My Beasts Grind Proficiency For Me

BOOM!

A Unicorn Giant Whale, over a hundred feet long, leaped into the air. The sharp horn on its head flashed with a dazzling electric light as it charged directly at the reef’s Defensive Water Shield.

The Defensive Water Shield, which had withstood the attacks of countless Demons, flickered with Spiritual Light before the whale’s horn pierced straight through it.

Several sharp beams of Spiritual Light shot out from within the shield, carving wounds into the Unicorn Giant Whale’s massive body, but it was too late. The severely damaged Defensive Water Shield was smashed into a spray of water by the whale’s immense weight.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators inside the Magic Array hastily flew their Magical Artifacts to escape.

The Qi Cultivators could only watch in despair as the tidal wave created by the whale swept them into the sea. A swarm of Demons pounced, devouring them and leaving behind patches of crimson in the water.

Under the tide-like assault of the Demons, the outer reefs were breached one by one, with only two still barely holding on. The Spirit Clam farm to the rear was completely besieged by Demons.

However, the Spirit Clam farm was protected by a Tier Three Array that the Three Friends of Dawn had spent a fortune to set up. It was barely holding on under the Demons’ siege.

The Grand Array’s Spiritual Mechanism pulsed, resisting the Demons’ various Magic and physical assaults and creating earth-shattering tremors. The Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had escaped didn’t dare approach the Grand Array. If they were caught in the vortex of Spiritual Mechanism and Demon Qi, they would be annihilated in an instant.

They flew toward Dawn Island, only to be intercepted by Demon Birds. A fierce battle erupted in the sky, and blood rained down.

In the end, only two or three panicked Tunneling Lights managed to land on Dawn Island.

The reef where Yinjiao and Iron Head were stationed was still holding out, but its defensive Water Shield was much thinner than before. Foul Demon Qi surrounded the reef, completely obscuring their vision.

The hearts of the Qi Cultivators within the Array were already in turmoil. Facing the Demons outside, they could only release their Magic mechanically.

If not for Iron Head and Yinjiao serving as their unshakable anchors, they would have long since lost the courage to resist.

A sharp glint flashed in Iron Head’s eyes as he pushed his Grotto Dark Dharma Eye to its limit. He could see a giant Sea Serpent lurking underwater, using the chaotic Demon Qi to conceal its form as it prepared to launch a surprise attack on the reef.

"Junior Brother!"

The two had been partners for many years and shared a deep rapport.

Yinjiao formed a Sword Mantra with his hands. Sword Intent shot into the sky, gathering the Water Qi of heaven and earth—even the foul Demon Qi was no exception. Under the guidance of the Sword Intent, this chaotic mixture of Spiritual Qi and Demon Qi transformed into a terrifyingly powerful Water Dragon Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi shot out from the Array, carving a bloody path through the dense horde of Demons.

The Demons crowded outside the Array suddenly fell silent, then split into two halves in unison. Blood gushed like fountains.

One giant turtle had an incredibly tenacious Life Force. Even after being cleaved vertically in two, it was still barely alive, letting out a horrific, piercing shriek.

Iron Head leaped out of the Array, gripping his spear with both hands and thrusting downward.

A spear light shot out, plunging straight into the sea. The next moment, the already churning water exploded. A mottled serpent tail, as thick as a water vat, whipped out from the depths, smashing all Demons in its path to a pulp.

Then, a vicious serpent head rose from the water. The Scales on the giant serpent’s head were far tougher than the rest, covered in sharp barbs. Now, these Scales, comparable to a Defensive Spiritual Artifact, had been blasted open, leaving a huge gash.

The spear light had easily pierced its skull, scrambling its brains into mush.

Though the Sea Serpent was dead, its body still thrashed and coiled instinctively in the sea, and its potent, toxic Demon Qi rapidly spread through the water.

Iron Head stepped several times on the empty air, leaping back into the Array just before the Demons could close in.

Although the assault from the sea Demons was ferocious, the Array and the Qi Cultivators helped distribute the pressure. As long as no Golden Core Demon King appeared, Iron Head was completely confident that, with his junior brother’s cooperation, he could defend the reef.

「Several days later.」

The Grand Array was in ruins. The giant nets used to farm the Spirit Clams were riddled with holes of all sizes. Countless Spirit Clams had either been devoured by the sea Demons or had escaped during the chaos.

The remaining Spirit Clams, traumatized by the event, died off in droves.

Foul Demon Qi and Demon Blood had polluted the ocean. Everywhere, Demon corpses were rotting, and the stench was overwhelming.

Looking down from the sky, countless Independent Cultivators were boating on the sea, ignoring the encroaching Demon Qi as they salvaged Demon corpses from the water. These corpses would be taken to the island to be dismantled.

Many of the sea Demons carried strange poisons that had spread throughout the water. The slightest carelessness could lead to a fatal poisoning.

The Three Friends of Dawn sat around on the deck of a Flying Boat, their expressions grim. The Demon corpses had been soaking in the poisoned seawater for too long, and their value had plummeted.

Compared to the losses caused by the demon tide, this harvest was but a drop in the ocean.

Moreover, while resisting the demon tide, Master Bizhu of the Three Friends of Dawn had been ambushed by a Golden Core Demon. Although he had luckily held on until the other two arrived, he was still seriously injured. Even now, his face was utterly devoid of color.

He should have immediately entered seclusion to recuperate, but to deal with a potential new wave of Demons, he could only force his injured body to endure.

"The fees this time... are going to be difficult to pay."

Master Molan, the one with the highest Cultivation among the Three Friends of Dawn, spoke with a detached expression.

"Too many Spirit Clams were lost. Even for the ones we salvaged, it will take years for them to recover from the shock and be able to produce pearls again. The clam beds have also been polluted. Purging the Demon Qi and clearing out the residual poison will be extremely laborious and expensive in terms of Spirit Stones."

Even if the Three Friends of Dawn used up their entire private stash of Spirit Stones, it wouldn’t be enough. They would inevitably have to sell off Magical Treasures and Elixirs.

"It seems we have no choice but to go back to our old trade."

A vicious glint flashed in the eyes of Master Bizhu, one of the three.

The fact that the three of them were able to join the Thousand Islands Alliance as Independent Cultivators and even achieve the Golden Core realm meant they naturally had their secrets. A hundred years ago, they were part of the Seven Fiends, a group that struck terror into the hearts of everyone in the Outer Islands.

But after gaining status within the Thousand Islands Alliance, the Three Friends of Dawn had planned to wash their hands of their past and focus on Core Formation. However, the seven of them had committed countless major crimes together and knew each other’s secrets inside and out.

The moment the three were about to make a move against them, the other four had fled, their whereabouts unknown.

Now that money was tight, Master Bizhu once again had the idea of returning to his old profession.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Master Xuan Song’s face. The amount of Spirit Stones they lacked wasn’t small. Robbing a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators wouldn’t even begin to cover it.

"Won’t that cause too much of a stir? What if it raises suspicion within the Alliance?"

He had already established a family on Dawn Island. If his identity as a Tribulation Cultivator was exposed, everything he had built would turn to smoke.

"Third Brother, what are you afraid of? Weren’t you perfectly at ease when you were scamming those Independent Cultivators before?"

Master Molan’s tone was flat, but his words sent a shiver down Master Xuan Song’s spine. He had kept his actions hidden from his two elder brothers.

"Our Grand Array on Dawn Island was heavily damaged in this demon tide. The Arrays on other islands are bound to be in even worse shape. This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!"
