First Battle with a Beast Warlord

Hearing this, the group moved to Wu Hao's position and looked in the direction he indicated.

Several hundred meters away, inside a shop, a Tiger Mastiff was gnawing on the corpse of a Bloodthirsty Tank.

Judging by the Tiger Mastiff's size, they could roughly determine that it was only a Junior Beast Warlord.

Zhang Yi looked at Xiao Yang beside him and asked.

"Xiao Yang, can you handle this Tiger Mastiff?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yang agreed immediately.

"No problem. Leave it to me."

A Junior Beast Warlord-level Tiger Mastiff was nothing in his eyes.

The group did not hesitate either. They headed downstairs and rushed toward the Tiger Mastiff.

The Tiger Mastiff was only a few hundred meters from the high-rise where they stood.

At their speed, they arrived in less than two minutes.

The few of them watched the Tiger Mastiff in the distant shop without making a sound.

Zhang Yi gave Xiao Yang a meaningful look.

Seeing this, Xiao Yang immediately focused his Psychic Power beneath his feet and slowly rose into the air.

After acquiring Psychic Power, he had made a few modifications to his combat suit and boots.

He had added metal to certain parts of his suit and boots.

This made him more agile in flight.

Xiao Yang silently flew toward the Tiger Mastiff.

However, the Tiger Mastiff's sense of smell was far too sharp!

Before Xiao Yang could even approach it, it had already caught his scent.

It stopped gnawing on the Bloodthirsty Tank's corpse and warily looked in Xiao Yang's direction.

Seeing Xiao Yang flying toward it, the Tiger Mastiff immediately assumed a fighting stance.

It arched its body, watching Xiao Yang vigilantly as every hair on its back stood on end.

"Roar!"

The Tiger Mastiff seemed to have sensed that Xiao Yang was not someone to be trifled with.

Thus, instead of attacking immediately, it let out a warning growl.

But Xiao Yang still did not take it seriously.

Ignoring the Tiger Mastiff's warning, he continued flying toward it.

As Xiao Yang drew closer and closer, the Tiger Mastiff could no longer remain calm.

"Roar!"

After letting out an angry roar, it decided to strike first.

The car-sized Tiger Mastiff charged straight at Xiao Yang.

When it was only a few meters away from Xiao Yang, the Tiger Mastiff suddenly kicked off the ground and pounced at him.

Xiao Yang remained extremely calm.

Although he had not fought a Beast Warlord these past few days,

he had already killed quite a few Beast Soldiers and seen plenty of monsters.

So, facing this Tiger Mastiff now, he was not particularly nervous.

Xiao Yang also knew that his strength surpassed its own.

He calmly watched the Tiger Mastiff pouncing toward him.

Then, Xiao Yang flicked his spear.

The Tiger Mastiff's claw, which had been swiping at him, was knocked aside by the spear.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Yang shifted his body and dodged the Tiger Mastiff.

Not only that, he took advantage of the opportunity to thrust his spear into the Tiger Mastiff's vulnerable rear.

Pfft!

A large amount of blood sprayed from behind the Tiger Mastiff.

"Awooo—"

"Whine, whine, whine!"

The Tiger Mastiff immediately let out a pained wail.

Although Xiao Yang was the one responsible, he still felt a chill down his back.

He instinctively clenched his legs together.

However, Xiao Yang did not let such a good opportunity slip away.

Taking advantage of the Tiger Mastiff's severe injury, Xiao Yang did not hesitate and stepped forward to deliver another thrust!

A Junior Beast Warlord-level Tiger Mastiff died just like that before them.

Zhang Yi and the others walked over as well.

"Not bad. You killed that Tiger Mastiff very easily."

"You did not even use the Force-Exertion Secret Art. You merely attacked its weak point and killed it."

"That was very good!"

The others were also very satisfied with Xiao Yang's performance.

The monsters they had encountered on the way were too weak to test Xiao Yang's combat ability at all.

This battle allowed them to see Xiao Yang's combat instincts.

Though still somewhat inexperienced, he was already very impressive for a rookie entering the Wilderness Area for the first time.

Xiao Yang had excellent control over combat.

He was also skilled at finding his enemies' weaknesses.

Even some veterans might not have done much better.

"Alright, Wu Hao, hurry up and harvest the materials. We need to leave first."

The smell of blood here was rather strong, and they were still within the city.

So they could not remain here for too long.

Although Xiao Yang had killed quite a few Beast Soldiers on the way here, their value had been too low, so they had not asked him to harvest materials.

Thus, Xiao Yang was still unfamiliar with harvesting materials.

That was why Zhang Yi had Wu Hao do it.

Wu Hao took out a small knife and, in just a few strokes, harvested all the materials from the Tiger Mastiff.

"Xiao Yang, catch."

He casually tossed the harvested materials to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang did not stand on ceremony and put them directly into his backpack.

Once the materials had been harvested, Zhang Yi led everyone back to the small building from earlier.

"Alright, although Xiao Yang did well this time, his methods were still somewhat immature."

"Just now, you had quite a few options. You could even have killed the Tiger Mastiff in a single strike."

"Lü Hong, teach him."

Zhang Yi spoke directly to Lü Hong.

Lü Hong himself used a spear.

He had fought countless battles in the Wilderness Area and possessed extensive experience with the spear.

Although he did not cultivate World Annihilation, he still had plenty of spear techniques he could teach Xiao Yang.

Lü Hong did not hold anything back. He walked over to Xiao Yang and explained what he would have done in that situation.

If it had been Lü Hong, he could have killed the Tiger Mastiff in a single blow using far less strength.

Xiao Yang did not think himself invincible.

He had originally been an ordinary person, so his experience hunting monsters was certainly nowhere near that of these Martial Warriors.

Thus, he listened very attentively.

Whenever he encountered something he did not understand, he would not hide it just to save face.

The others secretly nodded at Xiao Yang's attitude.

A genius without the slightest arrogance, unwilling to pretend he understood something just because he was too embarrassed to ask.

This made them recognize Xiao Yang even more.

Soon, not long after Lü Hong finished explaining, they found another solitary Junior Beast Warlord.

In a large city like this, even in the outskirts, there were quite a few solitary Junior Beast Warlords.

On their first day in City 092, they did not immediately search for prey. Instead, they specifically sought out Junior Beast Warlords to train Xiao Yang's practical combat ability.

Xiao Yang's rate of improvement was also extremely fast.

After several battles, his techniques became increasingly refined.

Now, when facing Junior Beast Warlords, he could kill them in a single strike most of the time!

After seeing Xiao Yang's terrifying rate of improvement, the group decided to start searching for suitable prey to hunt.
