chapter 26 again hunting in the jungle

After they got away from that crowd Xua Yan told them that he will practicing his martial arts and cultivation to improve his strength for the upcoming competition. And returned to his rented house. The decision to focus on his martial arts and cultivation was a wise one for Xua Yan, given the level of competition he would be facing. Upon returning to his rented house, he immediately began to practice his forms and techniques, honing his skills and striving to reach the next level. Xua Yan spent many days inside of the entropy practicing, pushing himself to his limits and beyond. He practiced his punches, kicks, and other strikes, working on his speed, power, and precision by using his experience and memories from his past life. He also spent time meditating, using his spiritual energy to cultivate his inner strength and focus his mind. But despite that he was not able to see much improvement in him. He knew that inorder to increase his strength faster he needed a large amount of energy inside of his body to push his limits and make him stronger and to get large amount of energy the only way he had was to hunt sprit beast and eat their meat.

Xua Yan knew that in order to increase his strength quickly, he needed to acquire a large amount of energy. One of the ways he could do this was by hunting spirit beasts and consuming their meat. Spirit beasts were known to have high levels of energy within them, and consuming their meat could provide a significant boost to one's own energy levels. Xua Yan decided to venture out into the wilderness in search of spirit beasts to hunt. He packed his bag with supplies and set out on his journey, navigating through the forests and mountains in search of his prey. It was a dangerous task, as spirit beasts were known to be powerful and unpredictable, but Xua Yan was determined to push himself to the limit and increase his strength.

Xua Yan knew that in order to become stronger faster, he needed to hunt higher level spirit beasts. These beasts contained a large amount of energy that could be absorbed by his body, pushing his limits and making him stronger. However, he also knew that hunting these beasts was dangerous and could be fatal if he was not careful.

He packed his supplies carefully, making sure to bring enough food and water for his journey. He also brought his weapons, a long sword and a bow and arrows, in case he needed to defend himself. He had spent many days training with these weapons, mastering his technique and increasing his accuracy.

Once he was ready, he entered the forest near his shelter and started venturing deeper into the woods. The forest was dense and filled with tall trees, bushes, and other vegetation that made it difficult to move around. However, Xua Yan was determined to find the spirit beasts he needed to increase his strength.

He moved slowly and cautiously, scanning his surroundings for any signs of movement or danger. He kept his senses alert, listening for any sounds or smells that might indicate the presence of a spirit beast. He also used his spiritual sense to detect any energy signatures that might be nearby.

As he ventured deeper into the forest, Xua Yan encountered several low-level spirit beasts, which he easily dispatched with his sword and bow. However, he knew that these beasts would not provide him with enough energy to increase his strength significantly. He needed to find higher level beasts.

He continued his search, moving deeper into the forest and encountering more dangerous beasts. He fought fiercely, using his skills and weapons to take down the beasts and absorb their energy. With each hunt, Xua Yan felt control over his qi increasing, and he knew he was getting closer to his goal.

After one day of hunting, Upon seeing the level 7 spirit beast, Xua Yan's heart began to race with excitement and apprehension. He knew that he needed a strategy to defeat this formidable foe. He took a moment to assess the beast's movements and behavior, watching as it roamed about the forest, searching for its next prey.

Xua Yan quickly realized that the spirit beast was particularly sensitive to sound, as it would immediately turn its head towards any sudden noise. He also observed that it seemed to have a keen sense of smell, able to detect even the faintest of scents from miles away.

With this knowledge in mind, Xua Yan began to formulate a plan. He decided to use his spiritual energy to create a decoy sound, luring the beast away from its current location. Once he had the beast distracted, Xua Yan planned to sneak up behind it and attack it from behind.

To mask his scent, Xua Yan took some leaves and dirt from the ground and rubbed them on his body. He also used some herbs he had gathered to camouflage his scent, making him virtually undetectable to the beast's sensitive nose.

As he approached the beast, Xua Yan made sure to move as quietly as possible, trying his best not to make any sudden movements or noises. When he was finally within striking distance, he took a deep breath and prepared himself for the fight of his life.

Xua Yan was prepared for the beast's charge, and as it came running towards him, he smoothly sidestepped to the side. He was agile and quick on his feet, and the beast missed him by a hair's breadth. As the beast passed him, Xua Yan turned and landed a powerful punch on its flank, causing it to stumble and roar in pain. The blow was powerful, but not enough to knock the beast down, and it quickly recovered.

The beast turned and faced Xua Yan, its eyes glowing with rage. It lunged at him with its sharp claws extended, but Xua Yan was ready. He swiftly dodged to the side and landed a series of kicks on the beast's midsection, each one hitting with a thud. The beast roared in pain and frustration, its massive body shaking with the impact of the blows.

Xua Yan continued to move around the beast, landing punches and kicks whenever he saw an opening. He was quick and precise, his strikes hitting their mark with accuracy. But the beast was strong and tough, and it was taking a lot of punishment without going down.

As the fight wore on, Xua Yan could feel his energy beginning to flag. He had been fighting for a long time, and he was starting to feel the strain of the battle. The beast, on the other hand, seemed to be getting stronger with every passing moment. It was as if it was drawing strength from the energy around it, becoming more and more powerful as the fight went on.

Xua Yan knew that he needed to end the fight quickly, or he would be in serious trouble. He gathered his strength and launched himself at the beast, landing a devastating punch on its head. The beast stumbled backwards, dazed and confused. Xua Yan saw his chance and seized it. He landed a series of quick blows on the beast's body, each one hitting with tremendous force. Finally, with a loud roar, the beast collapsed to the ground, defeated.

Xua Yan stood over the beast, panting and sweating. He had emerged victorious, but the fight had taken a lot out of him. He knew that he needed to rest and recover before taking on any more spirit beasts.

After a while, Xua Yan gathered himself and looked around the forest. He had defeated the beast, but there were more out there, waiting for him. He knew that he needed to be careful, and that he needed to use all of his skills and experience to survive. He would have to be strong, quick, and cunning, always one step ahead of his opponents.

With a new sense of determination, Xua Yan set out into the forest once more, ready to face whatever lay ahead. He knew that the road ahead would be long and difficult, but he was ready for the challenge but Xua Yan was disappointed when he found no beasts around. He had expected to find at least a few weaker ones, but it seemed that they had all fled the area after sensing the previous fight. He decided to keep moving, hoping that he would eventually come across another spirit beast. As he walked, he kept his senses sharp, listening for any sounds or movements that might indicate the presence of a beast.

But the forest was eerily silent. The only sounds were the rustling of leaves in the wind and the occasional bird call. Xua Yan began to feel a sense of unease. He had never experienced such silence in the forest before. It was as if all the creatures had fled the area, leaving him alone with his thoughts.

Xua Yan started to worry about his safety. He knew that there were dangerous beasts in the forest, and he didn't want to be caught off guard. He decided to take a break and scan the area for any signs of life. He sat down on a fallen tree and closed his eyes, focusing his energy and senses. After a few moments, he began to pick up on faint sounds in the distance. He couldn't tell what they were, but they seemed to be coming from the north.

Xua Yan stood up and started to move in the direction of the sounds. He walked slowly, keeping his senses alert and his guard up. As he got closer, the sounds became louder and more distinct. He could hear the rustling of leaves and the occasional snap of a twig.

Finally, he came to a clearing where he saw a group of 8 beasts grazing on the grass. They were smaller than the level 7 beast he had fought earlier, but they still looked dangerous. Xua Yan believed that if they fought together with him they will be a lot stronger than the beast the he fought earlier that's why he decided to not engage with all of them at once. He started formulating a plan to draw away beasts one by one and fight with them.

Xua Yan assessed the situation and realized that it would be unwise to engage all eight beasts at once. He knew that his best chance of success was to separate them and take them on one by one. Xua Yan decided to use his knowledge of the forest to his advantage and take advantage of the terrain to gain the upper hand in the battle.

Xua Yan quickly scanned the area for any nearby trees or other obstacles that he could use to his advantage. He noticed that there were several large trees and bushes that could serve as good hiding spots or cover for his movements. He made a mental note of these spots and started to slowly move towards them.

Xua Yan crept up to the first beast slowly and carefully, trying to remain as quiet as possible. He moved slowly, using his experience and training to keep his movements as smooth and silent as possible. As he got closer to the first beast, he could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He knew that one wrong move could alert the other beasts, and that could spell disaster for him.

When he was close enough, Xua Yan sprang into action, moving quickly and silently to take the first beast by surprise. With a swift and powerful strike, he knocked the beast unconscious, making sure to avoid any fatal injuries. He then quickly dragged the unconscious beast away from the others, hoping to avoid alerting them.

Once he was a safe distance away from the other beasts, Xua Yan prepared himself for the fight. He knew that he would have to be quick and agile if he wanted to take down the remaining beasts without getting injured. He carefully scanned the area, looking for any signs of movement or sound that might indicate the beasts were aware of his presence.

After a few moments, Xua Yan spotted the next beast. It was grazing on the grass, completely oblivious to the danger that lurked nearby. Xua Yan moved quickly and silently, using his experience and training to keep his movements as smooth and silent as possible.

As he got closer to the beast, Xua Yan could feel his heart racing in his chest. He knew that he only had one chance to take the beast by surprise. With a swift and powerful strike, he knocked the beast unconscious, making sure to avoid any fatal injuries.
