The swordplay was clean, swift, and beautiful, designed to kill with a single move. Xu Feng thought. With the peak physical condition of Xu - Intermediate Warrior and the first level of Ninefold Thunderblade, plus the assistance of Spiritual Force, failing to take down an Intermediate Beast Soldier Earthshaker Rhinoceros would be a complete waste.
Just relying on a warrior's strength alone could kill an Intermediate Beast Soldier. He'd play it safe for this first battle. He would fight using only his warrior strength next time.
"Although the materials from an Intermediate Beast Soldier are only worth a few thousand, I can't waste them," Xu Feng said. He took a dagger from his waist. With just a few strokes, the dagger easily flipped open the skull. With a flick of the wrist, he peeled off a whole horn. Xu Feng wiped it on the grass and put it into his backpack.
Then, with great skill, Xu Feng's dagger sliced open the Earthshaker Rhinoceros's skin, taking a piece of Beef.
He casually cut down some branches. Xu Feng took out a flint from his backpack, and with a movement of his hands, a ball of flame appeared. He set up a simple grill and began to roast the Beef.
When the Beef was almost done, Xu Feng took out seasonings and sprinkled them on. After a while, it was ready. Xu Feng picked it up and ate it. The taste was passable, nothing special. It was far worse than what the chef at home made, but Xu Feng wasn't a picky eater.
After eating, Xu Feng finished roasting the remaining Beef. It's best not to light a fire at night in the wilderness. Xu Feng planned to eat the roasted Beef in the evening. He wrapped the Beef in large leaves and put it in a compartment of his backpack before continuing on his journey.
In the wilderness, tall buildings stood, and various plants had grown for an unknown number of years, making it difficult to travel. The most troublesome part was often having to climb over buildings or take circuitous routes.
When moving forward in the wilderness, don't try to clear away the thorns in your path; it's better to go around them. Jiang Nian and Xu Feng had told him this, and he was following their instructions.
First, find two Intermediate Beast Soldiers to practice with, then look for Advanced Beast Soldiers to play around with. Once he was skilled at dealing with Advanced Beast Soldiers, he would try to fight a Beginner Beast General. If he could kill it, he would challenge an Intermediate Beast General to see the result and then decide what to do next. This was Xu Feng's plan.
He went deeper. He found several Beast Soldier monsters not far away, and Xu Feng walked toward an Intermediate Beast Soldier.
This one was a Roadrunner: an Intermediate Beast Soldier, a monster beast with feathers all over its body, primarily attacking with its beak, and extremely fast. Xu Feng, moving quickly, used the Bloodshadow Battleblade to slash at the Roadrunner directly. The Roadrunner was also very fast and dodged the blade, but it immediately let out a cry, and its thick, long beak directly stabbed at Xu Feng. Xu Feng's blade followed the beak and cut into the bird's head. The Roadrunner fell to the ground and died.
"Its IQ is less than zero, trying to face the Bloodshadow Battleblade head-on with its beak." Xu Feng thought to himself. Xu Feng felt that Intermediate Beast Soldiers were just like that and wanted to find an Advanced Beast Soldier to challenge. He remembered the Advanced Beast Soldier he had just seen.
That monster was an Advanced Beast Soldier, a Shadow Hunter Hound. Although dogs were social monsters, the Shadow Hunter Hounds were an exception; they were solitary creatures by nature, always traveling alone.
Xu Feng quietly approached the Advanced Beast Soldier, a Shadow Hunter Hound. He saw a dog, black as night and the size of a small calf, gnawing on a dead rabbit. It seemed the Shadow Hunter Hound had just finished its meal.
Xu Feng, wielding his Bloodshadow Battleblade, casually swung it at the Shadow Hunter Hound, which was full and preparing to rest.
Boom! Caught off guard, the Shadow Hunter Hound was directly hit by Xu Feng's attack. The dog was knocked back hard, but then it stood up again. "Unscathed? How is that possible? Looks like I didn't hit the right spot. Copper head, iron bones, tofu waist, let's see if you can survive this time." Xu Feng muttered to himself, but his blade was already aimed at the dog's waist.
The Shadow Hunter Hound, having just eaten, was suddenly attacked by a human and immediately glared at Xu Feng with its blood-red eyes.
The Shadow Hunter Hound suddenly lunged at Xu Feng, its speed startling him. A black blur shot towards Xu Feng. Xu Feng's blade struck nothing but air.
But the black claws still managed to scratch Xu Feng's leg. "So fast!" While continuously swinging his Bloodshadow Battleblade to attack the Shadow Hunter Hound, Xu Feng couldn't help but marvel at the beast's incredible speed.
Boom! Another collision. Xu Feng was knocked back several steps before he could regain his balance. Looking at the Shadow Hunter Hound, it was still staring at him with red eyes. "Mustn't be careless," he thought, and channeled his Spiritual Force, launching a volley of Seven-Blade Flying Knives at the Shadow Hunter Hound.
The Shadow Hunter Hound was struck. Before it could react, Xu Feng's Bloodshadow Battleblade slashed at its waist. The Shadow Hunter Hound fell to the ground, still glaring at Xu Feng with its red eyes. Xu Feng's Bloodshadow Battleblade struck the dog's waist again, splitting it in two. Xu Feng took out a dagger, extracted the black material, and immediately left the battlefield, heading elsewhere.
After walking a long distance from the area, Xu Feng stopped. After the fight, he realized a Beast General, Beginner level, was approaching. An Advanced Beast Soldier had already injured him, so facing a Beast General, Beginner level, could very well result in his death.
"My combat experience is still too weak. Even with a surprise attack, I still got injured. I even had to use Spiritual Force to finish it."
In an abandoned building in the Wilderness Zone, Xu Feng treated his wounds and cultivated Genetic Energy. Life-or-death battles are always the fastest way for a martial artist to improve their strength. Only through intense combat can you squeeze out more potential from your body.
Summer rain is particularly heavy, and it started raining in the evening.
Sitting on the ground, listening to the sound of the rain outside the window, Xu Feng, with a calm heart, slowly closed his eyes and began to feel the flow of Cosmic Energy between heaven and earth, as quiet as music. That feeling was like returning to his parents' embrace.
A trace of tranquility appeared on Xu Feng's face, and he began to enter a meditative state. Xu Feng, with a calm heart, slowly closed his eyes and began to feel the transformation of his body.
A large amount of Cosmic Energy flowed into his body, spreading and converting into Genetic Energy like a rolling river.
A smile appeared on Xu Feng's lips as he focused his mind and controlled his cells to absorb this energy, strengthening his body.
"Hu"
Xu Feng slowly opened his closed eyes, feeling the waves of warmth emanating from his lower abdomen, which filled his entire body with power.
He felt that his current strength should be around 8000kg. Using Spiritual Force, he should be able to reach the level of an Intermediate Battle General.
Clenching his right fist, Xu Feng naturally activated the Genetic Energy within him and slammed it towards the stone surface beside him.
"Boom!" Like steel colliding, the ground was directly smashed into a stone pit, which then cracked outwards in all directions.
"My physical fitness has reached the level of an Advanced Warrior."
Feeling the changes within him, Xu Feng was also somewhat excited. The improvement in his physical fitness also represented a breakthrough in his Spiritual Force.
"My Spiritual Force has also reached the Intermediate Battle General level."
