He repeated this process and took down 5 of the beasts one by one. But after that the remaining beasts sensed that something was wrong and became alert. As Xua Yan approached the sixth beast, it suddenly lifted its head and sniffed the air, sensing danger. The other two remaining beasts also became alert and began to growl, circling around him. Xua Yan knew that he had lost the element of surprise and that he would have to face these beasts head-on.
He quickly assessed the situation and came up with a strategy. He decided to lure one of the beasts away from the group and take it down quickly. To do this, he threw a stone in the opposite direction of where he wanted to go, catching the attention of one of the beasts. The beast turned its attention away from Xua Yan and ran towards the sound of the stone, giving him an opportunity to strike.
Xua Yan rushed towards the remaining two beasts, who had now split up in an attempt to surround him. He focused on the one that was closest to him and charged towards it, hoping to catch it off guard. The beast lunged towards him, but Xua Yan was too quick. He dodged the attack and delivered a powerful punch to the beast's chest, knocking it back.
The other beast had circled around behind Xua Yan and was about to pounce on him from behind. Xua Yan sensed its presence and quickly spun around, kicking the beast in the face and knocking it to the ground. The beast quickly got up and lunged towards Xua Yan, but he was ready. He sidestepped the attack and landed a swift kick to the beast's side, sending it tumbling to the ground.
With only one beast left, Xua Yan felt confident. He charged towards the beast, ready to take it down. But the beast was not so easily defeated. It was larger and stronger than the others and put up a fierce fight. Xua Yan dodged its attacks and landed a few punches and kicks, but they didn't seem to have much effect on the beast. The fight dragged on, with both Xua Yan and the beast becoming more and more tired.
Finally, Xua Yan saw an opening. The beast had lowered its head to charge towards him, leaving its neck exposed. Xua Yan took advantage of this and delivered a powerful chop to the back of its neck, knocking it out cold.
After Xua Yan took a breadth of relief he felt the sting of pain on his left arm where he had been scratched by the last beast. He knew that he needed to tend to his wound before it got infected and slowed down his progress. He reached into his bag and took out a bottle of disinfectant and some bandages. He poured the disinfectant onto his wound and gritted his teeth as it stung. He then wrapped his arm with the bandages to stop the bleeding and provide support.
After fixing his arm he started to feel hunger. He knew that it would be dangerous to cook beast meat in the open area because it might attract other powerful beasts. That's why he needed to find a safe place to cook and eat. After some time of moving around and looking for a safe place he finally spotted a small entrance to a cave. Xua Yan suspected it to be the cave of the same animals that he had just killed.
Xua Yan approached the small cave, which was nestled in a rocky outcropping. The entrance was obscured by a large boulder, which had been pushed aside by the beast that had claimed the cave as its own. The cave itself was small and dimly lit, with only a few rays of sunlight penetrating the entrance. The walls were rough and jagged, and the air was thick with the scent of blood and fur. Xua Yan could see scraps of meat scattered around the cave floor, evidence of the beast's last meal.
Despite the grim surroundings, Xua Yan felt a sense of relief wash over him as he stepped into the cave. He had been wandering through the forest for days, and he was tired and hungry. The prospect of finding shelter and food was a welcome one.
The interior of the cave was cool and damp, and Xua Yan could hear the sound of dripping water echoing in the distance. He carefully made his way further into the cave, his eyes adjusting to the dim light. The floor was uneven, with jagged rocks jutting out from the ground, and Xua Yan had to be careful not to trip or stumble.
As he moved deeper into the cave, he noticed that the air was becoming thicker and more humid. The walls were slick with moisture, and the sound of rushing water grew louder. Xua Yan realized that there must be a stream or underground river running through the cave.
Finally, he came to a small chamber at the back of the cave. The walls here were smooth and round, and the ground was covered in a soft layer of moss. In the center of the chamber was a small pool of crystal-clear water, fed by a thin stream that trickled down from the ceiling.
Xua Yan approached the pool and cupped his hands, taking a sip of the refreshing water. He felt the cool liquid wash over him, quenching his thirst and refreshing his body. He could feel his strength returning, and he knew that he would be able to continue his journey with renewed energy.
After he drank some water Xua Yan gathered some dry wood and started a fire outside the cave to cook the beast he had hunted earlier. He carefully cut off the meat from the bones and seasoned it with some herbs he had collected earlier. The smell of the cooking meat filled the air, making his mouth water with hunger.
As he waited for the meat to cook, he took a moment to reflect on his recent experiences. He had faced many challenges and had grown stronger as a result. He felt a sense of pride in his accomplishments, but also knew that there was still much more for him to learn and achieve.
Finally, the meat was cooked to perfection. Xua Yan took a bite, savoring the flavor of the tender, juicy meat. He felt the energy and vitality coursing through his body as he ate. The meat was rich in nutrients and energy, which he knew would help him recover from his injuries and regain his strength.
After he ate all the beast meat he started feeling spiritual energy released from the beast meat coursing throughout his whole body. And after that he immediately got inside of the entropy for his cultivation and martial arts training. As Xua Yan sat down to meditate, he could feel the spiritual energy from the beast meat coursing through his body. He closed his eyes and focused on his breath, feeling the energy flow and settle within him. He could feel the strength and power within him growing with each passing moment. He began to visualize the energy as a bright light that flowed through his body, filling him with its warmth and power.
As he focused on the energy within him, Xua Yan began to practice his martial arts forms. He moved fluidly through the movements, each punch and kick executed with precision and power. He felt his muscles straining and stretching as he pushed himself to his limits, determined to become stronger and more skilled.
As he continued to train, Xua Yan's mind began to clear and he felt a sense of peace and calm wash over him. He focused on the present moment, letting go of all worries and distractions. He could feel his connection to the energy of the world growing stronger, as if he was tapping into a limitless source of power.
After 2 days of intense training inside of the entropy, Xua Yan stood up and found out that all the energy that was released from that beast meat which got completely digested into his strength. He could feel the strength and power within him, and he knew that he was getting closer to energy gathering level one of his martial arts.
He smiled to himself and walked out of the entropy. Xua Yan went to the nearby stream to wash his hands and face. As he looked around, he realized that he had been so focused on his training and hunting that he had not taken the time to appreciate the natural beauty around him. The stream was crystal clear, and the sound of the flowing water was soothing to his ears. The forest was filled with life, and the chirping of the birds and the buzzing of the insects created a symphony of sound.
Xua Yan gathered some firewood and started a fire to cook his remaining beast meat. He was careful to cook it thoroughly to avoid any risk of getting sick. As he cooked, he took the time to reflect on his journey so far. He had come a long way from his previous life, and he was proud of the progress he had made. He knew that he still had a long way to go, but he was determined to keep moving forward.
After his meal, Xua Yan sat down to meditate inside of the entropy. He closed his eyes and focused on his breathing, allowing his mind to enter a state of calmness. As he meditated, he felt the spiritual energy coursing through his body once again, strengthening his muscles and sharpening his mind. He stayed in that state for what felt like hours, but in reality, it was only a few minutes.
When he opened his eyes, he felt refreshed and rejuvenated and found out that he had reached the level one of the energy-gathering stages of his martial arts. As Xua Yan realized that he had reached level one of the energy-gathering stage, a sense of excitement and joy filled his heart. He had been working hard for so long and had finally achieved his first milestone in martial arts cultivation. He felt proud of himself and his efforts, knowing that he had what it takes to continue on this path and achieve even greater success.
However, his elation was short-lived as he remembered that he needed to continue training and that he required the energy from beast meat to do so. He had used up all the meat from the previous hunt and knew that he had to go out and hunt once again. But he also knew that hunting would be a dangerous task and that he needed to be careful and strategic in his approach.
He knew that he had to continue his training to reach his full potential. He stood up and started to gather his things. As he packed, he noticed that the sun was setting, and the sky was turning a beautiful shade of orange and red. He decided to stay for the night and continue his hunting and training in the morning.
Xua Yan set up a small campsite near the stream and started a fire to keep warm. He sat down by the fire and pulled out a book from the library inside of the entropy. It was a book about martial arts techniques that was acquired from the memories of his previous life. He started reading and studying, absorbing the knowledge and incorporating it into his own practice.
As the night went on, Xua Yan continued to train and study, pushing his body and mind to their limits. He knew that the road ahead would be long and difficult, but he was ready for the challenge. He was determined to become the strongest martial artist in the land and to reach the peak of cultivation. And with that thought in mind, he drifted off to sleep, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
