This Guy Seems a Little Weak (Please Keep Reading! Please Favorite!)

The jackal stared fixedly at Qian Chaoguang, who held a blade before it, circling in place with constant little steps.

Old Butler said, "This is a Wind Jackal, a small Soul Beast known for its speed. This one has about twenty years of cultivation. Remember, canine Soul Beasts all have copper heads, iron bones, and tofu waists. Find the weak point and face it calmly. It's no match for the two of you."

Qian Chaoguang answered, his eyes likewise fixed hard on the Wind Jackal before him.

He could clearly feel his adrenaline pumping wildly, his blood flowing faster, his heart pounding like a war drum.

He was completely excited now!

After years of bitter study, he finally had the chance to fight for real today!

The Wind Jackal was somewhat irritable by nature and had no patience. It let out a piercing cry, kicked off the ground with all four limbs, and lunged straight at Qian Chaoguang.

As a twenty-year Soul Beast, this Wind Jackal did not possess much intelligence.

But its instincts told it that the two-legged beast before it had no Soul Power Fluctuation on him and was weaker than itself!

Qian Chaoguang reacted with incredible speed, already moving the instant the Wind Jackal did.

He lowered his body, both hands gripping the hilt tightly at his side, the tip of the blade angled upward toward one side.

The muscles throughout his body tensed, and his whole person was like a tightly wound spinning top, ready to burst into motion.

A green cyclone rose around the Wind Jackal in midair.

This move not only changed its landing point, but also increased its own speed by another fraction.

"Left side, be careful!"

Huo Yutong's Spirit Eye had already seen through the opponent's movement trajectory, and she loudly warned Qian Chaoguang.

Facing the Soul Beast that was close at hand, Qian Chaoguang was incomparably calm.

The long blade swept up from below, slashing fiercely toward the upper left.

The blade drew an icy-blue crescent through the air.

Qian Chaoguang did not stop moving and continued rotating his body and arms.

The long blade traced a figure eight in the air, once again rising from below and fiercely following up with a second slash toward the upper right.

Two lightning-fast strikes were completed in the blink of an eye.

This was a blade technique movement he had practiced bitterly for many years. It had already been carved into his bones, becoming muscle memory.

The thought had only just flashed through his mind when his body rapidly responded on its own.

Watching from behind, Huo Yutong widened her mouth in shock.

She only felt as if two streaks of blue light had crossed the air.

With two soft pfft sounds, that vicious Wind Jackal had already disintegrated into four pieces in midair.

A shower of blood fell to the ground along with shattered internal organs.

Qian Chaoguang, sensing something was wrong, dodged aside in advance, avoiding being drenched all over.

Old Butler stared at the scene before him in utter shock, simply unable to believe his eyes.

A twenty-year Wind Jackal could put even elite soldiers in the army in danger, yet his own grandson had killed it instantly with two strikes?

Although he had always known that Qian Chaoguang had innate Divine Power, this was still far too shocking.

Right now, he was still a six-year-old child with only rank-one soul power!

Qian Chaoguang flicked the long blade, and beads of blood slid off the coldly gleaming blade.

"This Wind Jackal doesn't seem very strong, but why was I able to cut its body apart directly? The blade isn't that long, is it?"

Old Butler led the tightly frowning Huo Yutong forward to examine the Wind Jackal's corpse.

A white Spirit Ring floated above the flesh and blood, giving off a faint glow.

"Hiss... The cuts are clean and neat, and both strikes passed through weak points in the bones. Little Guang, these three years of practice really weren't wasted. Your eye and wrist strength are impressive."

At this moment, Huo Yutong's eyes were already full of little stars as she looked at Qian Chaoguang.

"Chaoguang Gege is amazing!"

Qian Chaoguang smiled shyly and did not dwell on the question from before. He wiped the blade with a cloth, slid it back into the sheath on his back, and looked regretfully at the ten-year Spirit Ring.

"What a pity. A Spirit Ring was wasted, and I ruined the pelt too."

Old Butler casually nudged it twice with his foot and said, "Killing Soul Beasts in self-defense during a soul hunt is very normal. It's fine as long as you don't deliberately slaughter them. Things like Soul Beast body materials are somewhat useless to Spirit Masters and aren't worth much money. Normally, only some Soul Beasts above ten thousand years have any value for collection."

"Then what do we do now? Just leave it here?"

Huo Yutong hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

Watching a living life vanish before her eyes like this, she felt somewhat unable to bear it, and also somewhat wanted to vomit.

Qian Chaoguang, however, did not feel much of anything. There was not even the slightest ripple in his heart.

In his previous life, when he helped out in the back kitchen of the martial arts school, he had helped slaughter pigs quite a few times. He had seen this kind of scene plenty, and he was even more familiar with cutting up meat.

Besides, if you came to attack me and I killed you, that was perfectly justified. There was nothing particularly cruel or not cruel about it.

Old Butler understood Huo Yutong's current feelings very well and stroked her head with his large hand.

"Just leave it here. We still need to keep looking for a suitable Psychic Soul Beast. Nature is survival of the fittest. As Spirit Masters, killing soul beasts is perfectly natural, so there's no need to dwell on it too much."

After briefly sensing their surroundings, Old Butler gestured for Qian Chaoguang to head in another direction.

"Let's go. Wind Jackals are pack animals. The smell of blood here will soon draw in its kin."

After leaving that troublesome place behind, the three of them once again set out on the path to find a Psychic Soul Beast.

The two children's practical combat training and Old Butler's little wilderness lessons proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Over the course of the day, they encountered several soul beasts of various types in succession.

There were both ten-year and hundred-year ones, with ten-year soul beasts making up the majority.

After Qian Chaoguang instantly killed another ten-year soul beast, he did not make another move.

Soul beasts under a hundred years old were far too weak. With his raw strength and the exquisite saber skills he had honed over many years, he could basically kill them the moment they met.

Soul beasts over a hundred years old could still stir a bit of interest in him and make him take the fight seriously.

Huo Yutong also tried using the White Tiger Dagger to fight ten-year soul beasts several times.

With the enhancement of her Spirit Eye and Old Butler's guidance, she improved extremely quickly.

From the panic of her first battle to facing enemies with steadiness and calm, it took her only four fights.

In her fifth battle, she was even able to kill a ten-year soul beast on her own without taking any injuries.

For a six-year-old girl who looked cute, soft, and harmless to both humans and animals, this was nothing short of a miracle.

At dusk, the three of them set up tents in the forest to rest.

With Old Butler's formidable strength backing them up, they did not need to gnaw on cold dry rations. They could start a campfire and eat a hot meal.

"Here we go. Tonight, we'll have fish."

By the little river, Old Butler merely slapped the surface of the water a few times at random and easily sent several big fish flying up.

This species of fish, unique to Douluo Continent, had few bones and plenty of meat. It was a rare ingredient to come by when camping in the wild.

Qian Chaoguang casually killed the big fish, gutted them, scraped off their scales, and removed the tendons. Then he took out some sharpened wooden sticks from his Storage Ring, skewered the fish, and handed them to Huo Yutong.

After that, he took out a roasting tray with an iron mesh, skillfully added charcoal, lit the fire, and also pulled out a pile of bottles and jars filled with seasonings.

Huo Yutong did not hesitate either. She evenly rubbed all kinds of powders over the inside and outside of the fish, tore off a few Perilla leaves and placed them inside the fish bellies, then deftly set them on the iron mesh.

The entire sequence of movements flowed smoothly in one breath, leaving Old Butler watching from the side in a daze.

With the tacit cooperation between these two, it was obvious at a glance that they had done this plenty of times before!

I kind of want to set a flag and do something if this can make it onto Sanjiang.

In recent years, there basically hasn't been a single Douluo fanfic that made it onto Sanjiang. I'm of a mind to challenge it and give it a try.

Let's forget about crossdressing. I already did that once when Pit God gave a Alliance Master reward for my last book, and besides, my crossdressing is honestly an eyesore. The brothers in the group have all seen it.

How about something simple and unpretentious, like sending red packets and mass releases?
