Su Yun's figure moved like a cunning rabbit, sprinting continuously through the forest.

"I have now mastered the first form of the Wind God Leg, Catching the Wind and Grasping the Shadow."

He whispered to himself, feeling the speed of the wind beneath his feet.

Su Yun tapped his toes lightly onto the branch of a large tree.

The branch sagged slightly under the force.

In an instant, the branch snapped back into place.

If Tang San were here to see that the branch's vertical displacement was no more than an inch, he would surely be amazed.

This scene was proof of the precision and lightness of the force Su Yun applied with his feet.

Of course.

To achieve such progress, Su Yun had endured quite a bit of suffering over the past month.

In order to practice the flexibility of his legs and feet, he had sustained no fewer than thirty injuries all over his body during this month.

"It's a good thing I have the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, otherwise I might have killed myself before Tang Buddha could even get the chance."

Su Yun felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

However, with the first form of his Wind God Leg reaching the stage of initial mastery, he had gained a certain level of personal understanding regarding the control of his legs.

Su Yun suddenly began to understand those people from his past life who loved extreme sports.

He once thought that they were just a bunch of people who liked to "court death."

But now, he had a different perspective.

Enduring pain, persisting through it, and finally obtaining the desired result—that sense of satisfaction was truly irreplaceable by anything else.

Especially in a fantasy world, where one could truly master their own power!

Swish!

The moment the branch rebounded, the corners of Su Yun's mouth curled up, and he exerted force through his soles once more.

Snap!

The figure on the branch vanished in a flash.

The next second, Su Yun transformed into a small, dark shadow, disappearing into the depths of the back mountain within a few breaths.

The academy's back mountain was still quite safe.

There were almost no spirit beasts here.

Of course, the reason it was said to be "almost" was that there were definitely still some.

However, most of the spirit beasts here were ones that had only recently acquired spirit power.

They had likely been cultivating their spirit power for less than ten years.

If these spirit beasts were pitted against some highly feral wild beasts, they might not even be a match for the latter.

Therefore, some teachers at Notting Academy would bring low-grade students like Su Yun to the back mountain.

They would specifically select spirit beasts with docile temperaments to provide explanations.

Carrying his long spear on his back, Su Yun passed by the habitats of some spirit beasts that had not yet reached ten years of age.

Su Yun chose not to strike, instead bypassing these weak spirit beasts and continuing toward the depths.

With Su Yun's current strength, dealing with these spirit beasts could be described as a game of "bullying toddlers."

It was simply too easy.

Of course, he would certainly not strike at these weak spirit beasts.

Only the weak would strike at those even weaker than themselves.

Stabbing a low-level spirit beast to death with a spear was indeed very simple for Su Yun.

But even if he killed ten thousand low-level spirit beasts, it would neither improve his spear technique nor enhance his combat awareness.

It would be a futile effort.

It was just like playing Go.

If one wanted to improve their skill, they would naturally have to play against a world champion or even an AlphaGo.

Playing against a terrible player would only be a waste of time.

To become stronger, he naturally needed to fight against powerful opponents, or at least opponents evenly matched with him, for it to be meaningful.

Some time ago.

Su Yun, who had just started practicing with the spear, would hear a series of howls in the back mountain every day.

Later, he asked the academy teachers and learned that there was a pack of wild boars in the back mountain.

Wild boars, as a species.

Whether it was their durability or their combat prowess, they were considered among the best when it came to ordinary animals.

Su Yun felt that using wild boars as his practice targets was the most appropriate choice.

Living up to Su Yun's expectations, as soon as he walked deep into the back mountain.

A wild boar, currently digging at the ground, appeared right before Su Yun's eyes.

"Snort, snort~"

A wild boar about one meter tall and two meters long.

Its entire body was covered in black bristles that looked as if they had been greased to a shine.

Just by observing with the naked eye, one could feel the hardness of every single bristle.

Such a beast was exactly the kind of practice target Su Yun was looking for.

"Clatter!"

The wild boar, which had been enthusiastically digging a hole, suddenly noticed a pebble hitting its body.

It gave a start and whipped its head around.

It was actually a human child throwing stones at it?!

"Huff, huff~"

A flash of anger crossed the wild boar's eyes, and its four sturdy, short hooves began to scrape against the ground.

It seemed ready to attack Su Yun at any moment.

Seeing the wild boar before him grow angry, Su Yun tossed away the stone in his hand and took down the long spear he had been carrying on his back.

He gripped the spear with both hands, straightened his back, and tilted the spearhead slightly upward.

The metal-forged spear tip glinted with a cold light, revealing a trace of icy killing intent.

In truth, Su Yun could have chosen to launch a sneak attack just now.

However, he still wanted to face the wild boar head-on and fight it fair and square.

"Roar!"

The wild boar let out a low growl and stomped its four hooves!

The ground began to tremble!

Its massive body came rumbling toward Su Yun!

Wild Charge!

Relying on their tough skin and bristles, the combat power of wild boars in the wild could be said to be surprisingly strong.

Even for some iron weapons, if they lacked sufficient force, it was very difficult to break through their defense.

Swish!

Seeing the wild boar make the first move, Su Yun also exerted force through the soles of his feet.

His figure vanished from where he stood.

A gust of wind swept across the spot.

The next moment.
