Chapter 006: Tōshi vs Wild Wolf
Chapter 006
The next day...
Kaixin still didn't go to the Zizhulin, but after running the Quanzhen Heart Method for three weeks, he left Gusu City and came to Hanshan Temple in the western suburbs.
The area outside the city is not safe, but usually as long as you're not too far from the city, you won't encounter bandits or robbers. Bandits have their own hierarchy and intelligence, if they were to encounter someone with rough martial arts skills, they'd get themselves killed, what a loss! Happily arriving at the temple below, I familiarly enter the forest.
"What does he want to do?"
"Don't ask so many questions, just follow and you'll see."
People from the Murong family are not to be underestimated, and they have already attracted the attention of some people with ulterior motives along the way. Those who were hanging back in the distance also swarmed into the forest.
But they were soon driven out...
The woods below the Temple of Cold Mountain have always been infested with wild beasts, and it's common for them to rush in and attract one or two packs of wolves. Before reaching the border, new players can hardly escape from their clutches unless they have rich experience in dealing with wild beasts or are in a large enough group.
Joyfully unaware that his unintentional actions had added a few lost souls to the city of Gusu... Relying on his skill of throwing stones to ask for directions, he carefully entered the forest and fixed his eyes on a lone wolf.
Adult wolves are the masters outside the Hanshan Temple, usually wandering in the forest, looking for prey, and their combat power is not much inferior to that of a novice martial artist who comes and goes freely.
The goal of this trip is just that.
In "Jianghu", the realistic existence of beasts is even more real than those NPCs, because wild wolves are easier to analyze and understand, their instincts are simpler and far inferior to humans. The wild wolves in the game are just like the cruel and ferocious wolves in the outside world, fierce carnivores.
I'm glad I came here, just in time to pick a wild wolf as an opponent for actual combat and practice, to improve and upgrade the level of Shaolin Changquan - cultivation, at most reaching entry-level, to truly grasp the essence of martial arts, only through actual combat.
A wild wolf suddenly discovered a human who had entered its territory, and it was still a young boy. A pair of green eyes flashed with cruel light, and the four limbs shook, flying over like an arrow off the string. The speed was absolutely much faster than that of an adult human.
When happily throwing out the Shaolin Long Fist starting pose, a grown wild wolf, like a black ghost, suddenly sprang up high, with sharp claws and fangs, bringing the foul smell unique to beasts' mouths and noses, pouncing fiercely right in front!
Even if it were any other newcomer facing a wolf for the first time, few people could remain calm and unmoved in the face of such swift and fierce attacks.
Being happy is also not allowed.
I remember the first time we went out for actual combat, when a wild wolf came over, three newbies were quickly bitten to death in the chaos, and those moves couldn't even touch the wolf's body, and in the end they slunk back into town with their tails between their legs.
Of course!
This time is different.
To deal with wolves, open your chest and have a plan.
From head to toe, his gaze never left the wolf's body, every move clearly reflected in his mind. He started with a simple motion, turned around, and grabbed the wolf, avoiding its claws and teeth. In the split second when their bodies crossed paths, his hands met the wolf's neck as it pounced, and he tightened his grip...
"Cheers!"
A tiny spark can start a prairie fire!
Only to see the happy little guy's body spinning agilely, a large adult wolf was thrown out by him with great force, heavily smashing into a nearby tree, wailing in pain.
Although the adult wolf is in pain, the ferocity in its eyes has become even more intense!
With a happy and swift glance, the corners of his lips slightly raised, the level of Shaolin Long Fist has started to increase again, and he indeed came to the right place.
But...
The threat of adult wolves still exists, and if they gain the upper hand, this battle will be hard to win or lose.
Ahhhhh!!!
Feeling the thrill of provocation, the adult wolf fiercely pulled out several sharp marks from the ground, and its shadow disappeared again, jumping high once more.
The adult wolf is cunning, but the happy response ability is faster. Almost as soon as the adult wolf makes a move, it rushes out in three steps and two steps. Before the adult wolf's speed reaches its peak, a "Golden Dragon Claw" changes from grasping to pressing, intercepting the adult wolf in mid-air, and striking it with a single punch!
Although the arm strength is small, if it is heavily pounded on the face, even the most ferocious beast can't withstand it.
The roar at the mouth turned into a painful howl, and the corner of the mouth bled incessantly.
Take advantage of its illness and take its life!
Seagull drinking water...
Happy hands clapped together, grasped onto wolf's fur, right leg forcefully kicked out!
Roundhouse kick!
After all, it's just a child's strength, and after one set, the adult wolves, although repeatedly howling in pain, did not actually receive a fatal attack. Kaixin didn't care either, completely immersed in the routine of restraint.
A child embracing a tree!
Tiger Form...
Shaolin Changquan skillfully unfolded from Kai Xin's hands, as if a clever ape, playing with the adult wild wolf firmly in its palms.
Every time the adult wild wolf wants to break free, Kai Xin can cleverly pull it back with a few tender punches; once the male adult wild wolf bites back, immediately skillfully breaks free, or simply gives it a ruthless slap on the face.
The ferocity of adult wolves is slowly disappearing.
However, Kaixin still let go and kicked a leg of the wild wolf to pieces, continuing to attack frantically until he exhausted all his strength, only then did he end the life of the wild wolf.
Sigh...
Accept the contribution of a wild wolf - an 'intact wolf pelt' and a 'large chunk of wolf meat'. Sit down happily, run the True Heart Technique, and recover your energy.
This time, although he didn't get to fully relax and enjoy himself, the adult wild wolf still helped him raise his "Shaolin Long Fist" level to a slightly superficial understanding, 15.7 levels - this is the harvest of actual combat with high-level beasts, if it were sparring with newcomers of similar level, the improvement speed of Shaolin Long Fist would probably be much slower.
The level of martial arts is the level of realm, lethality, speed, and defensive capability.
For example, Shaolin Changquan is a martial art that emphasizes defense, and the higher the level, the more powerful each move becomes - to put it in a more intuitive way, when two people with knives attack each other, the outcome depends on whether you can parry your opponent's knife (successful defense) or have your weapon knocked out of your hand and see blood...
Of course!
Martial arts is not purely decided by strength.
The mastery of martial arts techniques is what matters most!
Like a happy duel with adult wolves.
With the attacking power and speed of a grown wolf, it can normally bite to death several newcomers, but when encountering Kaixin who has an extraordinary understanding of martial arts, it's completely different.
Understanding of both enemy and self, mastery of techniques and their application, optimized the lethality and specificity of each move, completely surpassing the instinctual attacks of a mature wild wolf.
This is also why people in Jianghu often provoke each other's state of mind before a fight...
A warrior who cannot remain calm will be no stronger than a wild beast with killing intent in actual combat.
Three weeks of running ended, Kaixin quietly put the wolf skin and wolf meat into a package, slung it over his shoulder, and walked into a deeper forest, continuing to search for new lone "adult wild wolves".

Expected to be released on the 7th, but it was actually released a week earlier.
Rushed and imperfect from birth, can only rely on everyone's help now, Xiao Hei thanks you.
