The red eyed rhino using all the momentum from it’s charge , jumped and tackled fion in the air. It’s blazing horn collided with the dragon fist of Fion

“munch munch” sounds of bones breaking could be heard followed by a huge sounds of explosion

“ … bang bang bang ..”

There was a sudden blinding flash followed by an explosion with incredible loud noise, and a shockwave that blown away everything in it's path.

Both Fion and the red eyed rhino were blown backwards and crashed into a rock and a small ridge respectively. The impact was so powerful that it even caused a small earthquake around the vicinity of the area. The entire region was thrown into chaos as heaps and heaps of beasts escaped from the periphery of the explosion range.

The rock that fion smashed into, broke apart into pieces and he was buried under the smithereens.

“AAAAAAhhh , ***K , ***K, it hurts ….. hell …” Fion was screaming in pain. He gritted his teeth and finally came out of his way on to the surface under the pile of small rocks and debris.

What came out was not a human, at least he doesn’t look like one , his whole body was covered in blood, his right arm bones were completed fractured and his whole body was covered with bruises.

He spit out some of the blood inside his mouth and took 4 cell revital pills from the ring. He swallowed the pills and sat down on the ground.

“Ouch …. ” Even the simple action of sitting down caused his body to ache. After some seconds of meditation, his pain subsided a little and he increased his absorption of Qi one step at a time.

The battle which took place was on a level comparable to the late phase of the condensation realm experts, especially the last explosion which shook the forest can only be imitated by an expert at the late phase condensation realm expert executing a terrifying martial art. One has to note that be it humans or beasts, who were at that level can be considered as one of the top tier experts in the minrah kingdom. So, unless it would be a peak lorn beast which was much more powerful than this red eyed rhino, no other beasts would dare to enter the battle zone where fion was currently recovering.

Since fion was only at the outskirts of the forest, it is extremely unlikely that he would encounter one. Heck, even his encounter with the rhino can only be attuned to his bad luck as these beasts would only roam in the deeper areas of the mountains.

Complete silence enveloped the whole area for several minutes. There was no beasts nor any human presence around the vicinity except a teen who was sitting in a meditative posture. Milky layers of Yuan Qi covered him, his bruises were already healed and even the blood, which was lost due to bleeding was being generated by his bone marrows at an incredible rate. The only setback was his right arm was still disabled, though it was also healing at an extremely fast pace. Like fion earlier deducted, this was only possible due to the insane production of Yuan Qi produced by his bacteria to supply for the pills healing effects.

This rapid pace of healing can only be compared to the healing effects of the top tier heavenly pills of the Bartlen world.Even the Minrah kingdom don’t have a pill which can compete this healing power. These heavenly pills can only be found in much more developed continents and empires spread through out the world.

“crunch crunch” several minutes of pindrop silence was finally broken by the movement of a person. He stretched all of his muscles and exercised the Yu clan’s cultivation method. For fion, any cultivation method would be unnecessary since his bacteria were powerful enough such that if one compared the absorption and production of Yuan Qi of these bacteria with any cultivation method, it would simply be a disgrace. The reason he still exercised was because it can regulate the flow of Yuan Qi within his body much better than any regular exercises.

“Haaa , much better now … still, my right arm feels a bit sore ” Fion finally returned to his optimum state in a mere hour.

He concentrated his senses and found that the surroundings were devoid of any life. With a slight movement, he instantly appeared near the ridge where the rhino crashed. After clearing some of the rocks and boulders, he caught sight of the red eyed rhino’s fate.

“Hoho, i didn’t thought that my fist would be this powerful … my body was strengthened beyond my expectations ” Fion chuckled a bit

The red eyed rhino’s head was completely crushed with it’s skull broken into various bits. Other than this, there was no other severe injuries on it’s body. It’s only obvious that crashing into the ridge won’t cause any life threatening damage to it’s body, since it was so sturdy. The reason it’s head was completely crushed was because it’s skull was already shattered by Fion’s dragon fist.

He punctured a hole in it’s body and grabbed the nucleus of the beast. It was a small black coloured ball with dark red lines outlined along it’s surface. Fion was holding the ball of nuclei which barely fits inside his palm. He had mixed feelings regarding this nuclei.

“a lorn beast nuclei huh ! finally … i killed a top tier beast of Minrah kingdom No! now it’s not the top tier … the previous lorn beasts should have already mutated into higher level beasts ,but still, not many experts can kill a lorn beast of this level … hehe … now what can i do with this ..”

“since i am not at condensation realm, this nuclei would be useless to me but it should fetch a high price if sold ..Hmm … i don’t need any money for now … it’s even a fire type nuclei, which is uncommon to come by … Ahhhh .. i really can’t decide ”

Unlike vile beasts nuclei which was used for creating mitogenes, lorn beasts nuclei’s only usage was for making bacteria converting Yuan Qi into elemental Qi. In this red eyed rhino’s case , it can be used to convert Yuan Qi into fire elemental Qi.

Various ideas fiddled around in fion’s head and after some moments of deep thought, a sloppy idea finally came to his mind.

“Can i use this nuclei to generate mitogenes … NO! that’s absurdly stupid … but … but i can try at least once right ? Ahhh , now i really regret having no knowledge in alchemy ” Fion was trying hard to convince himself. It was because of his unwavering confidence in his bacteria. After all, these bacteria caused one miracle after another so much that it made a perpetual influence on fion’s heart. Hence, he once again placed all his hopes on his bacterial pool.

The reason behind fion’s regret was because when one starts to learn alchemy, he would naturally came to know about various chemical elements and it’s compositions. If fion knows alchemy, he can at least know when things are going wrong during the process and prevent any misfortunes.

After Fion made up his mind, he took out a bowl from his ring along with several red autumn pellets. Since he don’t know how much pills he would have to use for a lorn beasts nuclei, he took a handful of them and crushed them into a fine powder. Then, he crushed the nuclei and added a little amount of water. This mixture was a little different than a vile beast nuclei mixture as it had traces of dark red colour in it. When he sprinkled the powdered red autumn pills, a foul smell began to form and layers of gases could be seen evaporating from the mixture.

After several moments, the nucleolus paste was finally formed. He noticed that not much vapours rise out of the mixture after it’s reaction with red autumn pellets. It can only mean that not much bacteria were killed during the process and huge amount of bacteria were still present in the mixture. He still remembered the scene that his bacteria hunted the invading bacteria from vile beasts during the mitogene formation process. So, he placed all the hopes on his bacteria and readied himself to apply the paste.

“ … here goes nothing … “ fion with a steady resolve took the paste and smeared it over his body. Little by little, he smeared and after a few moments, he fully applied the paste to whole of his body. Surprisingly, even after several minutes after fion applied the paste, he didn’t notice any change in his body nor any movement from his bacteria

“It seems this time, i over expected a little …alas … i wasted a lorn beasts nuclei .. dammit … Damn ..” Fion yelled some words to overcome his depression. He even kicked and punched what ever he saw near him as he took out his anger on any poor thing he came across.

After several moments, he finally calmed down. He regulated his breathing and surveyed his surroundings.

“Well, let bygones be bygones, now i have to find another place where vile beasts would be numerous , but first i have to get out of this damn mountain range ” fion mumbled as frustration could still be found from his words

Fion jumped into the tree and climbed all his way upto the top. From there, he looked around to determine the right direction for getting out of this mountain range. Suddenly, his body begins to burn and a scorching sensation invaded him..

“ *** Mother of bacteria, what ….AAhhhhh . . . . happening to me ” Fion cried out in pain. He sat on one of the branches and gritted his teeth, withstanding the pain as much as possible.

Fion’s eyes suddenly widened as he noticed an unusual yet familiar phenomena happening inside his body.

“Finally, haha … these bacteria are really …. ” Fion laughed like a mad man. Even though the pain still continued, his mind was lost elsewhere as he became completely immune to it.
