Chapter 34 - Recovery of the Ninth Meta-pulse (1/2)

“Well, have you managed to remember the cultivation pathway of the Blood-burning Body cultivation method?”

Mu Feng asked with a smile at the end of his cultivation.

“Of course I have. That Blood-burning Body cultivation method is indeed amazing. Although it hurts a lot, I can clearly feel that I’m much stronger now after the cultivation.”

Mu Kuang gave an honest smile.

“No pain, no gain. As the saying goes, legendary swords can only be honed by the toughest circumstances. If we persevere in our cultivation, I believe that you and I will have great achievements in the future.”

Mu Feng said with a laugh.

“Yes, let’s go hunt for other Man Beasts. Haha, next time, when the academy is recruiting again, I’ll be sure to put up a show.”

“Haha, let’s go.”

Both of them laughed and continued to explore the forest.

Six days later in the forest.

Roar…!

A low roar rang out in the distance. A two meter long, gray-colored Forest Wolf that was as tall as an adult’s chest was spotted searching for food in the forest. This Forest Wolf was a level nine Man Beast with a powerful bite force that could easily crush human bones.

The Forest Wolf was sniffing in the forest for its prey when the smell of blood came from afar. The Forest Wolf immediately rushed over to the spot where the smell came from, only to see the thigh of a wild boar that was still dripping blood hanging from a tree that was more than four meters above ground level.

Roar…!

Why is the meat hanging from a tree? Even with its low IQ, it sensed that something strange was going on. However, the smell of the blood was too attractive, so it gave no further thoughts. The Forest Wolf jumped up four meters high and bit on the thigh, pulling it down.

Just as it was about to enjoy its food, there was a flash of white light. A muscular young man who was around 15 or 16 years old jumped down from the tree with a knife in his hand, prepared to strike.

The strike was as fast as lightning, but accurate like a skilled predator from the forest, and the wolf’s involuntary reflex wasn’t slow either. It immediately darted to the left to dodge the attack, but the tip of the knife still left a long cut on its back.

Awoo…!

The pain on its back cause it to be agitated. The Forest Wolf stared at the young man with its cold eyes and snarled at him with its sharp teeth. It let out a low roar, fell back a few steps, and prepared itself for battle.

The young man held a knife in his hand, bent his body slightly, and stared at the Forest Wolf with eyes that were full of determination.

Roar…!

The Forest Wolf attacked first by pouncing forward at a very fast speed with its powerful hind legs. It raised its claws and gave a powerful swipe at the young man that had inch-long hair.

With a twist of his leg, the young man dodged agilely. Just as the Forest Wolf brushed against his body, he swiftly made an upward cut.

Chakk!

The knife made another cut on the abdomen of the Forest Wolf.

The Forest Wolf landed on the ground, let out a soft whine and pounced on the young man once more.

Meanwhile, on a tree that was more than 10 meters high, sat another young man dressed in black robes with a knife slid over his shoulders. His sharp cheekbones portrayed a trace of determination, and there was a thin scar in between his eyebrows. He smiled slightly while observing the fight below him.

Mu Kuang’s knife-fighting techniques were much swifter and fiercer compared to the time when they first entered the forest. Mu Feng was delighted to see his progress.

Over a period of six days, he managed to reach the cultivation level of Tong Mai Eighth Sky and his ninth meta-pulse was still recovering. Mu Feng was confident that he would win the fight even if he encountered a Tong Mai Ninth Sky cultivator.

After suffering many injuries, the Forest Wolf was dripping with blood and its attack speed was much slower than before. When it pounced again, Mu Kuang ducked, charged forward, and stabbed it with his knife.
