Chapter 5: Wind Blade Seven Kills

  Now that I've leveled up to level 8, it means I've reached the eighth layer of Qi cultivation. The amount of experience and internal energy required to upgrade each level is extremely large, making it increasingly difficult to level up as you progress. At this point, relying on Flame Mouse to level up is simply impossible; its experience points are far from enough, so I have no choice but to venture deeper.

  The deeper you go, the more dangerous it is. Yang Lei's heart was as clear as a mirror on this point. However, the opportunities are also greater. He is currently at the 8th level of Qi training, and there is still a long way to go before breaking through to the Martial Artist stage. Although the difference between the 8th level of Qi training and the Martial Artist stage is not great, it's just three levels apart, but the key is to enter the Martial Artist stage from the 10th level of Qi training, which is a huge gap. Some people even get stuck at this level for several years or even decades.

  All the way in, for some first-class demon beasts, Yang Lei had already looked down on them, unless they were second-class demon beasts, otherwise Yang Lei wouldn't even bother to take action.

  Night.

  Yang Lei lit the fire and roasted the rabbit meat. When the rabbit meat was golden brown and dripping with oil, he took out the seasonings and sprinkled them on the rabbit meat, instantly filling the air with fragrance.

  After roasting, Yang Lei couldn't wait to take it down from the rack. It has to be said that on this Chongwu continent, rabbit meat is much fresher than on Earth. After eating his fill and drinking enough, Yang Lei let out a satisfied burp, but the lantern-like lights that suddenly appeared around him made him shiver with cold.

  Wolves, and indeed wolves, and not a few of them either. A careful count revealed about twenty or so. Yang Wei secretly cursed his luck, raised the torch to signal, and inadvertently took in a breath of cool air. Before entering the Yan Mountains, Yang Wei had bought a "Magical Creatures Compendium" which introduced various magical creatures found on the continent.

  The giant wolves in front of him were enormous, comparable to mastiffs, and were clearly not ordinary wolves, but rather second-level wind system magical beasts known as Wind Wolves. Wind Wolves are pack animals that can launch wind blade attacks on their enemies and also engage in close combat with their sharp teeth. They usually have a leader wolf that commands them, possessing a certain level of intelligence.

  Yang Lei currently has a cultivation base of only the 8th layer, but his internal energy is much stronger than that of an average 8th-layer cultivator, equivalent to a first-stage warrior. Dealing with two or three wolves would be no problem at all, but there are over twenty here, and there's also the pack leader. If he had reached the warrior stage, dealing with these few wolves would definitely not be a problem, but the key is that he is still in the cultivation stage.

  Looking at the current situation, there's no choice but to take a risk. Thus, Yang Lei involuntarily tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand.

  At this time, a wolf launched a probing attack and pounced on Yang Wei.

  Yang Lei was fearless in the face of danger, a wolf launched an attack, but couldn't do anything to him. Waiting for the right moment, Yang Lei made his move, slashing forward with his dagger, aiming at the wind wolf's neck.

  One hit kill.

  Hit the weak point, fatal blow.

  "Ding! Congratulations, player killed Feng Lang, experience +50, chi +20."

  "Ding! Congratulations, player has acquired the skill of Insight, which allows them to detect enemy weaknesses and deliver a fatal blow. Please name it."

  "Fatal blow."

  Misfortune turned into good fortune, it's really misfortune turned into good fortune, unexpectedly grasped the fatal blow.

  "Aooo..." But before Yang Lei could even get excited, he heard the head wolf let out a long howl, and the remaining twenty or so wind wolves launched an attack, not just biting and pouncing, but also using their ultimate skill, Wind Blade.

  "Damn it." Yang Lei dodged the blow in a fluster, but his face was still scratched, and a thin line of blood seeped out. "Grandma's bear, I've been disfigured."

  Before Yang Wei could get up, the other two Wind Wolves pounced again.

  Yang Lei saw the situation and quickly rolled over, then swiftly jumped up.

  "Fatal blow."

  "Hsss." A wolf fell down.

  But the remaining Wind Wolf did not show any fear and did not give up, attacking again.

  After several attacks, Yang Lei had gradually grasped the rhythm, but trouble came again. He was killed by four wind wolves, but Yang Lei's gas value consumption was huge. If he couldn't get replenished, it would be dangerous.

  Ji Qi Wan, thinking of the Ji Qi Wan he still had ten more, Yang Wei hastily took out one and swallowed it. The surging medicinal power of the Ji Qi Wan instantly spread throughout his body, although it didn't fully replenish his depleted energy, it did recover most of it. Yang Wei continued to take another one. Soon after, his Qi value was fully restored.

  "Kill." Yang Lei shouted loudly, capturing the thief first and then the king. If he captured that head wolf himself, then the remaining wind wolves would be nothing to mention.

  The alpha wolf is not that easy to deal with, seemingly aware of Yang Lei's movements, the alpha wolf took a step back, but it was not retreating, rather a sign of attack, the dignity of the wolf king would not be trampled, nor could it retreat.

  Yang Lei knew that this wolf was not easy to deal with, its strength was probably close to that of a third-level magical beast, which was comparable to the realm of a martial artist, and he was far inferior. What to do?

  Watching the wolf king's movements, a glint of light flashed in Yang Lei's eyes. This wolf was not right, it seemed... and then he realized that it was injured. This discovery filled Yang Lei with great joy - an injured wolf king meant his own opportunity had arrived. With this thought, Yang Lei suddenly accelerated, ignoring the attacks from the wind wolves behind him, and quickly arrived in front of the wolf king.

  "Fatal blow."

  The wolf dodged and made a fatal blow, but it fell empty. Then it let out a loud roar, enraged, as if to say, "You dare to provoke me, you little brat!" Next, it flipped over and pounced towards Yang Lei, spitting wind blades from its mouth.

  "Damn it." Yang Lei cursed involuntarily, never expecting this fatal blow to be dodged.

  Yang Lei dodged nimbly, and the wind blade struck the body of the Wind Wolf that was sneaking up behind him. The Wind Wolf, which had wanted to ambush Yang Lei, suddenly had its eyes cut out and rolled on the ground, wailing in pain.

  The Wolf King grew even angrier, never expecting that his one blow would actually hit his own subordinate, and the wind blades became increasingly urgent.

  Yang Lei was even more delighted, often dodging in front of other Wind Wolves.

  "Fatal blow."

  Another wind wolf fell down. In just over ten minutes, Yang Lei had already killed more than a dozen wind wolves, and of course, the Wind Wolf King himself had also taken out a few.

  The Wind Wolf King let out another roar, and the remaining six wind wolves charged forward in a frenzy.

  Yang Lei swallowed the Qi-gathering pill in his mouth, staring at the Wolf King with a hint of madness flashing in his eyes. As he watched the Wind Wolf King approach, opening its bloody maw, Yang Lei had already caught wind of that foul and pungent smell.

  "Fatal blow."

  "Ding! Congratulations, player, for killing the Wind Wolf King. Experience +500, Chi +200."

  "Ding, congratulations player on obtaining the secret recipe Wind Blade Seven Kills."

  "Ding, congratulations player Yang Wei, level up."

  Yang Lei felt a great sense of relief in his heart. Once he leveled up, his Qi value was fully restored. Although he had been hit by two Wind Wolves earlier, after leveling up, he didn't have to worry about it at all anymore.

  With the death of the Wind Wolf King, the remaining four wind wolves were no longer a threat. Soon under Yang Yue's offensive, the four wind wolves also turned into experience.
