Chapter 3 – Painstaking cultivation (2/2)

Having escaped serious injury from the teenager’s heavy kick, the fierce beast was now seriously pissed off. Planting all four legs on the ground firmly, it arched its body up high for elevation. The beast turned around and one can see the vibration from the six spikes on his back. The spikes were searching for their target and once it located where the teenager was standing…

“Click!” The teenager rapidly retreated. The next moment, the tree he was originally next to split into 2 with very neat cuts. We can see how dangerously sharp the beast’s spikes were.

The teenager was rapidly breathing. In order to beat this fierce beast, he definitely had to formulate a strategy.

Changing his method of fighting, the teenager went head-on instead of retreating.Copying the stance of the fierce beast, both parties clashed together in a heap. The teenager turned his head to the side, narrowly avoiding the beast’s attack with its rhino horns. The teenager then used both hands to grasp onto the 2 front paws of the beast. After several months of training, this teenager not only had a powerful body, both his hands and legs had become very powerful as well. The teenager was very confidant in his hand’s grasping power.

As the beast’s claws clashed together with the human hands, the beast had to push forward in order to be not pushed back. The beast attempted multiple times to use its fangs to bite the teenager, but the teenager was able to easily avoid them.

His lips slightly upturned in a smirk, the teenager’s reserved internal energy immediately burst forth in both arms. The fierce beast’s 2 front paws immediately had a numb feeling.

“Aaooo!”

A loud howl could be heard. The fierce beast forcefully retracted its claws from the grasp, then rolled backwards. The beast stood back up and one could see the trembling in those 2 front paws.

The teenager laughed out loud, “it seems quite powerful once reaching the Integration stage!”

The fierce beast was now completely enraged, it needed a few seconds to recover. After his 2 front paws recovered, the beast’s body became a blur sprinting to the side, it wanted to attack the side of this difficult to deal with teenager instead of facing him head on.

Standing motionless in place, the teenager warily watched the beast for any flaws. Once the beast reached him around the 1 meter distance, the beast suddenly pounced over. At this time, the teenager also reacted, squatting down to the ground, using the power of over 1000 jin in his legs, he jumped up and used his shoulder to ram into the fierce beast’s solar plexus area (between chest and abdominals).

A “crack” sound could be heard. The fierce beast roared in pain, a few of its lower ribs were broken.

When the teenager trained his internal energy and his external physique, he also inadvertently trained the power of his shoulders. That’s how those bundles of woods weighing over 100 jin were lifted up and carried over his back. Once one releases those powers in the shoulders and legs, its outcome was quite natural.

While the fierce beast was rolling on the ground, the teenager approached the beast and wanted to finish it off. Unknowingly, the beast’s tail resting on the ground caught the teenager by surprise and he wasn’t able to dodge. The tail wrapped around the teenager rendering him immobile. Taking advantage of this situation, the beast used his hind claws and randomly attacked the teenager. Even with a strong external body, the teenager was unable to resist this random fierce attack. The teenager sustained multiple scratches and cuts with blood dripping everywhere. In a surprise move, a spike from the back of the fierce beast fired “whoosh!” stabbing into the teenager’s thigh.

The piercing pain made the teenager’s power explode. Using both hands, he blocked the attacks of other incoming spikes. With the aid of his internal energy, he smashed at the spike protruding from his thigh. A “crack” sound could be heard, the spike broke apart and could be easily pulled out now. Holding a piece of the spike, the teenager aimed it at the eye of the beast and thrust forward. The aim was true and penetrated deep down, through the eye and straight into the brain. After a burst of struggle, the fierce beast gradually lost its life. The teenager then collapsed, lying on top of the fierce beast’s body while recuperating his own.

This teenager was indeed Lei Yu who had cultivated over year in this unknown paradise. And the fierce beast was his first encounter with something dangerous. This encounter proved that Lei Yu succeeded, he had the ability to protect himself in in the face of danger.

After recuperating, Lei Yu opened his eyes and stared up into the clear blue skies. Inside his brain, he was thinking: What should I do now? Remain here to cultivate? Or go to the city? Should I go back to the Lei family to prove himself to them, to show how strong he had become? At least beating up Lei Yun now is as simple as a side dish (T/N: as in “piece of cake”).

Lei Yu shook his head, no! I hate the Lei family’s narrow mindset, I hate everyone inside the Lei family! Standing up with a slap of his hands, Lei Yu decided that since his mother left him at an early age, he wanted to go look for her and figure out why she would drop him off and then leave him. Except… where would he start looking? Whatever, first he would return to the city and then figure something out.

Turning around and looking at the dead body of the fierce beast lying on the ground, Lei Yu realized the spikes on the fierce beast were extremely sharp.Using them as weapons would be a good choice. Lei Yu then pulled out the spike that had penetrated the beast’s eye. As he was pulling out the spike, Lei Yu happened to see a brief sparkle of light in the eye socket area.
