The Atrocious Werewolf Prince

The one hour time was completed and another announcement was made. "The peacetime is over, you are free to fight, show us something interesting and your future will be bright"

Ezra paid no heed and clicked an imprint button on the compass and spoke. "Time has completed, don't come to me if you are too far, find other Bloodfang martial masters nearer to you and form a group, survival is the priority. Don't hesitate to use your special tier armaments, show the whole continent the worth of Bloodfang Kingdom"

The voice was heard by every single martial master via the compass, the compass was designed for tracking and voice messages.

At that time Ezra felt a strange feeling inside his consciousness. "Come out," he said and a pentagon portal was formed, out of which the Mad God Bear came out.

Just at that very moment, something came flying from the forest, something heavy.

It was a strange eagle, its whole body was made of twinkling diamonds. The feathers were akin to pearle, beautiful and shining, its eyes were like rubies.

It jerked its wings a bit, and a powerful force ripple pulsed from the wings as the shiny diamond like feathers at its tip began to expand and lengthen.

~SWIISSSH~

The eagle swung its wings as its feathers transformed into a long shiny whip that swept across the area.

~PHHRRIISSH~

The air was blasted away with a cackle as the long shiny whip swept past. After a full round, the towering ancient trees in the vicinity were cleanly cut at their waists, the interiors smooth as a mirror.

The feathers that made up the long whip shook again. In a split second, they had already dispersed, transforming into countless almost invisible thin feathers which came straight for Mad God Bear.

~CHHUCCCH~

Kavar jumped and the ground beneath was poked full of innumerable holes so deep that it was impossible to see the bottom.

The eagle's wings jerked and the countless shinning feathers shot back towards him, returning to the wings

"That's the Razor Pearl Eagle, a 2nd tier Martial Animal. They said they are endangered in the book." Mumbled the prince.

A fire seemed to burn within Ezra's eyes as they gleamed brightly.

At the same time, Mad God Bear, Kavar growled in anger. The Razor Pearl Eagle was awakened because of Kavar, his presence was a threat to its territory.

"In future fights, the flying martial animal like this eagle would surely make my opponents suffer," Ezra said to Kavar as he signalled. "Kill it."

Just when Kavar was about to retaliate, the Razor Pearl Eagle vanished into the thick forest.

Ezra sighed, he wanted to follow it but he decided not to. Instead, Mad God Titan furiously went after it.

Though it was a little disappointing that such a Martial Animal was missed, Ezra didn't spend too much thinking and muttered to himself, "I should hurry up and kill some martial masters, take their soul and martial spirit and strengthen myself such that my 5th level of Qi Brightening stage breakthrough to 6th level."

There was a great difference between levels and an insane difference between the Qi Brightening stage and the Core Formation stage. Bluntly put, the Qi Brightening stage was akin to laying one's foundations, while the Core Formation stage was where one was finally bestowed destructive powers.

Only at the Core Formation stage would the spiritual energy in the body be allowed to freely leave and display its true might.

Even though Ezra Zephyr was currently able to temporarily achieve a similar effect with the amazing Monstrous Wolf of Norse Fenrir as his Martial Spirit and Chaos called Black Lightning as Force, there was still a gap between this and the true Core Formation stage.

Of course, the most direct and observable difference could be seen when he was travelling. Even when Ezra was in a rush, he could only leap and sprint, unable to achieve the feat of temporary flight like abilities by using spiritual energy to support one's body.

Thus, reaching the Core Formation stage was the most important goal for the current Ezra, he entered the Spirity Bailiwick so now he can breakthrough to a higher stage, Spirity Bailiwick only allow Qi Brightening Stage experts to come in but one can breakthrough inside.

<Few Days Later>

In the following few days, Ezra and his group swept across the area like a hurricane. Every mountain he passed was nearly turned upside down as ferocious Beast after beast became victim to his assault.

As he hunted, killed and devoured souls, Ezra could feel the Chaos Force in his body strengthen day by day, growing more abundant and powerful.

However, there was one thing that baffled him; the feeling that he was going to break through to the next cultivation level still did not come to him.

In a deep barren valley, Corpses were scattered all over the ground, while Ezra and his group sat in the middle of the carnage.

It was indeed as it looked. Bloodfang Martial Masters had discovered this valley half a day prior, which contained over a hundred Monkey type beasts.

Although the individual battle power of each monkey was less than a 1st tier Martial Animal, their numbers made them an incomparably ferocious force.

For Prince Ezra and his group, it had been a very good exercise.

While the prince sat atop a boulder, strings of white mist came out from the dead bodies, turned into balls and poured into his body. It was the spell named Soul Absorption.

Ezra's eyes were closed as he concentrated on absorbing. After about an hour, he finally opened his eyes, but his brows involuntarily knitted together. The others quietly watched him.

There was still no indication of an imminent breakthrough.

"Why..." Ezra Zephyr mumbled, his eyes filled with confusion.

It was not that he had not seen a practitioner at the peak of the Qi Brightening stage, but the gathered power inside his body clearly already far surpassed the 5th level of ordinary Qi Brightening stage experts.

"Normally speaking, after the Spiritual Energy reaches a certain level, it will break out and dash towards the centre to form the core. With each level the qi will move toward the core more frequently until it breakthroughs into the Core Formation stage but why are there no signs of anything happening even after so long?" Ezra was perplexed.

He scratched the back of his head. "It is so troublesome without Fenrir," he thought. "Wait..."

"FENRIR, YOU SILLY MUTT!!" Ezra yelled inside his conscious.

"Boy, why are you behaving like a spoiled brat." Replied the wolf.

"You saw me struggling, but didn't care to tell me."

"Somethings are for you to understand, you are no normal martial master, you are a special type of martial animal. Devour your own kind, brainless kobold."

Ezra understood the words of Fenrir, he sighed before saying. "After mulling over it for a whole day, it turns out that I've been tricked by my own unique type of Force and Martial Spirit."

After realizing this, Ezra could not help but let out a bitter chuckle. It seems that he had to first fill his body with martial animals' souls or martial masters' souls.

Even so, Ezra was a little excited. Since his breakthrough method was different from others, wouldn't it mean that the outcome would also be pretty special?

As such, the subsequent few days of his schedule were packed with hunting and killing again but with different prey.

Time passed in this manner. Ezra grew more familiar with the Spirity Bailiwick, and began to meet several other martial masters of Bloodfang, their total number was 57 now.

Over this period of training, Ezra had begun to faintly feel that his force was finally about to reach its maximum capacity, he killed 2 weak cultivators in the meantime. Other than that he couldn't find any, the Spirity Bailiwick was humongous and Kavar couldn't find the Razor Pearl Eagle either.

"Not easy huh!" On a certain mountain, Ezra sighed as he shook his head. Any ordinary person would have long ascended to the 6th level of the Qi Brightening stage, while he was still stuck suffering at the 5th level of the Qi Brightening stage.

It was akin to pregnancy lasting ten months for others while he just had to be pregnant for three whole years.

He stood up, planning to cast himself back into the depths of the mountain. At this moment, however, he suddenly saw the numerous geniuses hunting in the vicinity abruptly begin heading down the mountain.

Ezra was a little bewildered. He moved to stop one of them and asked, "What's going on?"

The one who had been stopped revealed a look of impatience and was about to curse when he saw Ezra Zephyr.

~BOOOM~

However, Ezra calmly sent out a punch. Black Lightning berserked outwards, creating a space in the dense forests to their right.

The one who had been about to curse immediately swallowed his words, and resentfully answered, "I just heard the news that a certain Razor Pearl Eagle was discovered in the mountains three hundred miles from here...

This particular Martial Animal is rumoured to know a spell. Everyone in the area is currently heading there."

Upon hearing the first part, a dazzling radiance instantly exploded from Ezra's eyes. He had been searching for that Martial Animal recently but had been unable to find it till now.

He never imagined that he would finally encounter it today.

He sent a message to all of the Bloodfangs who were a little away hunting their own to gather.
