Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 360 Keep Going

"My girl has all grown up," Bai Rouyun's voice was filled with pride, but also some amusement. Although many might consider it macabre to see such a cute little girl splattering blood on the ground, she felt happy to know that there was no cowardice or fear in the girl's eyes, and that she had the courage to protect herself.

Li Moyun could not help but twitch his lips. He looked at the little girl, and then his wife, and finally nodded his head in approval. Although he also wanted to support these adopted children to become stronger and protect themselves, he could not help but feel that the sight in front of him was somewhat overwhelming.

However, his wife said that it was a good thing, so naturally, he, as a qualified husband, also felt that it was fine. Even if these children became addicted to killing, as long as Bai Rouyun wished for it, he would help clean up the mess.

Being completely unaware of her husband's agreement with any of her decisions, Bai Rouyun was still very proud, looking at the children that were all doing their best, fighting against countless cicadas.

"Look, they are doing a good job of keeping the enemies away from Xiao Mao and Xiao Hua, but the Armadillo seem to have gotten some faith, now that the cicadas have arrived." Although the battle was getting chaotic, the children all managed to keep it under control. As a result, neither Bai Rouyun nor Li Moyun intervened in the result, but kept guarding and observing.

"Jiaojiao and Xiao Mao have some natural benefits with their attacks depending on their bodies. Xiao Hua, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Bao all depend on either transforming themselves or something else to attack, and their stamina is not as great yet." Li Moyun was also seriously observing the children and their performances.

"Currently, they might be having a better chance at fighting, but as the other three get a better foundation and can store more energy, their lethality should also rise. Both Xiao Mao and Jiaojiao might end up being held down by their bloodline, if they cannot keep mutating."

A beast's body only had a certain margin for improvement, and when this was reached, their achievements would become stagnant.

Xiao Mao had been gifted a special bloodline that had managed to help him mutate, and the previous upper limit was once more moved further away.

Even so, if Xiao Mao wished to keep advancing without being held back, he had to become a diety, and shed his mortal flesh, after which, it could no longer hold him back.

Although Jiaojiao was half-human she had the same difficulties as Xiao Mao, and thus she could easily be blocked in her advance through the ranks.

"If they are aiming for the divine ranks, then their training needs to be changed." Li Moyun looked thoughtfully at Xiao Mao and Jiaojiao.

"Although they will have to keep training their bodies, they also need to begin refining energy and using some suitable techniques. Relying solely on physical strength will not allow them to move far on the path of cultivation."

As Li Moyun spoke, he released a few extra cicadas. He was constantly increasing the pressure on the children, trying to see what their potential was like, and how far they could push themselves.

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Bao, and Xiao Hua are all somewhat strained now." Bai Rouyun naturally understood her husband's intentions, and she also observed the fighting in detail. It was clear that the three of them did not have a good grasp over their energy, and were quickly exhausted.

"They are holding on quite well. Although their rank is not low, none of them have fought real battles like these before. The training they did in the lower continent is not enough to really show what it is like when they are pressured." Li Moyun knew that they had been training often when cultivating and preparing for the Wushi Continent, but he also knew that those battles were nothing compared to what they faced now.

"The Armadillo was quite energetic when the cicadas arrived, but I don't think that it can hold on for long. As soon as it has died, Xiao Mao will be able to help Jiaojiao with the cicadas, and both Xiao Jin and Xiao Bao can take a short break."

Just as Bai Rouyun finished speaking, the Armadillo collapsed on the ground. This time, the beast was constantly leaking air, but unable to breathe in, and it only took a short while, before the eyes went dim, and the last breath of life was lost.

Xiao Mao did not slow down, but, as Bai Rouyun had said, rushed to help out the others with the cicadas, while Xiao Hua was a step slower. The Golden Emperor Vine was no longer throwing countless vines around without a care for the used energy, instead she was being more economical with her shots, and only took the sure-win battles.

The addition of Xiao Mao and Xiao Hua did lessen the pressure on Xiao Jin and Xiao Bao, who both relaxed their actions. Although they did not sit down and rest, the speed of their attacks slowed down significantly, as the restored their energy while still participating in the battle.

"They are doing a good job." Bai Rouyun could not help but nod her head in approval as she looked at her children that were fighting hard. All of them were exhausted, but none of them complained, nor asked her or her husband to help. They clearly knew that this was training, and they gritted their teeth to see it through.
