Flat Blade Style Carving

"Die!"

Luo Feng did not intend to waste any time. With a low growl, he shot forward like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for the Four-Tailed Tiger Cat.

Within the gravity field, a ring of earthy-yellow light pulsed beneath Luo Feng's feet, ensuring his own speed remained completely unaffected.

The Iron-Armored Battle Blade in his hand instantly traced a cold arc, slashing directly toward the vulnerable neck of the Four-Tailed Tiger Cat.

But just as Luo Feng drew near—Swish!

A black shadow lashed out toward his head.

"So fast."

Luo Feng was startled, forcing his feet to push off the ground as he barely twisted his body to dodge the shadow.

That shadow was none other than the terrifying claw of the Four-Tailed Tiger Cat!

"This beast is clever; it actually tried to trade life for life. And in just this short time, it seems to have adapted to the Level 5 Gravity Art, its movement speed significantly faster than before."

Indeed, trying to deal with a High-Level Beast General Rank monster using only a Level 5 Gravity Art was certainly unrealistic.

However, Luo Feng had never expected this gravity technique to do much; he only needed it to provide a slight deceleration.

Otherwise, given his own Intermediate War General Level speed, it would be difficult to handle the Four-Tailed Tiger Cat, which was renowned for its speed even among High-Level Beast Generals.

But for the sake of better honing his skills, Luo Feng naturally did not want to weaken the Four-Tailed Tiger Cat too severely.

If he used a Level 6 Gravity Art to suppress the cat's speed, it would be a slaughter, offering no training value whatsoever.

This level of intensity was just right; it brought immense pressure upon him without allowing the Four-Tailed Tiger Cat to be easily crushed.

Having gradually adapted to the gravity, the agility of the Four-Tailed Tiger Cat soared, and it took the initiative to lunge fiercely at Luo Feng.

Its thick tiger paws and sharp claws swiped directly at him.

"Damn, this Four-Tailed Tiger Cat is too fast. After adapting to the Level 5 gravity field, its speed is much faster than mine."

Luo Feng immediately took a step back, and as the power of the cat's strike began to wane, he seized the moment to thrust his shield forward.

"Boom!"

The shield collided violently with the tiger's paw. At the moment of impact, Luo Feng used the rebound force to quickly flip backward, rolling on the ground to dissipate the momentum.

The Four-Tailed Tiger Cat, however, pursued him at high speed. It had already realized that this human's close-quarters combat ability was lacking, nowhere near his Spiritual Telekinesis.

If it could take advantage of this human's arrogance to kill him, that would be ideal.

This was the best opportunity the Four-Tailed Tiger Cat had seen.

Watching the rapidly approaching beast, Luo Feng felt calm. When the tiger paw swiped again, he acted.

At that moment, Luo Feng's body rotated with the grace of a butterfly, dodging the claw with exquisite precision.

While rotating, Luo Feng used the momentum of the spin to instantly strike with his Iron-Armored Battle Blade!

"Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, explode!"

The blade light of the Iron-Armored Battle Blade accelerated rapidly along an arc!

Then, the second layer of force erupted. Luo Feng attempted to unleash a third layer, but he was still just a hair short.

"Pfft!"

Fast as lightning, this spinning strike slashed directly into the neck of the Four-Tailed Tiger Cat.

"Squelch~~"

But at the critical moment, the cat's quick reflexes saved its life; it twisted its head violently, preventing the blade from cutting too deep.

Bright red blood seeped out.

"Awoo~~"

The blood ignited the cat's killing intent. Its eyes turned blood-red, and the wounded Four-Tailed Tiger Cat went completely berserk.

It no longer cared if this human was strong or if he was a Spiritual Telekinetic, nor did it think about escaping. At this moment, only one thought remained in its mind: to kill the human before it.

The Four-Tailed Tiger Cat lunged, opening its massive maw in an attempt to tear Luo Feng apart.

The wounded beast's eyes glowed with madness, and its movements became even more agile.

Amidst low, guttural roars, the Four-Tailed Tiger Cat charged at Luo Feng again and again like a bolt of lightning.

Paws, jaws, tail—its attacks were relentless and continuous.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

"This is exactly the state I wanted."

As the battle progressed, Luo Feng grew excited. Although it looked like he was narrowly escaping death with every dodge, he began to truly enjoy the process.

With each elegant evasion, the Four-Tailed Tiger Cat's attacks missed his body by mere centimeters.

Yet, those few centimeters were like an unbridgeable chasm, ensuring that no matter how crazed the Four-Tailed Tiger Cat became, it could not land a single scratch on Luo Feng.

During this process, the Movement Technique of Luo Feng was progressing rapidly.

At the same time, he was summarizing the flaws of that last strike in his mind.

Finally, he did not know how much time had passed.

Luo Feng, who had been dodging without launching an active attack, suddenly had his eyes light up.

The next moment, he struck out with his blade!

The Iron-Armored Battle Blade in Luo Feng's hand descended in a swift, vertical slash from high above!

It carried a piercing, shrill whistle.

The first, the second, the third...

Watching this swift strike, the Four-Tailed Tiger Cat also sensed the arrival of death; its survival instinct caused its four tiger paws to exert force suddenly, attempting to dodge Luo Feng's blade.

However... Luo Feng's strike was too sudden, and too fast.

The next second, only the sound of the battle blade entering flesh could be heard.

"Ssh--"

A tiger head over a meter long was cleaved clean off, and the massive Four-Tailed Tiger Cat collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Still a tiny bit off; the third layer was almost released, what a pity."

Luo Feng looked at the massive tiger head before him and sighed with some regret.

"However, after half a month of honing, it is time to leave this place."

Immediately, Luo Feng began to skillfully collect his spoils of war.

"Hm?"

Looking at the light orb dropped by the Four-Tailed Tiger Cat, Luo Feng was pleasantly surprised.

[Flat Blade Carving Technique: Cultivates the body and nature; once proficient in carving, one can rapidly increase mental power.]

"I didn't expect it to drop the unique mental cultivation method of the Saint Realm magus Doering-Kowart from the Coiling Dragon world."

Although this Flat Blade Carving Technique only involved carving rock.

This was truly a good thing; it cultivated the body and nature, and could subtly improve one's own mental will. Once proficient, carving would not only become a relaxing and leisurely activity, but it could also rapidly enhance one's own mental power.

At the same time, the process of stone carving was actually a process of one's own mental power becoming closer to the Earth Element, which also had certain benefits for comprehending the Laws of Earth in the future.

This Flat Blade Carving Technique did not appear in the form of a book, but just as a small light orb; Luo Feng tried placing this small light orb in front of his forehead.

The next moment, the small light orb vanished.

Instantly, the methods of the Flat Blade Carving Technique were imprinted into his mind.

Of course, to become proficient in the Flat Blade Carving Technique, Luo Feng would still have to rely on himself to carve more in the future.

Afterward, Luo Feng tidied up the other nearly one hundred ordinary tiger cats.

He skillfully stripped away the valuable materials from their bodies.

In addition, these ordinary tiger cats also dropped three pieces of equipment.

"All packed up, time to report to the family that I'm safe."

While out and about, Luo Feng often kept in touch with his family by phone to avoid making his parents worry.
