Free Web NovelChapter 8: Chapter 7: Great Battle with the Gale Wolf King
The Gale Wolf Pack was now poised and ready, preparing to charge the human before them!
"AWOOOO~!"
At the silver Gale Wolf King’s command, countless powerful figures formed ranks and then shot forward like lightning. One by one, the Gale Wolves, under the Gale Wolf King’s direction, launched an orderly assault on Tang Yi, wave after wave, surging like a tide.
Faced with so many Gale Wolves, such a disciplined and orderly attack, and with a Gale Wolf King lurking in the darkness behind him, waiting for a chance to ambush—if Tang Yi were an ordinary person, even a One-star Battle Master, his only fate would be to be captured without a fight.
But was Tang Yi an ordinary person?
No, he had the Battle God System!
’The best defense is a good offense!’
"Very well. Let’s have you test the might of my Finishing Move."
Tang Yi took a few steps back to ensure the Gale Wolf Pack was within a 10 by 10-meter area around him. Then, making a grasping motion with his right hand, he activated the Skill.
’Tang Yi wasn’t sure why he had to make that grasping motion. Maybe this Skill was originally meant to be used with a Weapon?’
Shaking off the thought, Tang Yi had already balled his left hand into a fist at his waist. He raised his right hand, still in a grasping motion, high into the air, leaped, and then smashed it heavily onto the ground before him.
"Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash!"
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
With Tang Yi as the epicenter, huge fissures accompanied by thunderous rumbles appeared in the ten-by-ten-meter patch of land before him. Searing magma erupted from the cracks, and torrents of deep red flames swept across the area like a hurricane.
The entire area covered by the Skill became like a small furnace. The temperature skyrocketed, and black smoke filled the sky, making it murky and thick.
Hundreds of Gale Wolves charging toward Tang Yi bore the brunt of the attack. In the blink of an eye, they were devoured by the magma. As the flames washed over them again and again, their powerful bodies were reduced to ashes before they could even let out a cry.
Tree after tree toppled over with a crash from the violent tremors, before being incinerated into ash by the flames.
The scene was horrifying. Everything was a sea of fiery red, and the scorching air was thick with the stench of burning.
A moment later, everything calmed down.
The fissures in the ground sealed themselves shut. The magma turned into pools of clear water that seeped into the earth, and the flames dwindled into wisps of green smoke.
If not for the thick layer of black soot left on the ground and the volatile, scorching heat still lingering in the air, it would have seemed as if nothing had happened at all.
"Hiss~"
Even Tang Yi, the one who had caused it all, couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath at the sight before him.
The once-crowded thicket ahead had been completely cleared out. Forget the Gale Wolves; even the dense bushes and towering trees that had originally grown there had all been turned to ash. Nothing was left...
’How terrifying!’
’This Finishing Move...’
’No wonder it costs 10 Battle God Points!’
As he stood there dazed, Tang Yi was snapped back to his senses by a continuous stream of notification sounds.
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Level 1 Demon Beast, the Gale Wolf. You have gained 50 Experience Value."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Level 1 Demon Beast, the Gale Wolf. You have gained 50 Experience Value."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing a Level 1 Demon Beast, the Gale Wolf. You have gained 50 Experience Value."
...
"Ding."
"Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for leveling up. Current Level: One-star Battle Master."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for completing a 100-hit combo. You have received ten ’Power Pills’."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for completing a 200-hit combo. You have received ten ’Agility Pills’."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing over one hundred Gale Wolves. You have received the Title ’Wolf Slaying Master’."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi. You have received five ’Power Pills’."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi. You have received five ’Agility Pills’."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi. You have received five ’Physical Strength Pills’."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi. You have received five ’Intelligence Pills’."
...
The notification sound for gaining Experience chimed in his mind over two hundred times before it finally stopped.
Tang Yi looked at the dazzling array of rewards in his mind and was practically bursting with joy.
’Even though I only went up one Level, I got thirty Attribute Pills as a reward! And I even got another Earth Tier Martial Technique!’
’These pills that permanently increase Attributes are amazing! If my Power reaches a certain level, won’t smashing mountains and shattering rocks with my bare hands be as easy as child’s play?’
’If my agility reaches a certain level, then with just a slight movement, even without using a Cultivation Technique, others will be left eating my dust, right?’
’Not to mention physical strength and intelligence. When any Attribute reaches a certain point, it brings about a qualitative change.’
’Besides leveling up, they’re the best divine medicine for boosting my strength!’
Tang Yi was overjoyed. Although he felt the sting of losing those 10 Battle God Points, the rewards were ultimately pretty good.
However, just as Tang Yi was about to check the Attributes of the Earth Tier Martial Technique he had just obtained, something unexpected happened.
A silver figure had silently appeared behind Tang Yi, without making the slightest sound.
At this moment, the silver figure’s mouth was slightly agape, its vicious fangs glinting with a sharp, iridescent light. Its silver fur stood on end, a clear expression of its rage.
Its scarlet eyes stared at Tang Yi, emitting a terrifying glow. One could feel its towering hatred and earth-shattering fury in that gaze.
The air itself seemed to be filled with countless terrifying elements, mingling and resonating with the residual violence and scorching heat from moments before.
That’s right. It was the Gale Wolf King, the terrifying king of wolves.
When Tang Yi unleashed his Finishing Move earlier, it had cunningly dodged and gone into hiding.
Now, taking advantage of the moment Tang Yi was checking his rewards with his guard down, it had snuck up behind him.
It was like a silver phantom, silent and traceless. Even after suffering the blow of having its pack annihilated, it had patiently endured, preparing to deal Tang Yi a single, fatal strike.
Its target: Tang Yi’s neck!
It gathered its power and struck!
Gale Wolves were known for their speed, and as the Gale Wolf King, a king among wolves, its speed was even more extreme. Combined with the element of surprise, it closed the distance to threaten Tang Yi in the blink of an eye.
It moved like a fierce wind, striking like a bolt of lightning.
The Gale Wolf King was like a streak of silver light, aiming straight for Tang Yi’s neck!
If Tang Yi remained unaware, what awaited him in the next second was a broken neck and death!
But coincidentally, at that very moment, a "RUSTLE RUSTLE RUSTLE" sound came from behind Tang Yi.
It wasn’t a Gale Wolf. It was the sound of someone rushing toward this location at an extremely high speed, stepping on dry twigs and fallen leaves.
Judging by the sound, they seemed to be quite far away. However, it was precisely this faint noise that made Tang Yi turn his head and see the Gale Wolf King ambushing him!
"Fuck!"
"SHRED~"
"SPURT~"
A flash of silver light, and fresh blood splattered.
