Austin's strength was in the medium stage of Mysterious Realm, as compared to his peers he was far beyond the expected stage of his realm, coupled with the vital energy stone in his elixir field, he hardly needed to worry about the depletion of his vital energy. Austin believed that with his current level of skills set even if he was pitted and had to fight against hundreds of level six fire beasts in the battle, he could probably not win, however, he would probably still hold them off for a pretty long time before losing life soon with the strength that he possessed.
The life-and-death kind of battle was actually the best trial for a cultivator to make improvements in their fighting skills. If Austin fought with hundreds of level six fire beasts, he was assured of laying a solid foundation for further improvement of his practical combat abilities, practical combat experience and future cultivation.
If it had been years ago, Austin would have chosen a less taxing battle in which he was guaranteed an easy win.
But in the battle he was currently involved in, Austin had a hard time suppressing the surging and tumbling fighting spirit in his chest, since it was now almost second nature for him to fight with all his might. He had to restrain himself since the main purpose of his visit to the Fire Valley was for the Scorching Evil Fire. If he continued to consume too much mental energy here, he would not be in his optimum and this would inadvertently affect the collection and refining of the Scorching Evil Fire.
Although the Scorching Evil Fire had been tamed and controlled by Angus, and Angus had also taught him the method of collecting and refining the fire in detail, maintaining his mental and physical state at the peak was still priority for him to be alert and precise when collecting and refining the Scorching Evil Fire.
After a brief struggle, the fighting spirit in Austin's eyes finally faded away.
"Ha-ha, next, I'll try Angus's method, and see whether there is any effect."
Setting his mind in motion, Austin communicated with the aura of Angus's soul which had been put into his Soul Sea by Angus.
Suddenly, Austin felt a slight tremor from the aura of Angus's soul, and then a soft milky white light ring slowly spread out from his Soul Sea, and soon formed a circle of milky white light curtain which was seemingly quite weak around Austin's body.
In the light curtain, there were bursts of diverse strains of aura that were different from Austin's usual aura, which he identified as Angus's aura.
After the formation of the milky white curtain, the fire beasts which had been earlier roaring, cracking their teeth and mouths hysterically and preparing to attack Austin suddenly calmed down. They seemed slightly confused, and it was reflected in their sudden erratic movements and wondering eyes. Gradually, the fiendish ferocity on their faces faded away.
"It seems that it's quite effective." Concluded Austin.
Looking at the fire beasts which were beginning to calm down and become quiet, Austin's nerves relaxed after confirming his theory.
At the same time, after the milky white light curtain covered Austin's body, the hot air waves, which were generated from the continuous burning flames in the surrounding environment, also mysteriously missed Austin's body and instead the temperature around his body was normal.
Austin then gingerly tried to walk slowly forward.
The milky white light curtain covering his whole body also seemed to be mimicking his movements; it kept up with him moving in the same direction seemingly keeping his safety all the way.
Hundreds of level six fire beasts that had earlier threatened to extinguish his life if he made a wrong move were now automatically separated into two groups right in the middle and allowed Austin to pass through the corridor. In the pupils of the beast, some tame emotions appeared gradually.
This magical scene amazed Austin, and he couldn't help admiring the changes. His nerves were also completely relaxed at this moment.
Originally, according to Angus, the fire beasts in the Fire Valley were born by the Scorching Evil Fire deep within the Fire Valley, because it had absorbed the energy of heaven and earth for many years, it had miraculously transformed and manifested itself in the form of the fire beasts with the energy nourishing them slowly.
However, the Scorching Evil Fire was the fire that Angus had once refined. Despite not excluding Angus's aura it also had the tendency to adapt to the new master's aura and mingle with its previous master's aura as a form of recognition of their new master.
The fire beasts, which were transformed by the Scorching Evil Fire, naturally had a sense of familiarity with Angus's aura. That is why, after the aura of Angus's soul appeared, all the fire beasts stopped attacking.
Since the method that Angus had taught him was proving effective, Austin did not stop, but sped up and rushed towards the depths of the Fire Valley.
When he was more than 3, 000 meters deep into the Fire Valley, Austin discovered a number of level seven fire beasts prowling in groups.
The level seven fire beast's strength could only be compared to a human cultivator who is at the medium stage of Mysterious Realm or even the premium stage of Mysterious Realm.
Nevertheless, after smelling Angus's aura from the milky white light curtain around Austin's body, just like what happened to the other fire beasts, their ferocity soon turned into confusion, and then into obedience. The fire beasts all got out of his way and stood aside in a single file as if bowing to him to let Austin pass through.
Even though, Austin was aware of the power he was wielding, looking at the level seven fire beasts standing on a single file by the passage, each of them was exuding a dense and strong pressure within their own space and Austin could not help but feel nervous.
