Strength Improvement

"Awwooo..."

Seeing one of its underlings killed, the Alpha Wolf immediately let out a howl.

Mo Tang had originally thought the beast would charge over to avenge its companion, but unexpectedly, it merely urged the other wolves to attack while standing there with no intention of joining in.

"Something's off!"

Once he had calmed down, Mo Tang's thoughts stirred.

If it truly was a Demonic Beast, even a beginner first-tier Demonic Beast, it would have rushed over and torn him apart by now.

Yet judging by its behavior, the Alpha Wolf had no intention of joining the fight at all...

Did it look down on him?

The thought flashed through his mind and vanished.

Whatever!

Fortune was found in danger!

That thing he had spotted earlier was clearly no ordinary object. Mo Tang instinctively felt that obtaining it would bring him a huge surprise, so he could not give up...

With his mind made up, Mo Tang dodged another wolf's charging jaws. Rather than retreating, he surged forward, shooting straight toward the rock where the Alpha Wolf stood!

"Triple Blade Qi!"

The sharp blade sliced through the air with a faintly piercing shriek.

A barely visible current formed along the edge, directly condensing into a white blade of Qi...

He was not even a Dou Zhe, much less capable of coating a weapon in Dou Qi.

Yet empowered by a combat technique at Grand Completion, Mo Tang's strike carried a touch of resolute, unstoppable killing intent!

The Dragon-Slaying Sword pressed forward without pause; Wan Jianyi united ten thousand swords to Slay Ghosts and Gods!

Of course, Mo Tang was not Wan Jianyi, and what he held was not the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

But all he faced was a wild wolf that did not even qualify as a Demonic Beast... So what if it was bigger? Trash was still trash!

Splat!

Its neck tore open...

The massive wolf head had been nearly severed in half by Mo Tang's slash...

It was not that his blade was not sharp enough. The wolf had simply reacted quickly, and its evasive movement caused his strike to miss slightly.

But it made little difference...

Even though it had avoided immediate decapitation, its head was already hanging down onto its shoulder. No matter how tenacious its vitality was, it could not survive.

The sudden scene startled all the surrounding Green Wolves.

Especially when they saw the Alpha Wolf still struggling and howling on the ground, its blood staining the earth red, the Green Wolves finally became afraid...

Staring at Mo Tang, who still stood with his blade drawn and killing intent blazing around him, the remaining Green Wolves slowly backed away before suddenly diving into the woods and fleeing!

Mo Tang finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw that.

If those beasts had truly gone mad and rushed him together, he would probably have been injured even if he managed to kill them all.

And though he had only used one strike, he already felt hollow inside...

The little Dou Qi he had possessed had been completely drained by that attack. His legs even felt a little weak now.

Mo Tang did not dare linger. He stored the wolf corpses in his Backpack again, then leaped over to the white object.

"Low-grade Energy detected: 30 points. Absorb?"

"Yes/No."

"Yes!"

Mo Tang was overjoyed.

It actually contained 30 Energy Points, twice as much as an ordinary second-grade Spirit Herb!

"What exactly is this thing, to be worth so much?"

Looking at the pile of dull, colorless powder it had become, Mo Tang could not help but wonder to himself.

However, he was not an alchemist and knew nothing at all about identifying medicinal ingredients. He could only keep it in mind and ask someone after returning.

With an extra 30 Energy Points, together with the White Mushroom Cap from before, Mo Tang now had a total of 33 Energy Points.

Name: Mo Tang Level: Dou Disciple 3rd stage ↑

Cultivation Method: None Combat Technique: Triple Blade Qi (Grand Completion) ↑

Available Energy Points: 33 (Low-grade)

Mo Tang immediately chose to raise his cultivation level.

"Raising Dou Disciple 4th stage requires 8 Low-grade Energy Points. Raise level?"

"Yes/No"

"Yes!"

"10 Low-grade Energy Points are required to advance to the Fifth Stage of Dou Qi. Advance?"

"Yes/No"

"Yes!"

"12 Low-grade Energy Points are required to advance to the Sixth Stage of Dou Qi. Advance?"

He advanced all the way to the Sixth Stage of Dou Qi before finally stopping.

His level had directly doubled. For a moment, Mo Tang felt his entire body brimming with power, and he could barely resist the urge to find a Demonic Beast to test himself against right now!

Name: Mo Tang Level: Sixth Stage of Dou Qi ↑

Cultivation Method: None Dou Technique: Triple Blade Qi (Grand Completion) ↑

Available Energy Points: 3 (Low-grade)

At that moment, Mo Tang wanted to throw back his head and roar at the sky...

Who else was there!

He had risen three stages of Dou Qi in less than a second. Even if Xiao Yan drank the Foundation Elixir outright, he absolutely could not match such a terrifying rate of advancement.

For a moment, Mo Tang's confidence swelled to the extreme!

Just as Mo Tang was already starting to feel invincible...

Suddenly, a beast's roar from afar interrupted his fantasy.

"Roar!"

Judging by the sound, it should have been some kind of bear. It was deep and heavy, carrying an invisible sense of oppression.

Yet Mo Tang, whose confidence was currently through the roof, immediately lit up. He gripped his blade and headed toward the source of the sound.

It was not that his suddenly increased strength had truly clouded his judgment.

From the pack of Green Wolves earlier, he could tell that there should not have been any Demonic Beasts within this area. If it was merely a group of wild animals, then no matter how ferocious they were, they could not possibly pose any danger to Mo Tang now...

Only after confirming this did Mo Tang dare act so recklessly.

However...

Things were clearly not as simple as he had imagined.

Seeing the Black Fur Bear more than two meters tall that had entered his field of vision, Mo Tang's brows immediately furrowed.

"This is... a first-tier Demonic Beast, a Black Fur Bear? What is this thing doing here?!"

Judging from its size, the Demonic Beast before him should only have been around the strength of an early first-tier beast. But bear-type Demonic Beasts were naturally incomparably powerful, so even an early first-tier one would require at least two or three Dou Zhes of at least Three Stars to take down.

Of course, that was in a head-on fight...

Mo Tang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his grip on the blade tightened.

"If I ambush it, as long as I can seriously injure it quickly, I might be able to take down this stupid bear!"

His Triple Blade Qi was a Yellow Rank High Dou Technique. Its power after reaching Grand Completion had already been well proven by what happened earlier.

And this Black Fur Bear was merely an extremely ordinary Demonic Beast. Aside from being a bit stronger, it had no other special abilities. Mo Tang was confident that as long as his ambush succeeded, he could take it down!

Fortune came from taking risks!

Since he had already made his decision, there was no need to hesitate!

A flash of killing intent passed through Mo Tang's eyes. Then, while the bear lowered its head, he instantly unleashed the blade strike he had prepared for so long!

A streak of lightning flashed past, and the sharp blade had already descended upon its black mane.
