Chapter 242: Chapter 75 Rookie and the Path of the Wolf_4

Mu Qingliu exclaimed, "Look over there, quick!"

Even in the midst of battle, Jifeng Zhiyin and Deceitful Fox instinctively turned to look in the direction of the Wolf Essence Captain.

Gale Saber Technique—Fourteen Consecutive Slashes!

This time, without using One Cut, Two Pieces, a dance of blades was enough to slay the half-blooded Wolf Essence Captain.

A few seconds later—Puchi! Xiao Jie appeared behind the Wolf Essence Captain as if he had teleported, his blade tracing a splendid arc through the air, slicing cleanly through the captain.

In an instant, fourteen attacks completed their damage calculations.

It was as if a single slash had produced countless Sword Qi, with blood spray bursting from the Wolf Essence Captain’s body, turning it instantly into pieces of flesh.

This!

Holy shit!

That’s freaking amazing!

All three of them were stunned, and it wasn’t until Xiong Da let out a mighty roar that they snapped back to their senses and continued their fight against the Wolf Soldiers.

[System Prompt: You have killed the Wolf Essence Captain, you have gained 875 Experience Points, you have leveled up.]

Not bad, not bad, killing an elite halfway and coincidentally leveling up.

Xiao Jie promptly picked up the Equipment dropped by the Wolf Essence Captain and immediately charged towards the remaining Wolf Soldiers, but these soldiers were also cunning; upon seeing their leader fall, they howled and scattered in all directions, fleeing. The three men and one bear fought desperately, and with Xiao Jie’s interception, they managed to only leave behind five or six.

A few still got away though.

"You guys alright?" Xiao Jie casually asked.

"Thank you, expert big brother, you were so cool just now!" Jifeng Zhiyin exclaimed excitedly.

Deceitful Fox looked forward with anticipation, "See, that’s the power of Martial Arts. When we get to town, we’ll have to learn something like that too, that’s what we need to learn."

Mu Qingliu: "Regret Medicine! Black and White Chess!"

Then they all came back to their senses.

"How are you guys doing?"

How are we doing, waiting to die, what else?" came the sound of Regret Medicine’s voice tinged with a sobbing tone.

"Each man has his destiny; maybe this is ours. Who told us to play this game?" Black and White Chess sounded surprisingly calm, despite his downcast voice, and unexpectedly without excessive agitation.

"Damn, aren’t you taking this a little too easy, kid, we..."

"Actually, I haven’t told you something. I was diagnosed with a terminal illness, not many good years left, so death, well, so be it."

"But I don’t want to die."

Regret Medicine continued to wallow in self-pity, as if doing so could alleviate some of the fear, while Black and White Chess had already started discussing their last wishes.

"Don’t worry about us anymore, you guys still have your own paths to walk. Jifeng Zhiyin, you must master the Supreme Divine Skill, Deceitful Fox, you must perfect your Spell, maybe in the future you’ll learn a Resurrection Spell and you can bring us back to life.

Mu Qingliu, my girl, I’ve always wanted to tell you, I kind of liked you, and was hoping to meet you offline someday, but whatever..."

The three survivors didn’t know what to say.

Xiao Jie couldn’t hear their conversation but noticed they had suddenly gone quiet.

He glanced at the two bodies on the ground and guessed something, but he didn’t intrude and simply opened his backpack to check the loot.

The Wolf Essence Captain dropped two items.

The first one was a core.

[Deteriorated Wolf Demon Core (Material)

Usage: Can be used as an Alchemy Material.

Direct consumption: Restores 543 Mana and randomly triggers a DEBUFF.

Item Introduction: An inner core of the Demon Race that failed to form properly due to insufficient Spiritual Energy, containing only weak Spiritual Energy. With the descent of the great calamity that dispersed nature’s spiritual energy, it is said that many from the Demon Race lost the possibility of Transformation, becoming an awkward existence stuck in a state between half-human and half-beast.]

This... this thing is indeed a bit awkward, material huh, it’s even degraded, don’t know whether it can sell for some silver.

But the core contains Spiritual Energy... wonder if it will come in handy after switching to Qi Refiner.

The second item, however, is a scroll.

[Running Wolf Slash (Combat Technique Scroll)

Learning requirements: Strength 20, Agility 30, Beast Knowledge: Wolf.

Item Introduction: A scroll made of wolf skin that contains records of combat techniques, appearing to be a special Combat Technique that mimics the battle movements of beasts and requires some understanding of beasts to master.]

Huh, this thing is quite peculiar, didn’t expect that a Wolf Spirit would drop a specialized Combat Skill.

Just leveled up, Xiao Jie added all 5 Attribute points to Strength and tried to double-click it, and he actually learned it directly.

Wait, don’t I also lack [Beast Knowledge: Wolf]... He opened his Beast Study with curiosity.

Sheep, dog, pig, horse, bear...

Indeed, there was no wolf, but wait—could it be interchangeable with [Beast Knowledge: Dog]?

Well, it does make some sense, since wolves and dogs are from the same family after all.

He checked the newly learned Combat Skill.

[Running Wolf Slash (Combat Skill)

Applicable weapons: One-handed Blade, Two-handed Blade.

Skill consumption: 100 Energy.

Skill Effect: A leap followed by a spinning somersault results in a fierce falling slash, dealing 360% of weapon damage, and converting the damage type from a chop to a slash, causing a 200% reducing resilience effect.

Skill Description: A special Combat Technique created by Wolf King Chi Mei Jian based on the movement habits of Wolf Demons, said to originate from the motions and spirit of wolves leaping through the forests. Paired with Knife Weapons, it can yield tremendous destructive power.]

Not bad, slashing damage inherently comes with Armor-Piercing, reducing resilience effects, which is way more useful than chop damage. Generally, only Giant Axes carry slashing damage, very effective against Heavy Armor Units and can also be used for control.

Too bad the One-handed Blade isn’t great with reducing resilience, this move doesn’t really fit, it’s a wasted opportunity. If I could get my hands on a two-handed broadsword in the future, it would be quite suitable when used in combination.
