Given such a worthy opponent, he would not miss this excellent opportunity.

And so...

[Water Tracing Sword Technqiue (minor mastery): 1/100]

[Light Body Skill (minor mastery): 1/100]

Yang Ji\'s Flying Sword drew an arc in the air, imitating the flow of water falling down, and also resembling the soft turns of Taichi.

With each sword strike, he dissipated the overwhelming force on the King Crab\'s lance-like legs, often causing its heavy blows to fail and rebound.

Having grasped "feather riding the wind," his form became elegant, moving unpredictably, hovering and dropping, significantly improving his agility and handling the King Crab\'s attacks with much more ease.

However, the more the King Crab fought, the more frustrated it became, feeling that the human before it was becoming slipperier, unable to injure him despite all its tricks.

Yang Ji, perceiving its thoughts, would occasionally pretend to be hit, instantly reinvigorating the King Crab and exciting it greatly.

This conflict occurred regularly each evening.

Time flew by.

Another ten days passed.

Yang Ji had been on Wild Heaven Island for fifteen days now.

The continuous high-intensity combat induced another breakthrough in his Water Tracing Sword Technique and Light Body Skill.

[Through continuous use of the Water Tracing Sword Technique, you have comprehended the sword\'s firmness, the way water cuts through stone, your Sword Qi majestic. Your Water Tracing Sword Technique has broken through and reached a major mastery.]

[Water Tracing Sword Technique (major mastery): 1/150]

[Light Body Skill (major mastery): 1/150]

"Sword\'s firmness!"

A cool aura emanated from within Yang Ji as he rode the wind swiftly, his form transforming into a gust, twisting the Sword Qi into droplets, striking forth with his sword.

Whoosh!

A sword brake through the air.

Shick~

Suddenly, a crisp yet dull stabbing sound different from the previous clanging of metal rang out.

"This sound..." Yang Ji was surprised, hearing something amiss, he immediately looked over to see a striking spot of blood appear on the crab\'s belly.

Blood?

It\'s injured. Did my sword break its defense?

Hiss hiss!

A soft hissing sound came from the King Crab\'s mouth as the sword struck its belly, and [Pain] appeared above its head.

"It\'s really hurt." Yang Ji\'s pupils shrank, and he was inwardly shaken.

Not waiting for the King Crab to become angry, he quickly withdrew.

The King Crab quickly glanced at its abdomen. The wound was not obvious, and [Doubt] and [Did he just wound me?] appeared above its head.

Seeing its confusion, Yang Ji knew that the Sword Qi he had condensed like steel needles had penetrated its body, akin to a bee sting, producing a twinge of pain, yet not enough to kill.

But Yang Ji\'s heart surged with ecstasy – if the majorly mastered Water Tracing Sword Technique could injure it, could the perfect mastery of the technique possibly kill it?

To avoid making the King Crab wary of his power and fleeing after a successful strike,

Yang Ji immediately ceased, deciding not to use the sword\'s firmness anymore.

Not giving it time to react, he quickly resumed fighting, deliberately holding back and falling into a disadvantageous position.

Shaken by the stab, the King Crab harbored doubts for a moment, but seeing the tide of battle turning, it quickly forgot about that sword strike.

Man and crab clashed once more.

So it went, the days steadily passing by.

Yang Ji had been on Wild Heaven Island for over a month now.

It was on this day that the prompt he had been eagerly awaiting sounded again.

"Continuously using the Water Tracing Sword Technique, you comprehend the true essence of hardness and softness in harmony and the vastness of flowing water. Your Water Tracing Sword Technique has broken through, reaching completion."

"Continuously using the Light Body Skill, you grasp the ascent of the white crane in the wind. Your body forms a straight line, soaring like a crane into the sky, greatly increasing your speed. Your Light Body Skill has broken through, reaching completion."

"Water Tracing Sword Technique (Complete)"

"Light Body Skill (Complete)"

After a month of life-and-death battles, these two low-level techniques finally reached their completed state.

Yang Ji\'s expression brightened, and as he looked towards the King Crab, a glint flashed in his eyes.

"Hardness and softness in harmony, water flows in vastness. I wonder if the completed Water Tracing Sword Technique can pierce through this creature\'s copper armor in one strike."

Seeing Yang Ji suddenly stop, his gaze grew even colder.

The King Crab made a hissing sound near its mouth, unexpectedly feeling a surge of restlessness and unease.

At this moment, Yang Ji seemed to transform into a primeval savage beast, his stare so intense that it made the crab feel hairy. It suddenly had a premonition of danger and, in the next moment, began to scuttle away on its large legs.

"Thinking of escaping?" Yang Ji\'s eyes darkened. At this moment, how could he allow it to escape? Even at the expense of exhaustion, he was determined to kill it.

His form shot forward like a diving white crane, with his sword relentlessly slashing towards the target.

Spiritual power surged wildly within him, pouring into the Lingxiao Sword. Sword Qi burst forth, unleashing an unstoppable edge, and a sense of wild, raging rivers instantly enveloped the King Crab.

This strike carried the force of overturning seas and mountains, the sword light howling through the air at ultimate speed.

Thwack!

A sword thrust onto the back shell of the King Crab, penetrating completely without any obstruction.

Hiss hiss hiss!

The King Crab screamed in pain, its body shook violently, and with a forceful leap, it plunged with a splash into the sea, blood staining the waters.

"Thinking of escaping now? It\'s too late." Delighted by the power of his sword, Yang Ji hurriedly dived into the sea, pursuing his prey.

Hearing the splash, the King Crab glanced back, its body trembling, and its demon soul panicked with thoughts, "Damn it," "The human has grown stronger," "He\'s coming after me."

"Where do you think you\'re going?" Yang Ji, who had mastered the Ling Water Technique, moved unhindered in water, as if he were a fish, unfazed by the aquatic environment.

Seeing the King Crab desperately fleeing through the water ahead of him, Yang Ji, even from across the endless seas, raised his hand and sent a sword thrust that sliced through the water and slammed into the crab\'s back.

In an instant, the copper armor cracked, blood oozed, and the sea was once again dyed red.

Terror, despair, and the thought of fleeing back to its cave reflected in the eyes of the King Crab.

"Flee back to its cave?" Yang Ji\'s eyebrow raised, and he accelerated his pursuit. Fearing any unexpected developments, it would be best to kill it en route.

He raised his sword, unleashing several more sword Qi slashes.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The sword Qi tore through the water, relentlessly striking the King Crab, its copper armor continuously cracking, greatly weakening it.

"This guy, such a thick health bar; it\'s not dead yet?" Yang Ji couldn\'t help but feel astonished to see it using its eighteen thick legs to vigorously paddle through the water, showing no signs of impending death.

It seemed the sword Qi could not stop.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Countless sword Qi barraged towards it.

After pursuing for about two miles, the King Crab\'s body was densely covered with wounds and barely recognizable.

It was at this time that the death countdown of thirty breaths appeared above its head.

Just then, a range of reefs appeared ahead, stretching like a mountain range before it, with numerous cave entrances suggesting a complex network within, an unseen world of its own.

If the King Crab managed to slip inside, it would indeed be difficult to kill.

However, now with only twenty-five breaths left to live, even if it burrowed in, it couldn\'t go far.

Whoosh!

Yang Ji sped up, breaking through the water and following the King Crab into one of the caves.

The cave passage wasn\'t dark; the stone walls along the way were covered with inch-high glowing grass that cast a faint light inside.

Following the turns inside the passage, Yang Ji finally arrived at a cave brimming with water grass.

The King Crab turned back to glare at Yang Ji, then suddenly its eyelids drooped, and it breathed its last.

"This guy, giving me one final glare before dying." Yang Ji let out a slight smile, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

After a month, he had only hunted down two demonic beasts; now, he truly understood how challenging it was for cultivators to venture out on adventures.

Indeed, what\'s seen is not necessarily one\'s own. Had his techniques not advanced to completion, he would have struggled to defeat this King Crab.

But the ending was good.

Looking at the colossal body before him, he started to dissect it, with the copper armor, eighteen thick legs, the two large pincers, and the Demon Core being the four most valuable parts.

Yang Ji quickly processed them, placing the crab meat along with everything else into his Storage Bag.

With the King Crab\'s body no longer blocking the view, a faint red glow rose from the ground,

Yang Ji glanced down and discovered a fiery red stone where the King Crab had previously laid. The stone\'s surface was worn smooth, clearly [End of available text]
