Chapter 131: Killing the Lion King
Initially, Luan thought of going to that island and investigating, but now, he knew that the possibility of risking his life was great, and he refrained from going there.
Returning home, Luan did not go to sleep, but took the Type 3 Metal and went to the workshop, taking along some materials that he would use to create a short sword.
In order to melt Type 3 Metal, Luan has to put the metal under fire at a temperature of 3150 to 3200o C. To reach this temperature in an easier way that did not damage the metal, Luan uses his Qi as a fuel.
In Luan\'s hand, there was the Monster Core. Holding firmly, he made Negative Qi turn into white flames. To do something like that was very difficult, mainly because he had not yet achieved the Second Order with Qi. However, he still managed to purify 10% of the Monster Core\'s impurity before running out of Qi.
Sitting on the floor, he pulled and recharged the Qi and once again went back to purifying the Monster Core. The next few hours he spent purifying the Monster Core until it glowed so brightly it didn\'t even seem to be the same thing at first.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Luan got up from the floor and took the Type 3 Metal. Putting it in the furnace that was already hot, he made the furnace get hotter with Qi and the Type 3 Metal started to melt.
Using mental power, he floated the molten metal and mixed it with his blood and the monster of the Second Order. In addition, he made runes in the air with blood and bonded them to the molten Type 3 Metal, and before molding, he made the purified Monster Core levitate and fuse with the metal. On the handle he used the monster bones of the Second Order, making a beautiful handle in the shape of six lines, and the blade he molded green, with red lines looking like veins. The sword was 70 cm. The scabbard he made with the leather of the Second Order monster.
Still, with the sword floating in the air, Luan created a series of runes and formations and infused them into the sword. With that done, the sword fell into his hand.
Holding the sword, a blue and slightly purple aura surrounded the sword. Luan as a blacksmith could tell the approximate power that sword held.m, and after a simple test, he was pleased to find that he was very close to the Third Order.
\'With this sword and my current power, even if I fight someone from the Third Order, I find it difficult for me to lose.\' Luan was a little moved. Going back to doing what he did before, it was a strange feeling. He hadn\'t felt that sensation in a long time. It was a feeling of crisis, but excitement at the same time. However, this time he had someone to protect and would not let them die.
After some tests and seeing that the sword obeyed all his commands, mainly because it was created with his blood, Luan smiled with satisfaction and kept it in its sheath. Keeping everything he used, Luan left the workshop and went to his room. He showered and changed, and then went to sleep for a while.

- March 27, 2010 - Saturday -
Today, Luan took the day off.? Luan and Ingrid stayed at home and would only do something if it was an emergency, but in general, the matters at work could still be dealt with by his mother, who held the position of President of the Headquarters of Dimas Corporation.
"Mom, this time I\'m going alone. You wait for me to come back." Luan was in front of the portal for the dimensional crack, saying goodbye to his mother and sisters.
"Okay son, be careful." Maira gave Luan a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Luan left the storage ring with Ingrid. Because of that, he placed large backpacks for himself inside a travel backpack.
After passing through the portal, Luan appeared in the dark and almost tree-free place near the portal\'s opening.
\'If I kill all the monsters that have evolved into the Second Order, I can let mom and the girls hunt here without having to be together with them.\' Luan knew that only then would they progress faster. As he was out of time, he could not always be with them to hunt monsters, but if they came alone, they could stay longer and also learn to fight without his help.
Of course, for that to happen, he first needed to eliminate all kinds of threats that could take their lives.
Luan used two magic stones to open this dimensional crack so he could stay a total of 24 hours inside before the portal closed.
Initially, Luan thought about going towards the mountain that had collapsed since he saw some monsters in the Second Order, but after thinking about it, he wanted to explore this place first. Before, he didn\'t have that much time since he always needed to be alert to take care of his family.
Running, Luan only stopped when he saw some rare plants and flowers, or some zombie or monster that was likely to have a Monster Core or Magic Stone. However, he only got a single Magic Stone for his efforts, which was still not bad in any way. Continuing to run, Luan covered almost the entire site and mapped the entire dimensional gap in his mind. Now he knew where the strong monsters were.
\'Let\'s clean up a little...\' Luan murmured to himself.
Luan held the new sword he created in one hand and the bone sword in the other and ran with his hands outstretched at a very fast speed. The style was very buoyant, and each blow was reminiscent of a white dragon descending from the sky and killing mere fragile animals. His arms were swinging at a variety of angles, and it was impossible to guess where he would be slashing or cutting next.
In his right hand, he held a red and green sword, and the style was very free and wide. Wherever he cut it, it was certain death. The strength of each swing brought with it the strength of a dragon.
The beat and rhythm of each sword skill were different and did not follow any exact pattern. Sometimes, it didn\'t even seem like he was the same person wielding two swords. He seemed to have two thinking minds as he attacked from several different angles, without giving a chance for retaliation. Even a monster that was close to the Second Order did not survive a sword stroke.
Both hands rolled and waved at a different beat and at a different pace, and it was hard to believe that anyone could use both hands so effectively.
Luan never fought like that in front of Maira, Ingrid, Cristina, and Catharina because he was afraid that they would try to imitate him and advance carelessly and end up dying. This was only possible to be done because he was him. They were still learning, and they didn\'t have near as much experience and practice.
Finding an isolated spot, Luan sat and meditated. Little by little his Qi increased. He continued to do this process while eating pills and purifying Monster Core and Magic Stones and swallowing until he reached a bottleneck.
\'Refining Qi Level 9. 50 times stronger than an ordinary man,\' Luan thought inside a cave, \'If I want to overcome this bottleneck, I need a tremendous amount of Qi and I will also need to undergo a transformation because of the technique...\'
To move to the Blood Refining stage, he needed to clean at least 10% of his bone marrow. Although he could do this with a pill, Luan wanted to do it naturally, since the effect would be greater thanks to the technique: <Negative White Dragon Transformation>.
\'The only thing I can do now is to reach the limit of the body too.\' Luan thought about the best alternative and knew he would have a better chance if he reached a bottleneck with his body too. Thus, he could have a better chance by forcing himself to reach the Second Order with his body and Qi at the same time.
Despite thinking about reaching the limit of the First Order with the body, it was not as easy as it was with Qi. He would need to fight strong monsters or people in order to force his body to the limit, and it was the same when training.
Since he reached the limit of his Qi, Luan killed some monsters and did not meditate using the dragon technique, but rather <Spiritual Divine Body>. Perhaps because he was close to reaching the Second Order, Luan\'s eyes flashed blue at certain times. It was as if a streak of blue lightning passed through his eyes.
"Did the Lion King of the Second Order go hunting alone?" While running, Luan saw the Lion King walking through the forest sneakily. Despite not knowing the reason for being alone, Luan approached.
Without giving a chance to notice his presence, Luan kicked the ground hard and in a very short time appeared in front of the Lion King, holding his two swords.
*ROOOARR!*
The Lion King roared and attacked decisively, but his speed, despite being fast, was easily overcome by Luan, who dodged the Lion King\'s front leg and also the mouth that tried to bite him. He then stuck the bone sword in the Lion King\'s right eye, and reaching the side of the Lion King, who roared in pain, he cut his neck with the green and red sword.
*Whoosh!*
The blood ran, but Luan didn\'t want to waste it and took out a hard plastic backpack that was strong enough not to tear so easily. Luan put the Lion King\'s blood in the bag and used Qi to stop the blood from seeping out. Hanging from a tree, Luan drained all of the Lion King\'s blood, but it didn\'t stay in the same place for long.
Moving away from that place with the Lion King on his shoulder, Luan dismantled the Lion King in a cave and removed all the meat, bones, and organs.
Creating a fire, Luan started roasting the meat of the Lion King.
"Now that my Qi has reached its limit, I can easily purify the poison from the monsters\' flesh. I\'ll take some for the girls," Luan murmured.
Monster meat should not be eaten carelessly. In order to be edible, it was necessary to remove all the toxic substances from the meat. Luan could not do this previously because it would have taken too long and needed a large reserve of Qi. This was especially true of a monster in the Second Order.
Despite having no seasoning, Luan was satisfied with the meat that was just roasted. It was tender and juicy and rich in Qi. His body was strengthened only by eating the flesh of the Lion King. Gradually, Luan noticed that he had increased his strength to 44 times stronger than an ordinary man with his body alone.
