By this time, Xiao Yan's black robe was already tattered.
His face was covered in blood, and it was unclear whether it was his own or the bloodthirsty demon wolves'!
So far, Xiao Yan had slaughtered ten bloodthirsty demon wolves.
However, the falling of his companions did not deter the monsters; instead, it only fueled their fury.
Currently, there were at least sixteen or seventeen bloodthirsty demon wolves surrounding Xiao Yan.
Each of them grinned wide, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, gazing at Xiao Yan with a fierce gaze.
"Huff... huff!"
Xiao Yan stared around warily, breathing heavily.
He was now nearing the end of his strength.
Slaying ten bloodthirsty demon wolves had nearly exhausted all his Dou Qi.
Xiao Yan now hated the one who had thrown him here; he had simply sent him to his death!
Xiao Yan secretly vowed in his heart that if he ever found out who was plotting against him, he would not let that person go.
"Awoo!"
Before Xiao Yan could even think, the bloodthirsty demon wolves suddenly raised their heads and let out a series of terrifying howls.
Then, without giving him time to react, the one in the foremost suddenly bared its sharp claws and lunged at Xiao Yan.
"Fuck you!"
A pungent smell of blood washed over him, and Xiao Yan could only curse loudly. He then hurriedly summoned the little Dou Qi within him.
"Eight Extremes Collapse!"
This powerful blow instantly hammered the bloodthirsty demon wolf's neck.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking echoed, and the bloodthirsty demon wolf was instantly dead.
Bang! With the bloodthirsty demon wolf's death, Xiao Yan's body fell backwards. Now, no Dou Qi remained in his meridians. Gazing at the remaining pack of bloodthirsty demon wolves, Xiao Yan's heart was filled with despair! "Roar, roar!" The remaining bloodthirsty demon wolves, as if realizing Xiao Yan had lost all his fighting strength, immediately swarmed over him. Though beasts, they also knew the lesson of giving a helpless hand. "It's over!" Watching the demon wolves closing in on him, Xiao Yan could only close his eyes in despair! Bang, bang, bang! Suddenly, just when Xiao Yan thought he was doomed, a series of muffled sounds suddenly reached his ears. When he opened his eyes again, an illusory, elderly figure suddenly blocked his path. Seeing this figure, Xiao Yan nearly burst into tears. He said weakly, "Teacher, you're finally out!" "Hmph, useless thing, giving up just like that?" As Yao Lao emerged, Bone Spirit Cold Fire instantly coated his fist. Then, one by one, he slew the bloodthirsty demon wolves before him. "Teacher, there are too many of these beasts! I simply can't hold on any longer..." Xiao Yan felt aggrieved. He had clearly tried his best, hadn't he? It was simply that his strength didn't allow it! "Little one, remember this: only when faced with despair can a person unleash their limitless potential." "Just now, if you hadn't given up, and had persevered just a moment longer, perhaps you would have broken through to the three-star Douzhe realm by now." "But at the last moment, you chose to give up. This makes me lose hope in you!" Yao Lao felt somewhat disappointed. Before Xiao Yan was thrown over, he had been suppressed by a powerful force. Because his soul power hadn't yet recovered, he could only suppress his aura, severing all contact with the outside world. Only when the overwhelming pressure dissipated did he dare to project his soul out to check on the outside world. When Yao Lao saw Xiao Yan, relying on his own strength, slay ten bloodthirsty demon wolves, he felt a sense of relief. However, this unworthy boy, at the last moment, did not choose to persist. Yao Lao was so angry that he almost wanted to rush out and kill Xiao Yan himself.
But after some thought, he realized it wasn't easy to find a disciple as gifted as Xiao Yan, so he had no choice but to take action and rescue the boy first.
"Teacher, I know I was wrong!"
After Yao Lao's heartfelt lecture, Xiao Yan could only lower his head in shame and admit his mistake.
Teacher was right. If he hadn't given up then, but had persevered until the very end, he might have truly achieved a breakthrough by now.
Because just then, Xiao Yan could truly feel his Dou Qi improving slightly. At
that moment, Xiao Yan clenched his fists and vowed
to himself that he would never let his teacher down again.
"Ah! Hurry and recover first."
Seeing Xiao Yan's acknowledgment, Yao Lao couldn't say anything more and could only sigh helplessly.
Then, with a flick of his finger, a Qi-boosting Pill fell towards Xiao Yan.
Reaching out to catch it, Xiao Yan swallowed it in one gulp without a second thought.
As the pill entered his mouth, a warm current instantly flowed down Xiao Yan's throat.
Within moments, the pure medicinal power flowed into his limbs and bones.
After a while, Xiao Yan finally regained some strength.
He leaped from the ground and addressed Yao Lao, "Teacher, let's go!"
He turned and began to leave!
"Stop!"
Seeing Xiao Yan about to leave, Yao Lao suddenly shouted from behind.
"Uh..."
Xiao Yan stopped in his tracks, startled, and turned around, bewildered, "Teacher, what's wrong?"
"What else? You prodigal son, you have so many monster carcasses, and you don't want the magic cores inside?"
Yao Lao rushed over and slapped Xiao Yan on the head, nearly killing the prodigal.
"Ouch!"
Xiao Yan cried out in pain, instinctively rubbing his head.
However, after hearing Yao Lao's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.
That's right, there are dozens of first-tier magical beasts lying here right now. Those magic cores are truly valuable.
How much would so many first-tier magic cores fetch?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan quickly pulled out a small knife and hurried over to the corpse of the bloodthirsty demon wolf.
"I'm so happy today, old man..."
Xiao Yan hummed a little tune as he dug out the magic cores, his mouth almost stretched to his ears.
...
Bang!
Elsewhere, Lin Yuan easily dispatched a blind magical beast and snatched out its magic core.
"What a piece of junk!"
Lin Yuan glanced disdainfully at the second-tier magic core in his hand and was about to toss it aside.
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing Lin Yuan so effortlessly slay a peak-tier second-tier magical beast, Xiao Yixian was practically stunned.
Her suspicions were now completely confirmed: Lin Yuan must be a Grand Battle Master.
Otherwise, how could he have slain a peak-tier second-tier magical beast?
But the next second, she saw Lin Yuan about to throw away the magic core and immediately stepped forward to stop him. "This is a second-level magic core, why don't you keep it?"
"Why would I keep this junk? It takes up so much space!" Lin Yuan shook his head in disdain.
His storage ring was filled with all kinds of treasures, so he really didn't care about a mere second-level magic core.
"Oh my God! Junk?"
Xiao Yixian slapped her forehead, feeling like her worldview was about to collapse...
