Many years later, when I recall this experience, I still cant help but laugh at myself. At that time, I didnt understand the true meaning of fighting at all.
For the Saiga antelope, victory is life and defeat is death. In the face of life and death, who can easily accept their fate? Its a kind of persistence, a persistence in the face of life.
Although I admire the spirit of the antelope, I have to survive. To survive is very difficult to avoid killing other living things, whether its humane or inhumane, this is something I have no choice over.
For the next two months, I had to come to the waterfront every day to train with Feng Ling, and every day I had to hunt and kill a dozen or so Feng Ling. Firstly, for my own food, secondly... Silver Wolf and his children also needed to survive!
Wolves are animals that digest very quickly, and soon after eating, they will feel hungry again. Their digestive system is too good, the food in their stomachs is digested quickly, and then they need to eat again. So, wolves are always hungry and never satisfied with the food in their bellies.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Two months later, my opponent was still Feng Xiang, but... the situation between us had changed dramatically. In a series of over a dozen loud clashes, Feng Xiang was constantly forced back by my consecutive slashes, and I... was astonishingly using only one hand to hold my sword. Two months later, today, I could already use one hand to force Feng Xiang back, the progress was so great that it made me involuntarily let out a loud roar towards the sky.
Ah...
In the midst of a long whistle, my feet quickly alternated forward, and in the next moment... my hands once again tightly grasped the hilt of the knife, and with all my might, I chopped down. Unable to dodge, Feng Ling had no choice but to raise its sharp horns and meet my blow head-on!
Kua! Chī......
A crisp, sharp sound was followed by a noise that made ones teeth ache. My full-force slash, after chopping off the Wind Goats single horn, showed no signs of weakening and actually split its small body directly in half!
Looking at the wind deer lying on the ground, looking at that bloody scene, my heart suddenly rose up, and my whole bodys hot blood boiled up. At this moment, even if a god appeared in front of me, I would have the confidence to cut it in half with one knife!
As my mood changed, the true energy in my body went crazy and started spinning wildly, completely beyond my control. With my turbulent blood and qi, the internal force in my dantian also spun wildly, producing an extremely strong suction force.
After more than two months of daily meditation, the vortex in my lower abdomen is almost solidifying into a liquid. The speed of rotation is incredibly strong, and once it starts spinning at high speed, the suction force is astonishingly large. I feel as if the center of the vortex has formed a black hole, and all the muscles and internal organs in my body are being sucked in!
A flash of insight in my mind, I knew... the time for a breakthrough had arrived. Following the method written in the Nine Yang True Classic, I quickly sat down with my legs crossed, forcefully using my intention to control the vortex that was rapidly increasing in suction power, and began to circulate it along the path I normally used when practicing qigong.
Its different! Absolutely different feeling, the whirlpool has an incredibly strong suction power, like a high-powered vacuum cleaner, wildly pulling out the roaming energy in the cellular gap, quickly sucking it into the center of the whirlpool, and then becoming part of the whirlpool... so the whirlpools suction power becomes even more enormous.
I dare not think too much, I just guard my mind and spirit, remotely using my intention to control the vortex group in the meridians, repeating back and forth. In my inner vision, where the vortex passes through, the energy that is floating between the cells and the gaps of the meridians is sucked away, leaving it as clean as a vacuum.
It wasnt long before the cyclones rotation slowed down, but... the density of the cyclone cluster had increased even more, almost to a fog-like state. The energy contained in the cyclone cluster was more than ten times that of before.
Slowly withdrawing my energy, I slightly opened my eyes, and excitedly trembled. Although I hadnt tried it yet, I knew that I had already completely entered the realm of a primary warrior! Such a vast amount of true energy was enough to support me unleashing 100 slashes containing true energy.
Letting out a long, mournful howl at the sky once more, I knew... it was time to leave this place. The wind deer were no longer qualified to be my training partners; I needed to find even stronger creatures to be my opponents.
He and the Silver Wolf returned to the Giant Stone, the six little wolves probably due to abundant food, grew very quickly, now they are already six small Silver Wolves!
After being with the silver wolf for more than two months, a deep bond had formed between us, but... now its time to part ways.
Gently crouching in front of the Silver Wolf, I hugged its sturdy neck and softly said: "Old Silver, Im leaving again... but I promise, when I have time, Ill come back to visit you often!"
The old man can now fully understand what Im saying, only... he wont speak, otherwise, I believe we would have become the best of friends who share everything.
Slowly getting up, after lightly kissing the foreheads of the six little wolves, I turned and left the clearing in the woods. This time... the Silver Wolf didnt chase me out to see me off, but the thick affection emanating from those silver eyes almost made me change my mind and not leave.
I rushed all the way and arrived at the pond in the middle of the grassland before dusk, which was the time when the magical beasts came to drink water. The pond was surrounded by magical beasts everywhere, and the most familiar water buffalo beast was also wandering around the pond.
I patted the Hundred Battle Blade on my back, this time I came, my purpose is to find the Water Buffalo Beast, the patriarch grandfather said that if I can defeat the Water Buffalo Beast in a hard fight, I am already a high-level warrior, now... I just came here to take a step towards becoming an intermediate warrior.
I dont expect to defeat the Water Buffalo with brute force, but... through my battle with Feng Xiang, I discovered a secret: when I withstand blows that exceed my limits, my arm strength increases mysteriously, although not noticeably, its very stable. So... I came here to challenge the powerful Water Buffalo and take another step on my journey as an intermediate warrior!
Two months later, the water buffalo still recognized me. As soon as they saw me coming, they all kept a distance from me. Seeing this scene, I couldnt help but smile bitterly. I was looking for them to help me train, but they were all avoiding me. How could I practice like this?
Helpless, I shook my head and first killed a horned fish that was taking water from the pond. After roasting it over an open flame and eating it, I practiced the Hundred Battles Sword Technique alone for a while. Having practiced for nearly ten months, my Hundred Battles Sword Technique had already entered its mature stage. Every move, every style, I used with utmost proficiency, especially when practicing by myself, that kind of unbridled feeling made me want to throw my head back and let out a loud roar.
The next morning, when I woke up from meditation, the first thing I noticed was that something was wrong. All the water buffalo had red eyes and looked fierce.
Get lost!
Looking at the ferocious appearance of all the water buffalo, this term popped up in my mind for the first time. It seems that... just like the male cattle on Earth, when they reach a certain season, they will start to rut, and during the rutting period, the water buffalo will be particularly ferocious, irrational, and even slightly stimulated, it may make them thoroughly furious.
Looking at the Water Buffalo Beasts furious appearance, looking at its red eyes, I almost burst out laughing, haha... It seems that heaven also wants me to become an intermediate warrior as soon as possible, and actually lets the Water Buffalo Beast start raging at this time!
According to reliable surveys, during the mating season, male cattle can be so fierce that even lions dare not confront them. This shows just how dangerous male cattle are when theyre in heat; probably, they dont have the concept of fear at all.
Actually... the danger is not just limited to a bull in heat, a person in heat is equally terrifying. Those cases of rape, arent they all committed by men who are in that state? For the sake of their lust below the navel, they can do anything, and overall, theres no difference between them and a bull in heat, fundamentally and essentially theyre exactly the same. So... people call such individuals - beasts!
To be on the safe side, I jumped down from the tree and spent a whole half hour exercising my muscles. I practiced the Seven Cuts of the Lute from head to toe five or six times before starting to choose an object for training.
He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at a water buffalo that was wandering around the edge of the pond. With a dull thud, the stone hit the water buffalos large buttocks accurately, and suddenly...the water buffalo became enraged.
As I watched the raging water buffalo charge towards me, I smiled and clapped my hands together, brushing off the dust that had accumulated on them from holding stones. I was extremely satisfied with my marksmanship.
As I watched the buffalo-like creature charging closer and closer, I leisurely reached back with my hand, lightly drew out the precious Hundred-Battle Blade from behind me, then grasped the hilt of the Hundred-Battle Blade with both hands, focusing all my attention on the buffalo-like creature that was getting closer and closer.
Today is Sunday, haha... The most critical moment has arrived again. I hope that capable brothers can come and vote for the new book after 12 oclock tonight. Its very crucial, really crucial! Thank you all.
