Chapter 7: All-Out Strike, Yet the Defense Remains Unbroken?
Chapter 7: All-Out Strike, Yet the Defense Remains Unbroken?
The wolf spirits before them were the very same vengeful spirits that had perished at their hands moments ago, their wolf forms now translucent and ethereal.
Among them was, of course, the Wolf Sovereign.
The strength of this Wolf Sovereign was beyond question. If not for Fat Dragon's two talismans, neither of them would have been able to kill the Wolf Sovereign. The most crucial factor in their victory was that this Spirit Armament Level 6 Wolf Sovereign had appeared only after all its subordinates had perished.
Otherwise, if they had all attacked together, with the wolf spirits assisting, the outcome would have been uncertain.
Although the cultivation levels of the three men before them were unknown, as bodyguards of the young master, they were likely stronger and more experienced in combat than ordinary people. Who would emerge victorious in this battle of life and death?
Chen Qiu's confidence wavered.
But with the battle at hand, he couldn't show weakness and dampen their morale.
Holding his woodcutting knife, Chen Qiu stood his ground, his face calm as he gazed at the four men not far away. In a soft voice, he said, "Kill!"
As his words fell, the wolf spirits behind him seemed to receive a command. They roared and charged forward as one.
"What kind of ability is this?"
Standing beside Chen Qiu, Fat Dragon's eyes lit up as he witnessed this scene. "Brother Chen Qiu, is this the entry you randomly obtained after breaking through to Qi Condensation Period Level 1? Can you summon vengeful spirits? No wonder you said you'd become stronger after reaching Level 3 of the Qi Condensation Stage. So, this is it!"
"The restriction on this entry is probably that it can only be used at Level 3 of the Qi Condensation Stage, right?"
"And since you said it's a later-stage entry, Brother Chen Qiu, I assume that as your cultivation level increases, the strength of the summoned vengeful spirits will also grow?"
"A growth-type active skill entry!"
"Brother Chen Qiu, you really have great luck!"
A hint of envy flashed in Fat Dragon's eyes, but he soon felt a sense of restlessness. Why was his luck so terrible? What good was the Nine Bulls Strength to him? It had no use, and it only brought side effects.
It was ugly and uncomfortable.
There was nothing he could do. After all, he couldn't very well emulate Houyi shooting down nine suns. Fortunately, the young master's three bodyguards, despite their numerous battle scars and severe injuries, were almost exhausted. They didn't even have the chance to join the fight before the battle ended.
The three bodyguards met their gruesome end beneath the Wolf Sovereign's fangs.
"Damn it!!!"
Seeing that the Wolf Sovereign had set its sights on him, the young master, Huang Shikai, couldn't help but laugh coldly in anger. "Good, good, good. You have some guts, but you're still not enough to kill me."
"Don't ever think that I'm like those spoiled young masters. I rely on my brain to make a living!"
The next moment—
The young man's hands and feet suddenly emitted a yellow glow, a sign of his cultivation art being activated. It was rare for someone at Level 6 of the Qi Condensation Stage to have the financial means to cultivate such an art.
"Iron Sand Palm, a lower-grade yellow-level cultivation art!"
In an instant, as the Wolf Sovereign charged towards the young master, the young man dropped to the ground, his hands and feet piercing the earth, fixing himself firmly in place. He became embedded in the ground.
At this moment, the Wolf Sovereign had already reached the young man, but strangely, no matter how hard the Wolf Sovereign tried to bite or claw at him, it couldn't leave even a scratch on Huang Shikai.
"Hmm?"
Noticing something amiss, Chen Qiu walked up, bent down, and looked at the young man who was half-embedded in the ground. After furrowing his brows in confusion for half a day, he waved his hand, signaling the Wolf Sovereign to retreat.
Raising his woodcutting knife high, Chen Qiu aimed at Huang Shikai's neck and struck with all his might!
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out abruptly.
Chen Qiu's lips twitched slightly as he threw away the woodcutting knife, which was trembling violently, blade and all. He felt like he had struck a steel plate. Huang Shikai remained unscathed, but Chen Qiu's arm had gone numb from the impact.
Despite his all-out strike, the defense remained unbroken?
Just then—
"Hahahahaha!"
Huang Shikai, his face pressed tightly against the ground, laughed triumphantly. "I forgot to tell you, my initial entry is a yellow entry, 'Unassailable from Behind'. Any attack from my rear or sides cannot harm me."
"The microcosm will close in half an hour, and you can't do anything to me. I'll remember your faces, and as soon as I get out, I'll find someone to kill you."
"Rest assured, I'll play with you properly when the time comes."
"What great luck."
Fat Dragon, following behind Chen Qiu, sighed with a complex expression. "Sometimes, I really envy you lucky ones. Your first random initial entry is such a high-quality one."
In truth, he knew.
Many entries in this world were interconnected, and there were no absolutely useless entries. Even his 'Nine Bulls Strength' couldn't be considered completely useless, as there were many entries that could synergize with it.
For example, the green entry 'Swarm', which caused excess organs in the body to mutate, granting mysterious and unpredictable power. The more excess organs one had, the greater the power of this green entry. It was quite compatible with his 'Nine Bulls Strength'.
However, the main reason he still felt restless from time to time was that a useless first entry meant that even if there were many entries that could synergize with it later on, it was unlikely he would survive long enough to reach the cultivation level required to obtain those entries.
Moreover, he didn't want to have the green entry 'Swarm'! Not even if it meant becoming stronger.
The biggest drawback of such highly interconnected entries was that without the complete set of entries, a single entry was often ineffective, and you couldn't guarantee obtaining the desired entry from the set.
The randomness was too high.
There were rumors of some Celestial Path Secret Realms that produced Heaven and Earth Treasures, allowing cultivators to randomly obtain an entry even without breaking through to a higher realm, or providing an opportunity to reroll for a new entry upon reaching a higher realm. But these Heaven and Earth Treasures were extremely valuable and beyond his reach.
This was why Fat Dragon's expression became so complex when he heard that Huang Shikai's first entry was a yellow entry. This kid's luck was too good; his initial entry was yellow, making him a true Heaven's Chosen Son.
Initial entries were absolute and couldn't be changed or erased; they accompanied a cultivator for life.
Later entries obtained upon breaking through to higher realms could be erased or changed using Heaven and Earth Treasures.
Initial entries essentially represented a cultivator's talent.
