‘All-round repair: 7000 energy points.
‘Repair excessive loss of mana: 2000 energy points.

‘Repair trajectory: 3000 energy points.
‘Repair inefficiency of Dou Qi conversion: 5000 energy points.’
“There goes another large amount of energy points!”
Shu Ke felt a headache just looking at the number of energy points he had used.
Actually, he also knew that the Dou Qi conversion method that he was using was very inefficient, but there was no other way.
The methods that he knew were all equivalent to mediocre dollar-store products. The ones that were truly useful and efficient were all in the hands of the big families and were being treated like heirlooms.
The Vincent family did indeed have training methods of higher levels, but since they were good stuff, it was only natural for the family to keep them from Shu Ke. Thus, until now, he had been using basic skills.
The only thing that was worth mentioning was the Wolf Sword Technique that Toulon had given him. Now that Shu Ke was close to perfecting it, it was close to being a tier-4 Dou technique.
As long as he managed to get rid of the remaining flaws, it would definitely become a tier-4 Dou technique.
One had to know that a tier-4 Dou technique was a precious technique even for the Vincent family.
Therefore, the amount of energy points required was also quite a lot. This placed Shu Ke—who was not very wealthy to begin with—in a tight spot.
“I’d better train first. When I become a high-tier Dou Practitioner, I’ll be able to hunt even more magical beasts. By then, gaining energy points will be a piece of cake!”
After comforting himself, Shu Ke immediately started training.
Overthinking now would be a waste of effort; the most important thing was to improve his strength as soon as possible.
With this in mind, Shu Ke wholeheartedly threw himself into cultivation training.
The next day, the first ray of sun fell onto Shu Ke’s face, it felt warm.
Shu Ke slowly opened his eyes.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
Shu Ke stretched lightly. Every single joint of his body was making sounds similar to stir-frying beans.
Although this was not visible from his physical appearance, if one made a side-by-side comparison between today and yesterday’s version of Shu Ke, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had become stronger.
This had nothing to do with his physical condition, it was his unique vitality of spirit.
Today’s Shu Ke was very different from yesterday’s Shu Ke—from details like his expression to his movements—it was as if he was a brand new person who had walked out of their lowest point of life.
“I actually succeeded?”
Shu Ke looked at his body in surprise and joy. When he immediately threw out a backhand punch, a dull noise sounded.
“Both my strength and Dou Qi have increased by at least thirty percent.”
Shu Ke moved his body in joy and immediately looked into the distance.
“It is time to get some more energy points.”
Shu Ke said as he stood up and walked outside. He couldn’t wait to test his strength!
…
There were three Flaming Battle Wolves.
If this were yesterday, Shu Ke might have already escaped.
But now, he wanted to challenge them!
Awooo!
The Flaming Battle Wolves wanted to call out their companions. However, when they saw that Shu Ke had no intention of escaping, they gave up on the idea.
They swarmed up to Shu Ke and had him surrounded.
Their eyes were filled with hatred for Shu Ke. They could not forget what happened last night. Shu Ke—a guy that was far weaker than them—had messed with them like they were idiots.
Magical beasts were like humans; they could sense the amount of Dou Qi or mana in the opponent’s body through their eyes or nose. This allowed them to judge the strength of the opponent.
Generally speaking, there was a world of difference in mana between magical beasts of different levels.
In the eyes of these Flaming Battle Wolves, Shu Ke’s Dou Qi was only the equivalent of a tier-1 magical beast—which was far lower than any of them.
However, since they had been toyed around by Shu Ke, this was enough to make them want to swallow him whole.
“Neither of you are going to bite me? So you think that you’ll be able to eat me for sure?”
Shu Ke raised his eyebrows with an excited expression.
Awoo!
One of the bigger looking Flaming Battle Wolves was the first to attack.
The beast rushed towards Shu Ke with its mouth that had dagger-like fangs; its mouth smelled of fish.
If Shu Ke really got bitten, he would still be split into two even if he were wearing heavy armour.
However, Shu Ke would obviously not stand still and let it bite him.
Shing!
Shu Ke unsheathed his long and rusty long sword.
‘Wolf Sword Technique: Wolf Run!’
A ghostly and dark shadow of a wolf appeared silently behind Shu Ke.
The wolf shadow that emerged from Shu Ke today seemed to be clearer and more ferocious than the one from yesterday!
Shu Ke raised his long sword and sprung himself forward like an arrow leaving its bow, heading straight towards the Flaming Battle Wolf.
The man and the wolf brushed past each other.
Drip!
A drop of blood dripped onto the ground from the rusty blade.
Shu Ke sheathed his sword and turned around. He looked at his masterpiece with admiration.
A wolf head that was the size of a basin fell from the sky and crashed heavily on the ground.
Its eyes were still open and seemed to be filled with confusion.
It was as if the beast did not understand how a rusty sword could pierce through its skin, cut off its neck bone, and take off its head.
“A magic nucleus.”
Shu Ke twisted the long sword, and a pigeon egg-sized magic nucleus fell into his hand.
Awooooo!
The remaining two Flaming Battle Wolves looked at each other before they roared and charged towards Shu Ke.
Since one of them was no match for him, then the two of them would attack together!
One of them opened its mouth and spat out a stream of hot flame that enveloped Shu Ke, while the other attempted to claw at his head.
This was a common hunting method of Flaming Battle Wolves. Even if the prey managed to dodge one of the attacks, it would definitely be hit by the other. Then, it would be surrounded by two Flaming Battle Wolves and get killed.
But what if their so-called prey didn’t dodge?
“Wolf Sword Technique: Blood Wolf Slash!”
A vicious roar that was as loud as thunder came from within the flames.
Following which, within the flames, a faint but ferocious wolf howl could be heard.
The sword glowed blood-red as it cut through the flames before rushing towards the Flaming Battle Wolf.
Splash!
The huge Flaming Battle Wolf was split into two. Its blood was splattered everywhere.
The last Flaming Battle Wolf started to feel afraid, it wanted to turn around to escape, but it was too late.
Shu Ke was too fast; he only had to move slightly to catch up with it.
Awooooo!!
The Flaming Battle Wolf had nowhere to run, so it wanted to dice with death and fight Shu Ke.
But it was too late.
Shu Ke barely moved. He merely raised his hand slightly, and the long sword in his hand had already pierced into the forehead of the Flaming Battle Wolf. Then, he twisted the sword and took out a magic nucleus.
“The third one.”
Shu Ke looked at the three magic nuclei in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. Then, he continued his slaughter.
