A moment later, Lu Ye picked up the spoils of war and left, leaving behind two mutilated corpses.
Even a Fourth-Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator couldn't withstand three slashes from Lu Ye, let alone a Third-Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator. The fact that Lu Ye had taken the initiative meant that they were doomed to perish.
This time, Lu Ye paid special attention to his progress. Every time he killed someone, his merit points would increase by three points, and with two kills, his merit points had reached sixty-two!
At night, Lu Ye hid himself in a tunnel in the mountainside while Yi Yi and Da Hu monitored both ends of the tunnel to prevent others from sneaking in.
On this day, he fought three battles and gained a good harvest. He didn't take any of the spoils and used them to exchange with the people of the Celestial Sect of Wonders for Spirit Dans. He got more than twenty Spirit Dans, most of which were Yun Spirit Dans.
Compared to the spoils of war, Lu Ye felt that he had gained the most from the experience he had gained from fighting others. Although he had fought a few battles since entering the Spirit Stream Battlefield, there had always been a long time between those battles, unlike this time, where he had fought in a single day.
Such high-intensity battles not only allowed him to quickly examine his shortcomings, but also allowed him to enrich his fighting skills.
Cultivating behind closed doors was naturally not as good as fighting with real swords and spears. That was the experience he gained by exchanging blood and injuries.
He had suffered some injuries, but they weren't serious.
Lu Ye first ate some dried meat to alleviate his hunger, and when he was full, he began swallowing Spirit Pills to replenish his Spirit Qi.
He frequently used his Sharpness and Defence Spirit Tattoos in battle. Although these two Spirit Tattoos could play a role beyond Lu Ye's cultivation level, the drawbacks were obvious, and they consumed a lot of Spirit Qi.
If Lu Ye wanted to maintain his combat strength in the next operation, he would have to maintain sufficient Spirit Qi.
Now that he was a Third-Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator, the efficiency of refining pills had increased. Lu Ye didn't know how much it would cost to open another Spirit Aperture, but according to the previous pattern, the consumption would increase more and more in the future. However, his cultivation efficiency would also increase accordingly, so the time required to open another Spirit Aperture wouldn't increase too much.
The night was silent and the Heaven Splitting Gorge was silent. No one could hear the sounds of the battle between the Xuan Sect and the Jiuxing Sect. Everyone's cultivation was still low, so they all chose to rest and recuperate at night to replenish their energy. The real battle would only take place during the day.
At dawn, Lu Ye led Big Tiger and Yiyi out of the tunnel and began their hunting journey.
Over the next few days, Lu Ye spent his days in constant battle, ranging from one or two fights to three or four fights at most. The number of pills in his possession gradually increased, and his merit points also continued to rise.
He finally understood how merit points were calculated. Through his observation, the number of merit points represented the number of merit points a cultivator had killed had. This was the basic value.
For example, if he killed a Second Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator, he would be able to obtain two merit points, so the third layer would be three merit points …
However, if he were to kill enemies of a higher level, the merit points he would receive would increase by one.
Lu Ye was a Third-Order cultivator. If he killed a Third-Order cultivator, he would only receive three merit points, but if he killed a Fourth-Order cultivator, he would receive eight merit points.
Previously, he had killed a Fourth-Order master when he was just a Second-Order, a full two Minor Realms above him. That was twelve merit points …
After a little calculation, he found that it corresponded to the merit points he received from killing enemies. It seemed that this calculation method was correct.
After a few days of fighting, he slowly became familiar with the feeling of fighting to the death. Although his cultivation didn't increase, his combat skills had greatly improved, which increased his efficiency in killing enemies.
Over the past few days, Lu Ye also tried to see if he could leave the Heaven Splitting Gorge, but he found that it was impossible.
He didn't know how many people Xuan Sect and Jiu Xing Sect had invested in the Heaven Splitting Gorge, but according to his and Yi Yi's observations, both sides had invested over a thousand Spirit Stream Realm cultivators!
With over a thousand cultivators scattered in this huge maze, they could encounter enemies at any time. After passing through the maze, the terrain in front of them would suddenly converge and eventually converge into a path through the Heaven Splitting Gorge. If he wanted to leave, this was the only way out. Jiu Xing Sect had placed a large number of people at the exit of the gorge, so if he dared to show himself, he would definitely not have a good ending.
It would be better for him to hide in the maze and kill enemies.
After a few days of fighting, Lu Ye's whereabouts had been exposed. He could clearly feel that Jiu Xing Sect's search for him was increasing. The most obvious sign was that the number of cultivators he encountered had increased.
At first, he encountered small groups of three or four people, but now, each group had at least five or six people, and some even had more than a dozen.
Lu Ye could grit his teeth and deal with small groups of three or four people, but he didn't dare to attack small groups of five or six people. As for small groups of more than a dozen people, he avoided them as far as he could.
After the cultivators of Xuan Sect suffered a few losses, they made corresponding adjustments and increased the number of small groups to fight against Jiu Xing Sect.
In the gorge path maze, a battle was breaking out. The scale of this battle wasn't small, involving nearly twenty cultivators. Both sides had a dozen or so people, including a few Fourth Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivators. But judging from the results, neither side had the upper hand and both sides had suffered casualties.
In the midst of the battle, a tiger's roar rang out, causing the expressions of both sides to turn cold.
Someone shouted excitedly, "The Mountain Tiger is here!"
It was the cultivators of Xuan Sect.
Lu Ye, who was lying on the tiger's back and rushing towards the battlefield, frowned when he heard this. He didn't know how he got the title of Mountain Tiger, but it was too unpleasant to hear.
But considering that the two sides still didn't know his name, Lu Ye could only pinch his nose and accept this title.
Lu Ye came from the back of Xuan Sect's group. Hearing the tiger's roar, Xuan Sect's cultivators tacitly opened up a path for him. The tiger's figure leapt into the battlefield and directly tackled a Third Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator to the ground.
Lu Ye, who was lying on the tiger's back, had already rushed out. He unsheathed his long saber and slashed it towards a Fourth Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator.
This person was fighting a Fourth Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator from Xuan Sect. This guy had a baby face and looked harmless. Seeing Lu Ye's attack, he couldn't help but shout, "Don't steal my kill!"
He already had the upper hand. As long as he had enough time, he would be able to take down his opponent.
He couldn't be blamed for shouting like this. The main reason was that Mountain Tiger's name had spread among Xuan Sect's cultivators in recent days. It was said that every time this guy killed someone, he didn't take the spoils and only asked for some Spirit Pills. Another point was that this guy always appeared and disappeared mysteriously. He liked to steal kills.
Sometimes, when he did this, he could save Xuan Sect's disciples from trouble. Many people were grateful to him for saving their lives.
But sometimes, when it was clear that Xuan Sect's cultivators had the upper hand, he would appear and launch a sneak attack. In the end, he would snatch away the merit points that were already in their hands.
Xuan Sect's cultivators had a love-hate relationship with this person.
