The remaining 0.2 units of resources did not take Xu Yang long to gather. The air would carry his terrifying aura, but the water would not—or rather, it spread very slowly through water.
So he found a small stream flowing through the Lightning Strike Mountain Range and caught two half-foot-long Sharp-beaked Dace from it.
Resources +0.1 Resources +0.1
Finally, the system panel before Xu Yang flashed. The pale white resource bar had filled up, while the four buttons below remained gray. The first thing Xu Yang did every morning was enter the Training Room and exercise for an hour. After three or four days of training, coupled with being repeatedly torn apart by the Pale Wild Wolf pack, Xu Yang had gained complete control over his body's strength. When he needed to erupt, he could even exert up to 1.6 times his usual power!
Thus, Xu Yang had spent the past few days in both pain and joy. As his strength increased, the Pale Wild Wolf pack's strength rose accordingly. So every day, he was still torn apart at least three or four times within that hour, and as many as five or six times. Every Time was immense torment for both body and mind... yet the improvement in his strength was equally obvious. Xu Yang had fully mastered the power of his body. Even if he were asked to thread a needle now, he was confident he could do it!
Leaping out of the stream and shaking the droplets from his fur, Xu Yang began running toward the cave. Although the system's advancement would not take long, and the surrounding wild beasts and demonic beasts had been intimidated by his aura into staying away, he still chose to return to a safe place before advancing.
There was no harm in being careful. Life did not offer second chances. Xu Yang had always kept this maxim close to heart.
Whoosh!
He slid smoothly into the cave and lay down on the pile of hay he had made in his spare time. His bluish-white fur faintly glowed in the dim cavern.
System, upgrade!
Upon receiving the host's command, the system panel began executing without the slightest hesitation!
In the darkness, Xu Yang's body suddenly gave a strange shudder. With that shudder, a faint muffled sound actually came from within his body. It was so subtle that, if not for the cave's utter silence and Xu Yang's focused attention, he likely would not have heard it at all.
Fuck, a rebirth? Why was the Apprentice Ninth Stage already here?!!
Xu Yang's mouth hung slightly open as he froze in a daze.
That muffled sound from before seemed to have been the key that opened the floodgates. Now, dull explosions rang out continuously throughout his body, like a string of firecrackers, crackling without end.
Feeling his body continuously swell as though it were an inflating balloon, Xu Yang was a little absentminded. The changes from advancing to the Apprentice Ninth Stage were a bit drastic. Could this be laying the foundation for breaking through to the Planet Level? Once he understood that, the tension on Xu Yang's face unknowingly faded away. Instead, a faint delight kept welling up from the depths of his heart. The stronger, the better—who would ever think their strength was too great?
This transformation lasted a full ten minutes, making Xu Yang all the more grateful that he had chosen to return to the cave for his advancement. Being unable to move for ten minutes in the open wilderness—who knew whether some brazen demonic beast might come over and take a bite out of him? If he died like that, Xu Yang figured he would be so angry his soul would scatter!
Opening his slightly weary yet brilliantly sharp Eyes, Xu Yang did not notice that the silver light in the Bottom of His Eyes had become even richer than before. There was also less blue in his fur. Only the roots still held a bluish tint; every other part had turned completely white, occasionally flickering with silver light!
He was simply incomparably majestic!
If he were thrown into a wolf pack now, who knew how many young she-wolves would be stirred body and soul by him~~
Unfortunately, Xu Yang, with his wolf body and human soul, was destined to have no future with them. Xu Yang could not indulge in something as perverse as "benevolent longevity."
Now that I've reached the Apprentice Ninth Stage, my soul power has improved again. I should be able to fully record Silver Wolf Nine Kills now, right?
Stretching out his millstone-sized right forepaw, he scratched an itch with its thick, comfortable pads. Xu Yang narrowed his eyes as he thought. When he advanced to the Apprentice Eighth Stage before, he had always been just a little short of fully recording Silver Wolf Nine Kills. Now that he was at the Apprentice Ninth Stage, there should be no problem.
Everything was developing in a good direction!
Less than half a month after arriving in this other world, he had risen from an ordinary gray-furred wild wolf to a Silver Wolf Descendant. He had gone from a little piece of trash bullied by a Leopard to the Azure Silver Wolf King feared by all beasts. Xu Yang was very satisfied now. The oppressed had finally risen up—what development could be better than this?
This was absolutely the script of a power fantasy. So he no longer resented being transported through time. Instead, he was grateful for the chance to take control of his own fate.
Hm?
Leopard...
Just as Xu Yang was sighing to himself, a familiar term suddenly stirred his emotions—
A cold night, a hungry wolf, a terrified deer, an arrogant leopard... an exceptionally unpleasant memory, Can Be Called the darkest chapter of his life since arriving in this world.
In the dim cave, his stark white teeth gleamed as if they would shine. A cold smile tugged at the Corner of the Mouth.
A gentleman's revenge could wait ten years.
This wolf's revenge in ten days—was that too much to ask?
Whoosh!
He acted as soon as he thought of it. Xu Yang Turned into a phantom and raced toward the cave entrance. At this point, even his head could no longer fit through the narrow opening, but having mastered Silver Wolf Nine Kills, he naturally did not fear it. The Silver Secret Power within him, clearly much denser than before, began coursing and burning along a specific route.
Boom!
A bright flash as pure as moonlight swept past. The cave wall instantly collapsed under Xu Yang's impact, countless stones spraying outward as dust billowed everywhere. Yet Xu Yang seemed entirely unaffected. His figure flickered in and out of sight amid the dust like a streak of silver lightning, instantly charging out of the cave.
Under the broad daylight, Silver Wolf Treads Frost.
Xu Yang did not force himself to create sonic booms just to travel faster. That was far too high-profile. He kept his speed just below the threshold of the speed of sound. This level of control was something he absolutely Could not achieve a few days ago, yet now he could deliberately restrain it.
Cultivation could be found everywhere. Xu Yang did not rely on his cheat and completely abandon his own efforts.
Virtue unequal to one's position would surely bring disaster. To possess little virtue yet hold high rank, little wisdom yet scheme greatly, little strength yet bear heavy responsibility—few could escape ruin.
Xu Yang had always remembered those words from the Book of Changes in his previous life.
The system was a sharp tool, a vital weapon for survival, but the true foundation of one's existence was to remain cautious forever, work diligently forever, and never forget one's Original Intention.
Anything one could grasp oneself had to be grasped oneself. Those who cultivated only external things and not their hearts were all idiots!
As Xu Yang rushed toward Newborn Valley.
The Leopard was lying on the branch of a lush tree, taking an afternoon nap. It was now the dry season in the Verdant Wilderness. The thunderstorm from a week ago was likely the last rain for the next half year. Although the forest was five or six degrees cooler than the grasslands, it was still extremely hot.
On open prairies like the Ten Thousand Beast Plains, the highest temperature at noon could reach over fifty degrees. Many Places far from lakes became dry under the blazing sun, their grass and trees withering yellow as though they were a dead desert. Every inch of soil seemed scorched by blazing fire, Emitting a searing heat.
The air was filled with a dry, burnt smell—the scent of cracked earth and withered plants.
The Leopard was currently lying at the edge of the Mian Gu Black Forest, not far from Newborn Valley. It lay on a branch, trying its best to find shade and avoid the blazing sun, yet it could still feel the heat waves rising from the ground. Its fur shone with a golden-yellow luster beneath the sunlight, but compared to the parched yellow scenery around it, it looked terribly out of place.
Having been awakened from its nap by the heat once again, it considered whether to go to the nearby stream for a drink.
