Chapter 46: Wolf Pack; Brushing Off Merit Points
"Are you looking for death!"
Provoked by a beast, Fang Yan rushed towards the silver-backed demon wolf opposite him and shouted.
That giant wolf had an exceptionally high spiritual intelligence, and it could naturally understand Fang Yan's angry shout. It was as if its fur had been blown up, with every single silver hair standing on end. The wolf let out a loud howl towards the sky, and then swiped its paw forward, creating a swirling airflow that formed into a wind blade that shot towards Fang Yan like lightning.
"Mountain collapse!"
Facing the countless wind blades' cutting, Fang Yan was coldly smiling, and the Collapse Mountain Fist was launched. A huge fist pushed out, and wherever it went, these wind blades were shattered one after another.
"No, my Bung San Fist has already reached the realm of a first-class master. If I continue to use it, there won't be any progress at all, just an increase in familiarity. I'd better focus on practicing Water Shadow Sword and Phantom Sword Technique." With one punch, Fang Yan shattered the silver-backed wolf's attack, abandoning his fist for his sword, swinging the top-grade spiritual soldier in his hand as he exchanged blows with the wind blade attacks that danced around him.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host's Swordsmanship has reached Supreme Level: Water Shadow Sword Proficiency +1000."
The wind blades were too dense, and the ten third-stage Silverback Wolves launched a wind blade attack together. Fang Yan's top-grade spiritual sword, Blood Blade, was pushed to its limits. After completing the Seven Water Shadow Sword styles, what surprised Fang Yan was that his proficiency had suddenly increased by 1,000 points. Accumulating 1 million proficiency points didn't seem like a difficult task anymore.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully killing an enemy and leveling up, earning 10 points of merit value."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully killing an enemy and leveling up, earning 10 merit points."
……
The cold system prompt tone kept ringing in Fang Yan's mind. Although this silver-backed wolf was fierce, the number of them was not large, and they didn't pose a great danger to Fang Yan at all.
Wolves are generally copper-headed, iron-backed and tofu-waisted. To beat a wolf, you need to hit its waist. With sword energy all over the place, every strike can hit the silver-backed demon wolf's waist, which makes Fang Yan's Water Shadow Sword proficiency rise rapidly. After one battle, his proficiency rose by 2,500 points directly.
"Ahhhroo!"
Ten silver-backed demon wolves, only one is still alive at this moment. It's not that the giant wolf is strong, but Fang Yan has intentionally let it be. This guy is too humanized and can even make a contemptuous and provocative expression. A wolf howl suddenly rang out, and this sturdy male wolf stood up on its hind legs, with blood-red eyes, as its companions died one by one. It continued to charge towards Fang Yan, letting out a roar that pierced the sky, revealing a tragic aura.
"This guy is probably summoning reinforcements, so let you live a little longer." The wolf's howl was different from the previous provocative shouts, revealing a tragic and heroic tone. Fang Yan knew that the silver-backed demon wolf was summoning reinforcements, and his attack slowed down, with a hint of playful teasing in his eyes.
A three-stage silver-backed demon wolf, not even worth Fang Yan's full strength. Anyway, it was to increase familiarity in actual combat. Suddenly, Fang Yan had an idea and wanted to see if he could increase his proficiency with the Phantom Sword Technique without urging his true energy. After all, each major boundary of this earthly sword technique requires a familiarity that is ten times that of human level.
Human-level top swordsmanship, Water Shadow Sword, requires 10 million proficiency to reach the realm of a generation master, while Earth-level swordsmanship requires 100 million proficiency. The mastery of proficiency is also extremely slow, with difficulty increasing by more than tenfold. In combat, Fang Yan mostly uses Water Shadow Sword and Collapsing Mountain Fist.
At this moment, Fang Yan's heart was somewhat apprehensive as he executed the Phantom Sword Technique. Without the boost of true energy, he relied on his mastery of sword skills to execute it, and Fang Yan's heart was somewhat uncertain.
"Hmm, this works too. Although the power is not as strong as the Water Shadow Sword, this Phantom Character has an effect on the Silver Back Wolf. Moreover, when shattering the opponent's Wind Blade attack, only some physical strength was consumed." The Phantom Sword Technique was deployed, and its effect was better than Fang Yan's expectations.
Every day, Fang Yan would practice the Phantom Sword Technique several times to increase his proficiency. After each practice session, which lasted anywhere from a short to a long time, he could cast it in actual combat without using true yuan, and the time it took was even shorter than before, saving about one-third of the time.
"Ding! Congratulations, host's Earth-level sword skill Phantom Sword proficiency +1."
"Ding! Congratulations, host's Earth-level sword skill Phantom Sword proficiency +10."
The cold system prompt tone kept ringing in Fang Yan's mind. Fang Yan found that when the Phantom Sword hit its target, the proficiency increased by 10 points at a time. If the enemy dodged his phantom sword shadow, the proficiency would only increase by 1 point.
"Ahhhroo!"
"Ahhhroo!"
……
The silver-backed wolf was accompanying Fang Yan to practice his sword, and in the blink of an eye, half a meal's worth of time had quietly passed. The nearby forest was filled with the sound of wolves howling in unison. Earlier, because Fang Yan was too engrossed, immersed in the joy of rapidly increasing his proficiency in the Shadow Sword Technique, he hadn't noticed the situation around him.
At this moment, hearing the deafening howl of wolves, he was suddenly startled and his eyes scanned around him. He found that in the nearby woods, there were everywhere those robust silver-backed demon wolves, with a number of no less than one or two hundred heads.
"Damn it, I almost got killed by this Silverback Wolf!" Looking at the Silverback Wolf covered in blood and without a single intact spot on its body, Fang Yan cursed as he stabbed his Blood Blade forward. In an instant, the heavily injured and dying Silverback Wolf fell into the pool of blood.
"Waaaah..."
The tragic death of the Silver-backed Wolf, Fang Yan's actions thoroughly enraged the wolf pack, and hundreds of Silver-backed Wolves let out a thunderous howl. Blade-like gusts of wind swept towards Fang Yan like a swarm of locusts, covering the sky and earth.
At this moment, the terror of the Silver-backed Demon Wolf was fully revealed. Hundreds to thousands of wind blades hacked in, many of which were extinguished by colliding with each other in mid-air, but the vast majority charged towards Fang Yan.
"Mountain collapse!"
The storm blade came, Fang Yan was exceptionally calm. He knew that at this moment, as long as he fled, the only thing waiting for him would be a dead end. If he stayed to break through, as long as he withstood this wave of attacks, the wolf pack would launch a general offensive. At that time, as long as he defeated one direction, he could escape from the encirclement. In this critical moment, the Bongshan Fist was stimulated to its extreme limit. One punch, and large pieces of storm blades were annihilated.
"Phantom Sword Art, kill for me."
Two fists are hard to defeat four hands, a good man can't withstand the crowd. Fang Yan's strength is supposed to be above these silver-backed wolf demons, but unfortunately, these wolf demons are too united, and they will not die for nothing. The number is also large, the collapse of the mountain fist is fierce, one punch can eliminate dozens of wind blades, but there are too many, after all, there are a few fish that fall into the net. At this moment, Fang Yan's back is a piece of bloody flesh. The strong smell of blood is even more stimulating the ferocity of the wolf pack. One by one, they rushed out from the forest and pounced on Fang Yan fiercely. Without the threat of wind blades, Fang Yan has performed the Shadow Sword to the extreme, starting to massacre the wolf pack.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully leveled up and killed an enemy, earning 10 merit points."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully killing an enemy and leveling up, earning 10 merit points."
"Ding! Congratulations, host's Earth-level sword skill Phantom Sword proficiency +10."
