A Silver Wolf's Day (Please Bookmark and Follow)

Early morning, just after five o'clock.

The impatient sun was already eager to clock in. The first strand of sunlight began in the east of the Lightning Strike Mountain Range, sweeping onward until it spread across a lush thicket in the primitive forests of the mountain range's southern region.

This was no ordinary thicket. Hidden behind it was a deep, shadowy cave, from which long, low snores could faintly be heard.

The sunlight was not yet very hot, like fine strands of golden silk—soft and warm. Passing through the dew on the bushes, it broke into brilliant, multicolored rays, as dazzling as a rainbow. Those radiant beams skipped and danced among the shrubs, lending vibrant life to the otherwise monotonous yellow-green landscape.

This was one of the few beautiful sights of the dry season.

Xu Yang's eyelids flickered, and the fresh scent carried by the sunlight quickly roused him from sleep. After looking around, Xu Yang was quite satisfied with his handiwork. He had found this cave two days ago while patrolling his territory. After sending its former owner—a Mountain Lion of the Apprentice Fifth Order—back into the Creator's embrace, the cave had become his.

At first, the cave had been filled with the filthy stench of feces and waste. The bottom was piled with the remains of half-eaten prey, and the scorching dry season had quickly rotted them. Countless plump, white maggots crawled through the decaying flesh, wriggling in and out...

Even though Xu Yang had fully adapted to a wolf's tastes and the laws of wilderness life, he had still nearly vomited up last night's meal when he saw that scene!

He had thrown away the Mountain Lion's corpse in utter disgust. Having seen the lion's living conditions with his own eyes, he could not bring himself to eat a single bite of its meat.

It had taken him an entire day to clean out the cave while forcibly holding his breath. He had never expected the first time he used Origin Power would be for housecleaning... Still, the fierce winds raised by wind-element Origin Power were truly useful for ventilating an enclosed space like this!

Rising from the dry straw, Xu Yang strolled to the cave entrance and let out a carefree howl. After clearing his throat, he jogged toward his private pool.

With a brandish of his claw, he swept aside the dead branches and fallen leaves floating at the edge of the pool, then directly submerged half his wolf kiss in the water.

"Gulp gulp~~"

After mastering Origin Power, drinking had become much more convenient. In the past, Xu Yang had needed to keep curling water up with his tongue. Now, he simply formed a small vortex of wind in his throat with Origin Power, and the water was sucked down his throat like a pump, gulp after gulp.

"Burp~~~"

Xu Yang let out a satisfied burp, feeling absolutely wonderful.

He summoned the system panel—

Host: Xu Yang

Race: Silver Wolf

Strength: Planet Level, Second Order

Resources: 1.7/3

Xu Yang had discovered that he had developed a new little habit: just like when he used to play online games, he loved looking at his personal status panel... He had not had this habit when he was still at the Apprentice Level, but after advancing to the Planet Level, it had gradually formed without him realizing it.

This feeling of anticipation really is agonizing. It's like waiting for the teacher to hand back the exams after finishing a test—both eager and nervous.

Glancing at the dazzling nine-colored Domain Draw wheel, Xu Yang could not help sighing inwardly.

Only four more days until I can perform a Domain Draw.

After carefully washing his face and grooming his fur, Xu Yang turned and headed back toward the cave. Next came his daily "Training Room" time. Now that he had advanced to the Planet Level, he could train in the Training Room for two hours each day. Even though Xu Yang was already the proud ruler of the forests in reality, inside the Training Room, he was still that pitiful fellow who got torn apart every day... After all, being besieged by tens of thousands of Green Wolves of the same level was not easy to withstand, even if each of them only had onefold force output.

Back in the cave, he lay down in a comfortable position.

He closed his eyes.

Then opened them.

If an outsider had been present, they would surely have been puzzled by what Xu Yang was doing. In reality, though, Xu Yang had already spent two extremely fulfilling hours in the system's "Training Room" space. It was only because of the system's miraculous nature that it looked as though he had merely closed and opened his eyes.

"Roar, roar."

After letting out several low roars in succession to vent his frustration, there was little fear left in Xu Yang's eyes over being "torn apart." Instead, he was reflecting on the gains from his two-hour morning training session.

After my strength improved, I've become much more composed. Back when I was at the Apprentice Level, I would get torn apart four or five times in an hour. Now that I'm at the Planet Level, I get torn apart at most three times in two hours. I was in pretty good condition today and only got torn apart twice.

That feeling during the second time... My whole body was exceptionally relaxed, as if I were floating in the clouds. It was as though every muscle had developed a mind of its own, stretching on its own and exerting force on its own.

Xu Yang's eyes still held a longing for that inexplicable state he had entered. In that state, he had felt every part of his body rejoicing from the bottom of its heart. Every muscle, fascia, patch of skin, and even every strand of fur seemed to have been granted life! And when he came out of the Force Matrix, the system's announcement had said that his highest force output had actually reached 4.6 times! His average force output was only 1.9 times...

This showed that, in that state, Xu Yang's strength had more than doubled!

This Time, I entered that state by chance. If I can thoroughly remember it and enter it whenever I want, my force output will definitely improve much faster!

As Xu Yang pondered silently, he hoped that he could enter that state again. In truth, he was not training blindly. He still had the inheritance of the Silver Wolf clan in his mind. Although the Silver Wolf clan was weak, and the inheritance it had left behind was not particularly profound, it happened to suit the current Xu Yang... His strength was also very low on the scale of the universe. Even if someone gave him an excessively profound secret art, he would not be able to practice it.

On the contrary, the techniques and cultivation methods passed down through the endless ages by the Silver Wolf clan—those that could be imprinted into the bloodline—were the most suitable for a wolf's body.

With the two complementing each other, Xu Yang was able to improve every day. Otherwise, without any guidance, how could his gains from entering the Force Matrix possibly have been this good?

Coming back to his senses, Xu Yang stood up again.

Wolves were iron, meat was steel—miss one meal, and his heart would start to panic.

It was time for the daily hunt again. Xu Yang had discovered that, after coming to this other world, his routine had become especially regular—

He went to bed early and rose early every day, ate on time, trained diligently, and never stayed up late...

If a Planet Level being really had a lifespan of a thousand years, then he would definitely live to the fullest!

At the edge of the Mian Gu Black Forest.

It took Xu Yang over half an hour to walk out of the Lightning Strike Mountain Range. It was not that he could not go faster. If he flew, he could reach the place in ten minutes at most.

But Xu Yang had neither a phone nor any social life. The thing he had in greatest abundance every day was time—more than he could ever use up...

This kind of leisurely stroll could both cultivate his temperament and kill time. Why not?

I've been busy moving these past few days. To all the readers who voted, I'll thank you properly in a few days~
