The Demon Beast naturally had valuable items, with the most important being the Demon Core.
However, a Level 1 Demon Beast's Demon Core was considered subpar, with its value on the market comparable to one or two regular Spirit Stones.
Instead, special parts from a Level 1 Demon Beast were often more valuable.
Once a Demon Beast reached Level 2, the price of its Demon Core skyrocketed.
In the previous world, after Xu Yi hunted the Demon Scorpion, he chose to keep the Demon Scorpion Tail because, in the Monk Large City, the tail was worth more than the Demon Core.
But this wolf-shaped Demon Beast didn't have any particularly high-value organs.
Or rather, even if it did, Xu Yi wouldn't have been able to recognize them.
So, he decisively split open the Demon Beast's head and found a Demon Core.
Discovered a Level 1 Demon Core.
System Rewards (Optional):
1.100 Level 1 Demon Cores.
2.1 Level 2 Demon Core.
Without hesitation, Xu Yi chose the Level 2 Demon Core. If sold at the Federation's prices, a Level 2 Demon Core typically went for around 100 standard Spirit Stones.
However, a Level 1 Demon Core could only fetch about 2 standard Spirit Stones, which was still a decent deal.
Xu Yi didn't need to think much before making his choice.
In an instant, his eyes sparkled. Now he understood the true meaning of battle—this was exhilarating.
He took large strides, moving swiftly through the island.
Though eager for more combat, Xu Yi didn't want to recklessly throw his life away. So, while walking, he kept his Advanced Invisibility Technique active.
Half a day later, Xu Yi found another trace of a Demon Beast.
However, after a brief assessment, he immediately turned and left.
From the markings left behind by this Demon Beast, it seemed to be a Level 2 Demon Beast, which was roughly equivalent to a human Foundation Establishment Monk.
Even if Xu Yi was confident, he had no intention of challenging something beyond his level.
After two days of wandering the deserted island, Xu Yi finally found a suitable opponent: a Level 1 high-tier Demon Beast.
If it had been a low-tier or mid-tier Level 1 Demon Beast, Xu Yi wouldn't have hesitated to fight head-on. But against a high-tier, he became cautious.
Once again, he pushed his Advanced Invisibility Technique to its limits, approaching carefully before launching a surprise attack.
"Boom..."
The Golden Wolf Claw struck the Demon Beast, knocking it unconscious.
Xu Yi rushed forward without hesitation, slamming his palm into the Demon Beast's head.
The Demon Beast let out a loud hiss, its numerous long limbs beginning to stir as it transformed into a flurry of sharp, pungent wind rushing toward Xu Yi.
Its body was long and thin, and with a slight wriggle, it could wrap itself around a person.
But Xu Yi was prepared. He immediately activated the Cloud-Piercing Boots and swiftly dodged.
This time, Xu Yi performed far better than in the previous battle. He was more decisive and brutal in his attacks, showing no hesitation whatsoever.
At the same time, his ability to seize battle opportunities had improved significantly, a skill only honed through actual combat.
After a brief skirmish, Xu Yi charged toward the Demon Beast.
The centipede-like Demon Beast stood up, its long limbs reaching out from various angles, attempting to trap Xu Yi in its grasp.
In that instant, Xu Yi's surroundings were suddenly surrounded by several shields.
"Clang, clang..."
The Demon Beast's long limbs struck the shields, but Xu Yi took no damage.
At that moment, Xu Yi had already closed the distance. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed the Giant Spirit Palm to its maximum potential. The Ruyi Gloves expanded more than twice their original size.
In the heat of battle, Xu Yi's focus and spiritual power surged, inadvertently enhancing the power of his Giant Spirit Palm.
"Boom..."
The palm slammed into the Demon Beast's soft underbelly.
The tremendous force sent the ten-meter-long centipede Demon Beast flying.
On the ground, the creature began twitching, desperately trying to flee.
Xu Yi, however, was not going to let it escape. He moved swiftly, now in front and behind, always blocking the creature's escape route.
With the protection of the Hovering Spirit Shields, Xu Yi continued his assault, each Giant Spirit Palm preventing the Demon Beast from escaping.
After several strikes, the Demon Beast's movements slowed to a crawl before it finally ceased to move.
Confirming that it was dead, Xu Yi let out a long breath, drenched in sweat and exhausted.
Despite his commanding presence during the battle, managing three advanced Magical Artifacts had drained him far more than he anticipated.
Fortunately, the fight ended in about twenty minutes. If it had gone any longer, Xu Yi wasn't sure he could have continued.
Reflecting on the fight, Xu Yi was quite satisfied with his performance.
He stepped forward, retrieved the Demon Core, and carved some meat from the Demon Beast to roast.
