chapter 32

Xua Yan had gained a new level of power through his ability to become invisible, and he was eager to put it to the test. He knew that hunting beasts at level 9 of the energy-gathering stage would be a formidable challenge, but he was determined to try. He knew that his current level of strength was not enough to take down these powerful beasts, but he believed that his new ability would give him an advantage.

Xua Yan set out to find beasts at the level he was looking for. He scanned the area, using his heightened senses to locate any creatures that fit the bill. He moved quickly and quietly, using his new ability to remain hidden as he searched for prey. After some time, he came across a beast that was at the level he was seeking.

Xua Yan approached the beast's cave, he carefully observed its appearance. The beast was a powerful and muscular creature, with thick, matted fur covering its body. Its features were distinctly simian, with a broad, flat nose and a protruding brow ridge giving it a somewhat primitive appearance. Despite its brutish looks, however, Xua Yan knew that this beast was a formidable opponent, possessing strength and agility that far exceeded his own.

As he drew closer, Xua Yan could see that the beast was preparing to rest, curling up into a ball in the center of its cave. Xua Yan knew that this was his chance, as the beast would be vulnerable in this state. He focused his mind, calling upon his newfound ability of invisibility to remain hidden from the beast's senses.

As Xua Yan approached, the beast became alert, sensing something was nearby but unable to see Xua Yan due to his invisibility. Xua Yan knew that he couldn't take any chances of exposing himself, as the beast's reaction time was lightning-fast, and even the slightest movement could give away his position.

Xua Yan remained motionless, watching as the beast slowly began to relax, its heavy breathing signaling that it was drifting off to sleep. Xua Yan waited patiently, biding his time until the beast was fully asleep and its guard was down.

Finally, after what seemed like hours, the beast's breathing became slow and steady, and Xua Yan knew that it was safe to make his move. With a silent and lightning-fast strike, Xua Yan delivered a fatal blow to the beast, using all his strength and skill to take it down in one swift move.

As the beast fell to the ground, Xua Yan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his training and new abilities had paid off. After successfully killing the beast, Xua Yan felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. He knew that he had been able to achieve this feat only because of his newly acquired ability of invisibility.

He quickly picked up the corpse of the beast and entered the entropy to store it. The entropy was a perfect place to keep the beast corpse as it was equipped with all kinds of preservation techniques that would keep the corpse fresh for a long time.

After storing the corpse, Xua Yan decided to explore the cave where the beast had been living. He found many valuable items there, including various herbs and the bones of other beasts. These items could be used for various purposes such as crafting weapons, making medicines, or even as ingredients for special dishes.

Xua Yan picked up all the valuable items he could find and put them inside of the entropy. He knew that these items would come in handy in the future, and he did not want to leave anything valuable behind.

Once he had collected all the valuable items, Xua Yan left the cave and continued his journey. He knew that there were many more beasts out there that he could hunt using his new abilities, and he was excited to explore his full potential.

After he successfully hunted the ape-like beast he decided to hunt another level 9 energy-gathering beast and then start his cultivation. After that he starts searching for those beasts inside of the forest. The forest was dense and filled with a variety of trees, some with wide trunks and others with slender branches reaching towards the sky. Rays of sunlight streamed through the canopy, illuminating patches of the forest floor in a dappled pattern. The leaves rustled gently in the breeze, creating a soft, soothing sound that mixed with the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects.

Xua Yan moved cautiously through the forest, scanning his surroundings for any signs of movement or sound that could indicate the presence of his quarry. The forest was teeming with life, and he could see a variety of animals moving about, some small and skittish while others were larger and more confident.

As he walked, Xua Yan noticed the different types of trees and plants that grew in the forest. He saw tall, slender trees with leaves that rustled like silk in the wind, and wide, gnarled trees with roots that twisted and turned over the forest floor. Some of the plants were covered in delicate flowers that emitted a sweet scent, while others were thick with thorns and brambles.

As Xua Yan continued his search, he could hear the sound of water rushing in the distance. He followed the sound and soon came upon a small, babbling brook that wound its way through the forest. The water was clear and cold, and he took a moment to splash his face and quench his thirst. Moving deeper into the forest, Xua Yan could sense that he was getting closer to his quarry. He could see signs of recent activity, such as broken branches and trampled undergrowth. He moved quietly and deliberately, using his newfound abilities to remain hidden from view.

Finally, he spotted his target: a massive, lumbering creature with thick, matted fur and razor-sharp claws. It was devouring a smaller animal, tearing it apart with frightening ease. Xua Yan took a deep breath and readied himself for the fight. He knew that this creature was strong and dangerous, but he was confident in his abilities. With a swift motion, he started moving towards the beast, using his invisibility skill to remain hidden until the last possible moment.

Xua Yan's heart pounded in his chest as he watched the beast become alert. He knew that he had to be careful if he wanted to avoid detection. As he watched, the beast suddenly turned its head and started looking in the opposite direction with deep fear.

Xua Yan felt a shiver run down his spine as he realized that something else was out there. He quickly scanned the area, trying to catch a glimpse of whatever had spooked the beast. He strained his senses, trying to pick up any sign of movement or sound.

The forest around him was dark and dense, with thick underbrush and towering trees. Shafts of sunlight pierced the canopy overhead, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. The air was filled with the sound of rustling leaves and chirping insects, and the sweet scent of wildflowers wafted on the breeze.

As he listened, Xua Yan heard a faint rustling in the bushes off to his left. He tensed, readying himself for whatever might come next. The rustling grew louder and closer, and he could hear the sound of heavy breathing.

Suddenly, a massive beast burst from the underbrush, its eyes blazing with fury. Xua Yan watched in amazement as the massive beast suddenly lunged towards another beast nearby. He realized that the beast was not attacking him, but rather the other creature. It seemed that the beast was unable to see him due to his invisibility technique.

As he observed the scene, he realized that the beast attacking was not just any ordinary beast, but rather one that was in the developing spirite qi stage, a level above the energy-gathering stage. Xua Yan knew that this was a rare opportunity to witness the power of a beast at this level, and he watched intently as the creature used its formidable strength to attack the other beast.

Meanwhile, the beast that was attacked tried to escape, running away as fast as it could. Xua Yan knew that this was his chance to watch a developing sprite stage beast. He quickly followed the trail of the fleeing beast, his invisibility technique allowing him to remain undetected.

Xua Yan moved quickly, his senses heightened by the thrill of the chase. He followed the fleeing beasts deeper into the forest, leaping over fallen logs and dodging through thick underbrush. As he pursued them, he noticed that the smaller beast seemed to be gaining ground on the larger one, despite its smaller size.

Xua Yan pushed himself harder, determined to keep up with his prey. The forest around him began to blur as he moved faster and faster, his muscles straining with the effort. The sounds of the forest seemed to fade away as he focused solely on the hunt, his senses sharpening to a razor's edge.

As he closed in on the two beasts, he saw that the smaller one had managed to leave the larger one behind and was pulling ahead with all of his strength. Xua Yan marveled at its speed and agility, realizing that it must be a creature of great strength and skill. He felt a sense of admiration for the beast, even in the face of absolute strength he was fighting with all he had for staying alive.

As Xua Yan watched the scene unfold before him, he saw the larger beast hesitating for a moment before roaring and continuing its pursuit of the smaller beast. However, just as it seemed like the smaller beast was doomed, a new challenger appeared. A beast of equal size and power stepped out from the bushes, and it wasn't long before the two beasts began to clash in a fierce battle.

Xua Yan could sense the intensity of their fight as he watched from a safe distance. The ground shook beneath his feet as the two beasts slammed into each other with tremendous force. Claws and teeth flashed in the air as they traded blows, each trying to gain the upper hand.

But what amazed Xua Yan even more was the smaller beast's cunningness. It had used its speed and agility to lure the larger beast into a trap, leading it straight into the path of the other beast. It was a risky move, but it had paid off.

As the battle raged on, Xua Yan noticed that the smaller beast had not run away as he had expected it to. Instead, it was watching the fight with an intense focus, as if it was waiting for an opportunity to strike. Xua Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the smaller beast's bravery and intelligence.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the larger beast stumbled and fell to the ground, defeated. The other beast let out a triumphant roar and prepared the corpse of the larger beast to take with him. He was also injured in this fight and seems weak. The smaller beast emerged from its hiding spot and approached the beast who won the fight, and started fighting with him. That stronger beast could easily kill this smaller beast but was not able to do so because he was injured. Both of them fought on equal ground with no one willing to back off from the fight. After some time of fighting and running around the smaller beast managed to deliver a deadly strike to the larger beast which made the larger beast even weaker. And with some more effort and injuries the smaller beast was able to kill that larger beast.

Xua Yan realized that this was his chance. With the larger beast defeated and the smaller beast distracted, he could strike without being noticed. He activated his invisibility technique and moved in closer, ready to strike.
