After steaming the bear paw of the Bear Beast, Lu Ke cut it into 12 pieces so everyone could get a taste.

"Dinner’s ready, come and eat!" Lu Ke called out, and everyone immediately emerged from the tent.

The meat of a level 3 Fierce Beast was already enticing to them, let alone the meat from a Bear Beast’s paw. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Is this the honey-glazed bear paw?" Wang Jin looked at the large cut of bear paw in her bowl and found the meat inside was as tender as tofu.

She picked up a small piece and found the texture was very tender, easily breaking apart.

It was soft and sticky in the mouth, somewhat like pig brain, with a tofu-like texture, and a hint of custard.

"It’s so delicious, but there’s too little of it. I finished it in no time," Wang Jin said wistfully, almost licking her bowl clean.

The others shared the same sentiment as Wang Jin, wishing they could eat honey-glazed bear paw to their fill.

However, this was probably just wishful thinking. To eat their fill, they would need about 4 bear paws, which would mean 12 Bear Beasts. With that many Bear Beasts, they would likely be the ones eaten.

After eating the bear paw, everyone continued with a soup made from the meat of a Bear Beast and ate some of the Bear Beast meat.

After eating their fill, they chatted for a while and then resumed training.

Encountering the Bear Beast today made them realize how weak they still were. They needed to quickly advance to level 3 Mage, otherwise, they wouldn’t even be able to help at all.

After all, many of them were still at the level 2 Mage rank, so they wanted to seize this opportunity after eating so much Bear Beast meat to attempt a breakthrough, which might just succeed.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the first person broke through.

The person who broke through was Liu Li, which surprised Xu Yi a bit.

Even though Liu Li had indeed been working hard recently, so had everyone else.

Not even ten minutes later, Qin Yue and Wang Jin broke through one after another.

After that, everyone collectively made a breakthrough. Within five minutes, everyone else broke through as well.

The Bear Beast meat proved to be quite effective.

Otherwise, everyone wouldn’t have broken through all at once.

Now, everyone was at the level 3 Mage, which allowed Xu Yi to breathe a sigh of relief.

If they encountered a Fierce Beast like the Bear Beast again, they could all fight together.

The Red Lotus Flying Arrow could now be used sparingly; the spear would be more significant.

After all, the Red Lotus Flying Arrow was also quite challenging to kill a Fierce Beast directly. In that case, using a spear for close combat would be more beneficial in enhancing one’s strength.

After leveling up, Liu Li and the others didn’t stop but continued to train hard.

They might only relax once they complete the 500-day challenge.

The forest here was always relatively quiet.

Apart from the occasional chilly wind rustling through the trees, making a rustling noise, nothing else could be heard.

There were no insects in the forest, so you couldn’t hear any chirping sounds.

This kind of place was very suitable for sleeping.

However, Xu Yi hadn’t slept at all for a night.

Ever since he acquired the Spiritual Meditation Method, he hadn’t slept.

"System, clock in."

Before dawn, Xu Yi got up to clock in.

Today was the 153rd day of clocking in.

After clocking in, Xu Yi got up to train in the Body Refining Technique.

In less than ten minutes, Lu Ke also got up.

Today, Lu Ke learned all the moves of the Body Refining Technique and practiced them three times in succession.

After the three rounds, Lu Ke was drenched in sweat and rested for a while before coming out of the tent.

When she came out, Xu Yi had already been outside for more than an hour.

No one asked Lu Ke why she stayed in the tent. They had already packed up the tent, waiting for Lu Ke to come out so they could continue advancing southward.

When Lu Ke emerged, she said a bit embarrassed, "Sorry for making everyone wait."

"No problem, let’s set out," Xu Yi said, handing Lu Ke some dried meat, as washing up and brushing teeth could be done on the mount. In the wild, there was no need to be too particular.

Everyone continued training on their mounts, and compared to other teams, they had a significant advantage. For other teams, it was hard to focus on training while walking.

But sitting on the mount, they could train with peace of mind.

With Xu Yi leading, they didn’t have to worry about losing their way; the mounts would automatically follow Xu Yi without needing guidance.

While others hurried, they trained, and naturally, the gap widened.

This is the reason Li Kang and others initially needed to obtain Fierce Beasts.

Especially with only eight Fierce Beasts, they could ensure themselves and their confidants occupied a top position in the team.

Telekinesis relies less on talent. What counts is effort.

In the future, when humanity immigrates to Spirit Blue Star, those lazy species might be directly eliminated by nature.

Of course, no one can be blamed for this. If someone wishes to laze around to their death, no one can stop them. If they aren’t afraid of death, preferring laziness, what can you say?

Along the way, they didn’t encounter any Fierce Beasts.

After all, the deeper they went, the rarer the Fierce Beasts became, as their numbers would decrease, and their range of activity would increase.

Near evening, Xu Yi and the group arrived at the edge of a massive lake.

However, they didn’t dare to venture out of the forest.

Above the shore of the lake were a dozen Flying Beasts, which seemed quite large, with a wingspan estimated to be five or six meters.

Lu Ke, watching the Flying Fierce Beasts in the sky, worriedly asked Xu Yi, "Are those Flying Beasts level 3 Fierce Beasts?"

Xu Yi shook his head and said, "Hard to say; they’re too far away for my Spiritual Power to sense. Normally, they should be level 3 Fierce Beasts."

"It would be great if they really are level 3 Fierce Beasts. If we could tame them, we’d have flying mounts, and that would be awesome," Wang Jin said excitedly, looking at those Fierce Beasts.

She knew Xu Yi was planning something similar.

Otherwise, he would have led them around the lake by now instead of letting them set up camp.

Upon hearing Wang Jin’s words, Xu Yi couldn’t help but smile and said, "Indeed, flying mounts would be better and should be safer in the airspace."

After all this time, they had encountered lightning and that group of Fierce Beasts on the lake.

"There must be fish here; fishing must be quite enjoyable," Qin Fan commented, gazing at the glistening lake.

"There are fish; I can sense them, and they’re big ones," Xu Yi, who was almost half a fishing enthusiast before coming here, would occasionally go to fishing grounds to fish.

Wild fishing, however, he rarely participated in. Firstly, it’s inconvenient, and secondly, his skills are average, only good for going to fishing grounds to enjoy.

"I have a lure rod here; I can cast a few times and see if I can catch a few," Qin Fan said, glancing at Xu Yi. When he heard Xu Yi mention the big ones, he knew fishing was also Xu Yi’s hobby.

"Xu Yi, the Flying Fierce Beasts are coming; should we avoid them?" Lu Yao quickly interrupted Xu Yi and Qin Fan’s conversation when she saw the distant Flying Fierce Beasts seemingly notice them and were flying this way.
