Now that both parties have sensed the other's existence, Chen Mochuan will no longer move forward.
He took out the second Recovery Potion from his equipment bag, raised his head and drank it. The warm liquid quickly turned into energy and flowed throughout his body, accumulating strength in advance for the battle that was bound to be a difficult one ahead.
Then, he stood quietly at the junction of the two areas, adjusting his condition to the best, waiting for the powerful Ferocious Beast to take the initiative.
But things did not develop as he expected. The coercive existence in the [A3] area has not appeared for a long time.
The distance between the two sides was not too far. Chen Mochuan could not only catch a glimpse of its huge, looming outline through the gaps in the towering rocks a hundred meters away, but could even hear waves of low, threatening roars reverberating in the air.
Logically speaking, with Ferocious Beast's innate hostility and predatory instinct towards human aura, and with its prey so close in front of its eyes, especially when there is a clear gap in life levels, it is unlikely that it could restrain its pure desire, and it should have been unable to restrain itself from launching an attack.
But the other party did not move, and just "dinged" itself among the rocks, as if there was an invisible wall between the two, making it fearful and afraid to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
Chen Mochuan thought of the profound and clear dividing line between [B1] and [A3] on the map, and made a guess in his mind.
This wilderness, designated as a training area, is always under the strict supervision and control of Garrison Base.
Ferocious Beast who has not entered the rank may still have the "freedom" to move around in different areas, but for Ferocious Beast who has entered the rank and has undergone a qualitative change in strength, the military will inevitably implement key controls.
Since the students have been provided with clearly divided and marked maps, the military will never allow such Ferocious Beast, who are beyond the students' normal coping capabilities, to cross the border without authorization. There must be some kind of monitoring and restriction means to ensure that the "rules" are enforced.
For Ferocious Beast, which is entrenched in [A3], isn't this another form of "captivity" and restriction?
After thinking about this section, Chen Mochuan no longer hesitates. Since the other party can't come, then he will go by himself!
The next moment, he took the initiative to cross the invisible dividing line and stepped into the area [A3] rendered in dark red on the map.
"Ho--!!!"
As if he was completely angered by this move, or the prey's initiative to bring it to the door broke some kind of balance, a long howl full of violence and majesty suddenly exploded!
Among the rocks, the huge black shadow finally stopped hiding and slowly walked out, truly appearing in front of Chen Mochuan.
Chen Mochuan looked at the giant beast not far away and confirmed his previous guess.
This is Wasteland Wolf, which is much larger than its kind. It is more than two meters tall at the shoulders. Its huge body is like a moving gray hill. Its limbs are as thick as pillars, and its sharp claws dig deep into the ground.
The most eye-catching thing is the pale golden mane on its back that extends from the top of its head to the root of its tail. Under the sunlight, it shines with a metallic luster, which is in sharp contrast with the gray hair all over its body, highlighting its kingly status and extraordinary transformation.
Different from the restrained and pure powerful aura of Mortal Shedding Martial Artist, this Wasteland Wolf brings a primitive, brutal and bloody sense of oppression.
Those green vertical pupils were locked on Chen Mochuan, cold, cruel, without any emotion, only the purest desire to prey.
However, facing this substantial oppression, Chen Mochuan not only did not feel fear, but instead felt an uncontrollable burning excitement rising in his chest.
The heartbeat speeds up, the blood rushes, and the mind becomes clearer and sharper under high alertness.
This is exactly the training he craves!
Wolf King did not pounce immediately, appearing more cautious than any Wasteland Wolf Chen Mochuan had encountered before.
It lowered its front body slightly, maintaining a posture ready to explode at any time. The growl in its throat turned into a clearer and more threatening roar, its fangs exposed and saliva dripping.
That gesture was more like a demonstration than a precursor to an attack, as if it was issuing an ultimatum, intending to drive out this human who had the audacity to intrude into its territory.
Chen Mochuan remained unmoved and slowly adjusted his breathing. The mark of the word "god" in the spiritual world emitted a warm light, making his mind as clear as a mirror and dispelling the pressure that shrouded his body.
Then, he started to step forward at a steady and even speed in the direction of Wolf King, stepping forward unhurriedly.
One step, two steps, three steps----
This move was like lighting the fuse of a dynamite barrel!
The last trace of hesitation in Wolf King's eyes was completely swallowed up by rage. As the king of this area, it cannot tolerate such a naked provocation!
"Ouch--!!!"
With a roar that tore through the sky, Wolf King's hind limbs suddenly kicked the ground, like a gray-gold lightning, carrying a devastating momentum, and rushed towards Chen Mochuan!
Before the sharp claws reached his body, the sharp fishy wind had already hit Chen Mochuan's cheek.
The battle breaks out instantly!
Chen Mochuan's eyes narrowed and he was already prepared.
Facing Wolf King's attack, he had no intention of overcoming it. Thunder-Striding Step suddenly launched his body and retreated to the side and back, narrowly missing this fierce attack.
Wolf King's huge body swept past him with a strong wind, and its sharp claws scraped against the edge of Protective Suit, making a tooth-piercing friction sound.
The blow missed, and the huge Wolf King twisted its waist and hips, and its long tail as thick as a steel whip swept across, blasting the air, making a crisp "pop" sound, and struck at the bottom of Chen Mochuan.
Chen Mochuan Point your toes lightly, move your body laterally, and avoid it again.
At the same time, he also caught an opportunity. He twisted his waist and exerted force while moving, and struck Wolf King with a swift whip like a battle ax on his flank that was slightly open due to his turn!
"Bang!"
The calf hit Wolf King's tough fur, but Chen Mochuan seemed to have kicked the thick, water-soaked leather, feeling a huge counter-shock force.
Wolf King's body just swayed slightly, and he roared in pain, and the sharp claws followed him like a shadow.
Chen Mochuan turned his right hand into a palm, slapped it on the side of Wolf King's claw, used the force to jump back, connected with his steps, and opened some distance again.
Facing Wolf King's successive attacks, Chen Mochuan remained calm and unflustered.
Thanks to long-term sparring with Han Zhen, Lin Hong and others, as well as dozens of fights with Martial Artist on Heaven Martial Battle Net, he has already become familiar with how to fight against higher-level opponents.
It is not a head-on confrontation, but a wandering, testing, finding rhythm, and using skills and combat wisdom to make up for the gap in strength.
Several rounds of tentative attacks and defenses followed, and Chen Mochuan had already made a preliminary assessment of Wolf King's strength.
Even if he uses Neutralizing Force to relieve his force, every attack from Wolf King will make his arm feel slightly numb. The absolute strength gap between the two sides is obvious, and he must not fight hard. If he is hit directly in the front, he may be seriously injured.
Although the huge Wolf King lacks dexterity, it can sprint very fast in a straight line. His own Thunder-Striding Step has a slight advantage in short bursts and dexterous changes to directions.
At the same time, the strength of the opponent's fur, muscles, and bones are far superior to ordinary Wasteland Wolf, and the defense is also quite good.
Only skills and fighting methods are the only shortcomings of Wolf King, and they are also the key to Chen Mochuan being able to deal with it.
Wolf King's attacks basically rely on the beast's instinct and combat intuition. Although it can often make the most effective killing choices with its keen enough intuition, it lacks systematic martial arts and subtle use of force.
Compared with Martial Artist at the same level, it is much inferior in "skills" and its attack mode is relatively simple, mainly relying on pure strength and physical advantages to crush.
Even though it is not easy to deal with, Chen Mochuan is by no means without room for maneuver or even counterattack.
He quickly clarified his tactics in his mind: mainly dodge, with blocking, parrying, and Neutralizing Force unloading as a supplement. He tried to avoid head-on fights, looked for flaws in the fight, and used his more sophisticated use of strength and martial arts to attack its relatively weak parts.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he saw Wolf King, who had just missed a hit, pounced again with his claws, this time three consecutive claw strikes, coupled with the bite of fangs, the attack was like a violent storm.
Chen Mochuan pushed his body skills to the extreme, moving around in small areas, seemingly surrounded by danger, but he was always able to avoid fatal attacks at the most critical moment.
When it was inevitable, he blocked with Gauntlet and cooperated with Neutralizing Force to dissipate the huge power layer by layer. His body took advantage of the force and drifted back, taking a breath.
He could even seize the opportunity occasionally and hit Wolf King with a punch or leg containing Neutralizing Force, causing the opponent to roar in anger.
Inside the flying carriage in the temporary camp, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed like it could drip water. This fierce and breathtaking fight was shown from multiple angles on the big screen.
"Did he really survive?" A teacher's dry voice finally broke the silence.
Although it is obvious from the picture that Chen Mochuan is at an absolute disadvantage and spends most of the time dodging and maneuvering, it is already a miracle that it can withstand such a violent offensive of First-Order Ferocious Beast for more than two minutes without losing, and can still counterattack from time to time.
"What exquisite body skills and calm judgment!" Another teacher couldn't help but admire, "Every dodge he made was just right, and he hardly wasted any energy on ineffective movements. Such combat intuition and control--is he really a high school student?"
Zhang Shaoze had put away all comparisons and whispered to Han Zhen in a complicated tone, "Old Han, your student's courage is greater than his strength----"
Han Zhen didn't answer. All his attention was tied to the figure on the screen. His fists were clenched tightly and his palms were covered with sweat.
The commander looked serious and was using a communicator in a low voice to contact two protection personnel not far from the battlefield. He was obviously tense for this battle that exceeded expectations.
The battle continues.
In the wilderness, one chases and one escapes, one attacks and one defends, the dull sound of impact, the scream of sharp claws tearing the air, the roar of Wolf King and the steady breathing of Chen Mochuan are intertwined.
Chen Mochuan, who was under tremendous pressure, gradually became better in this extreme state.
In my mind, many martial arts insights absorbed through "Spirit Devourer" in the past were quickly absorbed under this extreme pressure.
Digest it and integrate it into his own combat system.
This makes his use of body skills more subtle, his control of boxing skills more comfortable, and his grasp of timing more acute.
The Recovery Potion taken in advance also continued to work, replenishing the consumed energy and blood, allowing him to maintain this high-intensity confrontation.
However, the danger is always present.
Every attack of Wolf King is extremely deadly. The sharp claws can open monuments Stone Splitting, and the fangs can break gold and chew iron. Chen Mochuan must concentrate on dealing with it, pushing the perception to the extreme, and predicting the angle and subsequent changes of each attack.
After Wolf King's seemingly ordinary attack was avoided by Chen Mochuan's side sliding step, its huge body showed unexpected flexibility, its waist and abdomen suddenly twisted, and its thick forelimbs thrust towards Chen Mochuan's chest and abdomen from bottom to top at an extremely tricky angle!
This change of move was so fast that Chen Mochuan felt alarm bells ringing in his heart, but it was too late to escape unscathed!
In the flash of lightning, he made a quick decision, his footwork changed sharply, his body retreated sideways and backwards, and at the same time, he punched downwards with both fists.
"Tsk--!"
The wolf's claws swung away Chen Mochuan's hurried fists with great force. There was only a slight delay, but they still slashed across his left rib!
The specially made Protective Vest made an overwhelming tearing sound, three claw marks instantly appeared on the surface, and the buffer layer of the inner lining was almost penetrated!
Huge power penetrated his body, Chen Mochuan groaned, and a burning pain came from his ribs, making him gasp for air.
But he endured the discomfort, kept his steps steady, and immediately calmly took advantage of the situation to put some distance between himself and Wolf King.
Fortunately, with the buffer of the double-fist attack, Protective Vest offset most of the direct cutting damage and impact. The <Tiger Roar Body-Forging Technique> practiced by Chen Mochuan also came into play at this moment. The strong muscle fascia further buffered the force, leaving only three long and narrow wounds on his body, without damaging the inside.
The powerful Mental Power not only gave Chen Mochuan extraordinary perception, but also reached another level of control over the body. He immediately restrained the muscles around the wound to a small extent to slow down the bleeding rate.
For Chen Mochuan, who had experienced countless "deaths" of Mind Martial Drill, this flesh wound was far from affecting his combat effectiveness. Instead, it aroused the ferocity in his bones.
"Come!"
Chen Mochuan gave a low drink, his eyes became more intense, and he took the initiative to rush towards Wolf King.
"There's blood!" someone shouted in the command center.
Seeing Chen Mochuan retreating after being hit, Han Zhen's heart twitched suddenly, but he was relieved a little when he saw that he quickly stabilized his body, his eyes were still sharp, and it seemed that the injury was not serious.
Zhang Shaoze, who was staring at the screen, had a thought in his mind, "He----seems to have practiced Hard-Body Training?"
In the confrontation between one man and one wolf, Chen Mochuan was not beaten blindly. In the gaps between Wolf King's attacks, his counterattacks were equally fierce.
Embracing the fists and feet of Neutralizing Force and Spirit Power, it would occasionally seize the tiny pauses between Wolf King's moves and bombard its body, especially its joints and flanks, which received "key care".
Although it was difficult to cause serious damage, it left several bloody wounds on Wolf King's body, and his gray-blond hair was stained with red marks.
Wolf King Under the pain, his ferocity was completely aroused, and his attacks became more and more violent, but the anger in his eyes was also faintly mixed with the irritability of being constantly "bitten".
