The gray wolf, seeing Henry Carter retreat, let out another whimper from its throat, its tail swinging back and forth like an iron broom, as if venting the pain from the recent collision. Its four hooves quickly followed Henry Carter's retreat, advancing relentlessly.

　　Retreat, retreat, retreat, retreat, retreat!

　　Henry Carter retreated frantically all the way, the hundred meters he had just advanced were now covered in reverse in a short time. The pressure and gravity on his body were halved, and he immediately felt as light as a swallow.

　　Even though there was still double gravity pressing on him, just having it reduced by half made him feel as light as a swallow! Henry Carter couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. If he could stay here for a long time and practice his boxing, then when I go out... wouldn't my speed and agility far surpass all my opponents?

　　Forget it! Better not think about the future! Henry Carter stared at the gray wolf—right now, this was a big problem!

　　The gray wolf saw that Henry Carter was still retreating, and its two strong hind legs suddenly exerted force, launching its body high into the air in a direct pounce! Henry Carter crossed his arms, palms sweeping up from below, using his arms as blades to flip upward. His right foot advanced half a step instead of retreating, his left foot lightly touched down in a slight crouch, and his body shrank downward, dodging the high-leaping gray wolf. His crossed arms, powered by his legs, spun and struck the wolf's belly, and his body and arms pushed forward together!

　　[Iron Scroll of Blade and Shield: Demon Dragon Whips Its Tail!]

　　So heavy! Henry Carter used all his strength, borrowing the wolf's leaping force, and pushed the gray wolf forward with both arms, aiming straight for the distant alchemy furnace!

　　The demon wolf's body was sent flying, its tail like an iron broom lashing heavily at Henry Carter's back!

　　No way to dodge! Henry Carter put all his strength into sending the demon wolf flying, his feet stepping on clouds! The battle shield body-protecting qigong surged throughout his body, and he took the blow with his protective qigong. His back burned with pain, his chest churned with blood and energy, he felt like vomiting blood, his bones felt broken, and his body staggered forward two steps from the impact, finally half-kneeling on the clouds.

　　The gray wolf's body shot forward in midair, its tail strike successful! Its green eyes flashed with pride, but then the high-temperature airwave from the alchemy furnace instantly made its pupils contract, and endless terror erupted from within. Suspended in the air, it flailed its four limbs, trying to land on the clouds, but could not stop its forward momentum.

　　The massive alchemy furnace spewed out rolling waves of heat, blasting directly onto the gray wolf. The fur that could easily withstand Henry Carter's Iron Scroll of Blade and Shield qigong was now as fragile as tissue paper, burning to ashes in an instant.

　　The airwave's impact was even stronger than Henry Carter had imagined. The gray wolf's body, rushing toward the furnace, was blown back by the airwave, landing heavily not far in front of Henry Carter's feet, emitting a rich aroma of cooked meat.

　　In just a brief moment, the gray wolf's body had been cooked by the airwave!

　　Henry Carter struggled to straighten his back, the burning pain flaring up again.

　　No need to look back, no need for a mirror! Henry Carter knew very well that his back must be a bloody, mangled mess right now.

　　"It hurts! Even with the alchemist's golden wound medicine, it won't heal in a day." Henry Carter staggered toward the now utterly dead gray wolf. "And there's no way to explain to my family how I got hurt on my back. But! My brother was right—fighting isn't just about finding the opponent's weakness, you also have to know how to use the environment. Luckily, there was the alchemy furnace this time."

　　A faint purple medicinal vapor shrouded the dead gray wolf—that was the medicinal vapor released by the airwave! Because of the wolf's physical body, the vapor released this time was even more than last time.

　　"This meat smells really delicious." Henry Carter supported his waist with one hand and slowly squatted down, the burning pain in his back flaring up again.

　　He had only eaten a bowl of thin porridge in the confinement room earlier. After a sudden fierce battle with the wolf and now smelling the aroma of meat, Henry Carter immediately felt hungry.

　　"Shouldn't be poisonous, right?"

　　Henry Carter reached out and tore off a roasted wolf leg, examining it closely. It didn't look poisonous, and part of it was surrounded by a purple medicinal aura. If it really was poisonous, this purple medicinal aura should be able to neutralize it, right?

　　"Yeah, it should be fine!"

　　Henry Carter remembered how his butt had almost been beaten raw before, but after smelling the medicinal vapor and practicing his skills, it healed quickly. He figured there shouldn't be any problem, so he took a big bite.

　　"Mmm..."

　　As soon as the wolf meat entered his mouth, Henry Carter couldn't help but moan—the meat was just too delicious! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside! Mixed with the scent of the medicinal vapor, the two aromas blended into pure deliciousness!

　　After eating two wolf legs, Henry Carter felt full, but the energy and blood in his body became extremely unstable, boiling like water under the stimulation of the medicinal vapor.

　　"I can't take it anymore!"

　　Henry Carter quickly sat cross-legged, activating the Iron Scroll of Blade and Sword qigong, opening all his major acupoints to absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

　　Primordial energy entered his body! Henry Carter's straightened back sank slightly, and he opened his eyes in surprise to observe his surroundings. There was nothing particularly strange around him, so why was the primordial energy here so heavy?
