim''s city.
