Junior Leopard had managed to temper his excitement, as soon as he had got his kunai back he immediately began walking his way out of the jungle. He was overcome with joy when saw a herd of beasts drinking water along a stream. It was a golden opportunity for sure and he had no reason to let them off. Then, he threw his two kunai, injuring the legs of two buffalo that collapsed on the ground near the stream. They were alive but never to rise again.

The wildfowl and beasts were considered to be animals with the smartest spiritual mind. But while frightened by the murderous kunai, they had all fled in panic. Unfortunately, they were just common animals and were absolutely no match for Junior Leopard, even if some of them had rough skins or agile movements. In addition, Junior Leopard was filled with desire for the Three Realms Division and wanted to finish his task as early as possible so that h this special technique. He had no plans of wasting time here. As a result, he quickly launched the kunai once again and employed a flying body movement. After several rounds of this, a dozen beasts could be seen collapsed on the ground. These beasts were hamstrung like those two buffaloes, hurt but alive. Then Junior Leopard counted the number of the hurt animals after the others had all fled away. There were 16, among whom 15 were for Xue Wuya and one was for himself since he didn't have anything because of that little monster.

Bundling them together, Junior Leopard dragged them into the steep valley.

Nothing out of the ordinary had happened in the valley. Xue Wuya was sitting cross-legged, inhaling and exhaling with his eyes closed while a bloody mist boiled around him. Junior Leopard guessed that this was the critical point of his practice.

He dared not disturb him, laying the living animals down about 100 feets (nearly 33 meters) away from Xue Wuya and waited quietly.

An hour later, the bloody mist surrounding Xue Wuya suddenly shook, before beginning to fade and finally be absorbed into his nose in the form of two bloody stripes. At this moment, Xue Wuya opened his eyes. Seeing Junior Leopard, he signaled for the living animals and drank up all the blood of them from their slit throats, just the same as yesterday.

Xue Wuya's skin flashed a trace of red for a moment after he had absorbed the 15 living animals. In an instant, his skin became pale again.

”You're back!?” Xue Wuya waved at Junior Leopard and said, ”So early today... ”

”These beasts were gathered together drinking from a stream, they were easy targets. If I hadn't slept for such a long time today, I would have been much earlier!”

”You are very thoughtful!” Xue Wuya nodded, and it seemed that he was quite satisfied with Junior Leopard, ”Have you practiced the swordsmanship I taught you yesterday? And how do you feel?”

Junior Leopard was a little surprised to hear Xue Wuya ask this question, he had never believed that Xue Wuya was serious about teaching him martial arts, he had been busy struggling with the little monster since he woke up this morning. This resulted in very little time to think of the movement Xue Wuya had taught yesterday.

”I, I haven't... yet.”
