Somewhere in Xiou, in this lush forest, a cat was lying on the trunk of a giant tree, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep. A large amount of life breath lingered around it, and it was reluctant to leave for a long time.

Under the tree, a giant tiger and a black dragon were quietly accompanying each other, as if they were afraid of disturbing the tranquility here.

As time passed, the vitality brought by the origin of wood in the forest was shrinking like a tide, and finally gathered around the giant tree and was absorbed by the cat.

At some point, the black dragon under the tree disappeared.

"Boss!"

Seeing that the magic cat was still refining the essence, the Black Dragon King came to Xia Fan and said in a low voice, "I have already inquired about it. The most powerful person in the Xiou area is only a fifth or sixth level human. There is no powerful beast at all."

"Although they know that you are here, no one dares to disturb you!"

At this point, the Black Dragon King was somewhat emotional, "The changes on Xiou's side are really not that obvious. It's still as lifeless as before."

"It's a good thing I followed you, the king, otherwise... I might not have reached my current height."

"Don't worry, you are far from reaching your limit."

hum-

Even as they were talking, an extremely powerful aura exploded from the magic cat's body. This aura simply swept across the ground, causing many flowers, plants, and trees to grow more vigorously.

Under her feet, the giant tree, which had become withered due to the loss of its wood essence, regained its vitality at this moment.

Xia Fan and the Black Dragon King felt an indescribable feeling of comfort sweeping over their bodies!

"Brother Tiger, I succeeded!"

Soon after, the magic cat jumped down, ran to Xia Fan and said excitedly, "It turns out that there will be such a big change after entering the eighth level!"

"No wonder every eighth-level expert is much stronger than the seventh-level one."

"Okay, okay, your words are enough!"

Xia Fan was very happy about this.

He knew that the magic cat had completely refined the essence of wood two or three days ago, and had been continuously devouring crystal cores in the past two days, taking this opportunity to make a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

Therefore, he thought it would take a few days, but it was a pleasant surprise that it could be completed now.

"Brother Tiger, let me try to merge with you first. Anyway... I can't tell you what specific changes will occur after the breakthrough. I can only let you feel it yourself."

"Row!"

As a flash of light passed by, the magic cat disappeared, and the aura around Xia Fan was rising rapidly, which made the Black Dragon King on the side widen his eyes, "Great... King, is this true?"

"The magic cat's boost to you is so great?"

You know, Xia Fan himself is in the middle stage of the eighth level, but now the Black Dragon King discovered that with the blessing of the magic cat, he has directly reached the peak of the eighth level!
This terrifying improvement is truly amazing!

Rumbling--

Xia Fan said nothing, but casually threw out a bolt of lightning. Seeing that the lightning easily smashed the trees not far away and damaged the ground, he immediately showed an extremely satisfied smile, "Not bad, not bad, cat, after your breakthrough, the increase in my power is indeed huge, it can be said to be visible to the naked eye!"

"This way, if I encounter a being like the Shadow Demon King again, I won't let him get away!"

In fact, Xia Fan had always felt sorry for the Shadow Demon Emperor's escape. Before, it was because of his lack of strength. Now that he has reached the middle eighth level, with the powerful help of the magic cat, he is fully confident that he can capture him!
"My king, I'm leaving for a while." At this time, the Black Dragon King seemed to have received some news. After apologizing to Xia Fan, he left in a hurry.

It was more than three hours later when he came back.

The Black Dragon King hesitated for a moment, but still came to Xia Fan and said seriously, "My king, when the humans and beasts on Xiou's side learned that you were here, they were all terrified, so they sent people to bring you a lot of resources."

"My lord, are you going to accept these things...or not?"

"Yes, why not?"

Although Xia Fan knew that there were basically no spiritual fruits and other items belonging to the family master in the Xiou area, this was someone else's kindness, so how could he refuse?

So, the Black Dragon King directly moved a small hill, which contained various exotic fruits that could enhance strength, or some better weapons, but these were of no use to Xia Fan now.

After some careful selection, Xia Fan simply threw all these things to the Black Dragon King and said, "Don't bother me with these things anymore. Just deal with them yourself."

"Tell them that I am not here to start a war. Tell them not to panic."

"Soon, the king will leave."

"it is good!"

After the Black Dragon King left, the Magic Cat's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Brother Tiger, I just suddenly thought of a very obvious change after breaking through to the eighth level this time. It seems that it can play a big role in future battles."

"How about I show you now?"

"Okay!"

As Xia Fan finished speaking, a strange spatial fluctuation suddenly erupted around the magic cat. The Black Dragon King, who had just flown out, seemed to be out of control and fell backwards. He screamed and cursed, "Who is blocking the way?"

boom! boom! boom!
After the pain on the Black Dragon King's forehead subsided a little, he saw that there was no one around and no obstacles, so he took off again, but this time he still hit a transparent barrier.

In his heart, he didn't think that this was done by Xia Fan and the magic cat, so he kept trying to leave.

But even though he kept changing directions and hit the wall more than ten times, he still failed to leave successfully. At this time, he couldn't go back to Xia Fan to report the situation, which made him feel panicked.

"Brother Tiger, how is it?"

At this time, the magic cat looked at Xia Fan with pride, "I found that since my breakthrough, my use of spatial ability has become stronger. Now I can even block off a space and prevent people from leaving."

"Xiao Hei, this fool, still thinks that some other strong person is deliberately making things difficult for him!"

"Not bad!"

Xia Fan looked at the Black Dragon King jumping up and down in the sky with a look of fear on his face, and smiled, "With this ability to block space, if he encounters the Shadow Demon King again next time, he may not be able to escape as easily as last time."

"Kitty, you really are my good friend!"

"whee……"

The two of them watched as the Black Dragon King became more and more panicked, even to the point of having several large bags on his head, and they were delighted.

It was not until the Black Dragon King was about to come back for help that he said to the magic cat, "Okay, lift the space blockade, otherwise Xiao Hei will be scared!" (End of this chapter)
