But Brian White didn’t feel any sense of oppression at all. It was as if what was pouncing on him wasn’t a ferocious, starving wolf, but a little kitten.

Without thinking, Brian White kicked the black wolf in the belly. The black wolf whimpered and landed several yards away. As it flew off, it tore open Brian White’s chest.

Life: 1875/1900.

Pain! Brian White gritted his teeth and let out a low groan, but his fear had lessened considerably.

When the black wolf pounced again, Brian White was much calmer. In terms of strength and speed, this wolf had no advantage at all.

Seizing the opportunity, Brian White grabbed the black wolf’s head and squeezed hard.

Crack—

The wolf struggled a few times, then stopped moving. Brian White casually tossed aside the wolf’s corpse and turned his gaze to the pack of wolves that had emerged from the forest.

This time, it wasn’t just one wolf pouncing, but three vicious wolves at once. Brian White raised his hand and grabbed one, while his other arm was already bitten by another wolf.

Time to go all out! Ignoring the pain, Brian White swung the wolf in his hand at the one biting his arm, and at the same time kicked away the third wolf that had just arrived.

This time, Brian White struck with full force and ferocity, instantly killing all three wolves.

Life: 1848/1090.

Brian White wiped the blood off his hand. The injuries weren’t serious and didn’t affect him much.

Most importantly, the loss of life points wasn’t severe. It felt just like a high-level player slaughtering low-level monsters.

Such a loss of health was hardly worth mentioning.

After seeing three more of their companions fall, the pack of wolves finally launched an all-out attack.

This time, the number of wolves surrounding Brian White was no longer in the single digits—over a dozen starving wolves attacked at once.

Brian White had underestimated the ferocity of this pack. One or two wolves couldn’t threaten him, but with more than ten attacking at the same time, the damage was significant.

Brian White started to get anxious. By the time he punched the ninth starving wolf to the ground, his life: 880/1090.

Due to his injuries, the baleful energy in his body also began to accumulate, 13/100.

Unbeknownst to him, Brian White’s true qi was growing again.

Gained 1 point of true qi...

Gained 1 point of true qi...

As his true qi increased, Brian White’s strength grew greater and greater, to the point where he could almost kill a starving wolf with a single punch.

Suddenly, a surge of power welled up inside Brian White.

Gained 1 point of true qi...

Brian White’s true qi finally reached 100 points, and his internal cultivation advanced to Postnatal Stage 2.

Cultivation Level: Postnatal Stage 2.

Internal Skill: "Xuanhu Jishi Gong," lower first grade, growth value 1/1/2.

Life: 1800/2000.

Internal Power: 1000/1000.

True Qi: 100/500.

Baleful Energy: 1/100.

Constitution: 100+100.

Strength: 100+100.

Speed: 100+200.

Comprehension: 16+2.

This time, aside from the slight attribute increase from advancing from Stage 1 to Stage 2, his comprehension also increased by 1 point.

The pack of starving wolves seemed to sense the change in Brian White. An innate sense of fear spread among them.

Suddenly, a high-pitched howl rang out from the back of the pack, and a gigantic, ferocious wolf leapt out of the forest at lightning speed.

This giant wolf was twice the size of the others, and its strength and speed were several times greater.

By the faint light, Brian White could vaguely see a bloody glow on the giant wolf’s body, as if it bore some wounds.

“Is this the one that injured Logan Warren?”

While Brian White was pondering, the giant wolf had already knocked him to the ground. Its strength was on par with his, but its speed was a bit inferior.

At lightning speed, Brian White grabbed the giant wolf’s lower jaw and pushed upward with all his might.

The giant wolf howled in pain and raked its claws across Brian White’s chest, tearing off large chunks of flesh and blood.

Life: 1799/2000.

Baleful Energy: 8/100.

With just one attack, Brian White lost over 1,000 life points, and his baleful energy increased by 8 points.

Brian White’s body sprang up. This time, he switched from defense to offense, pouncing onto the giant wolf and punching it in the eye.

The giant wolf staggered, barely able to stand, and Brian White clamped its body tightly with his legs, landing another punch on its forehead.

This giant wolf was a Stage 2 Li Wolf. Although Brian White was also Stage 2, the giant wolf’s strength was on par with his. The main issue was that the growth rate of Xuanhu Gong’s power was too low.

Brian White didn’t dare let his guard down. He kept punching, again and again, until the giant wolf collapsed to the ground, blood oozing from its mouth, nose, and ears.

Only then did he get off the giant wolf, not forgetting to give it two more kicks before turning his gaze to the wolf pack.

The wolves cried out in alarm and, after a howl, scattered in all directions.

No matter how fearless they were, seeing their leader beaten down scared them out of their wits.

“Looks like these wolves will be enough food for a few days.” Brian White checked his injuries—they weren’t too serious.

Besides, with Xuanhu Gong protecting his body, these wounds would eventually be converted into internal true qi, so for Brian White, it might not be a bad thing.

On the contrary, after this battle, his cultivation had advanced another level, making him extremely excited.

Brian White glanced at the giant wolf, then at the dozen or so wolves on the ground. He picked out two of the largest, plus the giant wolf, slung them over his shoulder, and headed back the way he came.
