I'm Just Making Up The Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 22: Battle with the Firemane Wolf (Seeking to Continue Reading)

Xu Yan was certain that he had reached a bottleneck. If he didn't break through this barrier, he would never be able to refine his bones into jade!

He was only one step away, but he was stuck.

It felt like there was a barrier blocking his progress. If he couldn't break through this barrier, his bones would never become jade.

However, he had no idea how to break through this barrier.

No matter how he circulated his qi and continuously refined his bones, it had no effect.

"Am I not perceiving something? Do I need to relax my mind and perceive inspiration in order to break through the barrier?"

"But I have a feeling that I need pressure, the convergence of internal and external forces, in order to break through. But I don't know what kind of pressure I need..."

Xu Yan fell into deep thought.

He decided to seek guidance from his master.

Just then, Li Xuan walked out of the house.

"Disciple, come here!"

Xu Yan's spirits lifted. Did his master notice that I've reached a bottleneck? Is he here to guide me?

"Master!"

He respectfully bowed.

Li Xuan's expression was somewhat serious as he said, "Disciple, after you hunted down the evil tiger in the Evil Spirit Forest, did you search the entire forest?"

Xu Yan was taken aback and shook his head.

"In the Evil Spirit Forest, besides the tiger, there is also a ferocious beast. Be careful and deal with it!"

Li Xuan earnestly cautioned.

Based on the description in the diary of Da Niu, that ferocious beast was not ordinary. If it were to come to the village, it would be dangerous.

It was a huge threat.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan's eyes lit up and he thought to himself, "There is another ferocious beast in the Evil Spirit Forest? Stronger than the Red-eyed Tiger? I understand now. Master is telling me that the opportunity to break through is in the Evil Spirit Forest!"

"To battle the ferocious beast, unleash my potential, break through the barrier, and my bones will surely become jade!"

In that instant, a flash of inspiration struck Xu Yan's mind. He suddenly understood what kind of pressure he needed to break through the barrier and refine his bones into jade.

"I understand, Master. I will go deal with it immediately!"

Excitedly, Xu Yan mounted his horse and headed straight for the Evil Spirit Forest.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet."

Li Xuan was somewhat speechless.

Why was this foolish disciple so excited upon hearing about the ferocious beast in the Evil Spirit Forest?

Has he become addicted to hunting?

"There are many people, so the ferocious beast shouldn't be able to escape."

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Xu Yan had mentioned that the martial artists outside were not too strong and belonged to the lower martial level, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a ferocious beast with so many people.

Since they were low-level martial artists, the ferocious beast couldn't be that strong, right?

...

Xu Yan rode his horse to the Evil Spirit Forest and began searching.

As he searched deeper into the forest, the trees became thicker. As he continued, the horse began to tremble and slow down, even wanting to retreat.

Xu Yan's spirits rose, and he circulated his qi, remaining vigilant of his surroundings.

Suddenly!

A low roar sounded, and from behind a large tree, a fiery figure pounced, its fangs exposed, gleaming with a cold light.

It lunged directly at Xu Yan, who was on horseback.

Xu Yan's eyes lit up, relying on his strong physical body, he threw a punch directly.

A claw also swiped at him.

Bang!

Xu Yan felt a tremendous force that sent him flying off the horse.

The horse was so frightened that its limbs went weak and it cowered on the ground, trembling.

"How is this possible!"

Xu Yan was greatly shocked.

He is a Martial Artist who has almost tempered his bones into jade, his strength is incredibly strong, beyond imagination.

If the Red-eyed Tiger were to encounter him at this moment, it could easily kill with a single punch.

Bang!

Xu Yan flipped over on the ground and climbed up, a fiery red figure pounced again.

"Ah!"

Xu Yan shouted loudly, his blood boiling, and directly met the attack.

Bang!

A claw fiercely slapped his chest, and Xu Yan also punched the beast.

Xu Yan staggered back a few steps, feeling pain in his chest.

And the beast was also pushed back two steps by the punch.

At this moment, Xu Yan looked closely and saw that the beast was surrounded by fiery red, especially the circle of mane on its neck, which was as red as fire, like a burning flame.

Wolf head, emerald eyes, two fangs about a foot long, gleaming with cold light, the hind body was actually smaller than the front body, but the hind legs were extremely strong.

The front legs were like tiger paws, and the sharp claws were exposed, resembling small daggers.

Its body was more than half larger than the Red-eyed Tiger, exuding a fierce aura when standing there, its emerald green eyes giving off a sinister and violent feeling.

Being stared at by these eyes made people shudder.

At this moment, these emerald green eyes were fixedly staring at Xu Yan.

From this human, it sensed a strong blood energy, arousing its bloodthirsty desire.

"Firemane Wolf?!"

Xu Yan's heart trembled. Wasn't the appearance of this beast exactly the same as the Firemane Wolf he had seen in an ancient book?

It was rumored that the Firemane Wolf was extremely powerful, once wreaking havoc in the city and causing countless deaths and injuries, but it managed to retreat safely under the siege of elite troops!

Never did he expect that there would be a Firemane Wolf in the Evil Demon Forest!

"Who says books are all lies? Even the Firemane Wolf has appeared!"

Xu Yan was extremely excited, his blood boiling, and his whole person became excited.

The Firemane Wolf, the legendary beast.

Many people had read about the Firemane Wolf in books, but no one took it seriously. A beast that rampaged in the city and managed to retreat under the siege of a large army?

It was too unbelievable!

Xu Yan believed it now. From the fight just now, the strength of the Firemane Wolf was enough to retreat under the siege of a large army.

That powerful physique, agile speed, and immense strength.

Even he felt some pressure, indicating the strength of the Firemane Wolf.

"This is my breakthrough opportunity!"

Xu Yan believed that the Firemane Wolf was his chance to break through his limits, to fight and refine his bones, to break free from constraints under the pressure.

"Come on, today, I, Xu Yan, will temper my bones with your life, Firemane Wolf!"

Xu Yan roared, his blood boiling, and even a faint jade luster appeared on his body, rushing forward.

Roar!

The Firemane Wolf roared, pounced fiercely, claws slapping, its huge mouth opening, fangs dripping with saliva, biting towards Xu Yan.

Xu Yan grabbed the Firemane Wolf's claws with both hands, before it could bite, he kicked it hard on its body, directly sending it flying and crashing to the ground.

Immediately, he charged forward and threw punches.

The Firemane Wolf roared, its eyes turning blood red, a violent aura pervading, its fiery red mane fluttering, as if on fire.

It pounced at Xu Yan again.

Bang!

Xu Yan was knocked back, his heart filled with shock. Why did the Firemane Wolf's body suddenly become hot?

The Firemane Wolf pounced down.

The man and the beast fought each other.

Xu Yan roared, pushing the Firemane Wolf back, and pounced again, grabbing its claws and pressing it to the ground.

But the Firemane Wolf's hind legs kept kicking, directly kicking Xu Yan, each kick with tremendous force, shaking Xu Yan's blood and causing pain that stimulated his nerves.

"Die!"

Boom!

Xu Yan forcefully threw the Firemane Wolf away, his blood boiling, and at this moment, a mist of water vapor rose from his body, his skin gradually turning red.
