Chapter 15: Mission Accomplished

In the Martial Realm, although spiritual energy can enter the body, it cannot be projected outward. If Chu Xiaotian could have projected his spiritual energy, his sword aura would have made the battle much easier.

"Now, there's no way back. I must fight with all I have," Chu Xiaotian thought, his eyes hardening as he faced the wolf pack. His gaze became intense and bright, like the radiance of stars.

"Kill."

Holding the Sky-Cleaving Sword, he unsheathed it with a swift motion.

"Clang..."

His incredibly fast strike took a wolf by surprise, killing it instantly.

"Awooo!"

His action further enraged the wolves, with the alpha wolf leading a furious assault. Chu Xiaotian found himself overwhelmed, unable to fend off the simultaneous attacks from so many wolves.

"Heavy Sword Technique!"

He unleashed the Sky-Cleaving Sword with a powerful strike.

The force, bolstered by Sword Intent, was like a ten-thousand-pound mountain crushing down on a wolf, sending it flying.

"Clang clang clang..."

The Sky-Cleaving Sword kept striking, each blow causing blood to spill and further enraging the wolves.

Despite being outnumbered, Chu Xiaotian managed to fend off the wolves, slowly making his way towards the alpha wolf. His only chance of survival was to kill the leader.

As he approached, the alpha wolf sensed the threat. It dispelled the pack and finally took action. Its cold gaze sent shivers down Chu Xiaotian's spine, and its aura seemed to lower the surrounding temperature.

"Whoosh!"

The alpha wolf charged with incredible speed, rivaling Chu Xiaotian's Breeze Step technique.

"Clang!"

Facing the alpha wolf, Chu Xiaotian didn't dare to underestimate it. He countered with his sword, blocking the wolf's lethal claws.

"Heavy Sword Technique!"

Another powerful strike thundered through.

"Boom boom boom..."

The force of the blow staggered the alpha wolf, pushing it back several steps.

"Come on."

The alpha wolf, feeling the pressure, prepared for a final, desperate attack. Chu Xiaotian took a deep breath, gathering all his strength and Sword Intent.

"Whoosh!"

The wolf lunged, its claws shimmering dangerously close to Chu Xiaotian.

"Draw Sword Technique!"

With 60% Sword Intent and all his spiritual energy, Chu Xiaotian struck with his sword.

"Clang--"

The sword roared like thunder, its speed blindingly fast.

"Boom!"

Just as the wolf was about to reach him, Chu Xiaotian's sword hit first. The force of the Heavy Sword Technique blasted through the wolf's body, shattering its internal organs and bones.

"Thud..."

The two-meter-tall alpha wolf was flung away, tumbling several meters before coming to a stop.

"Awooo!"

The surrounding wolves, sensing the death of their leader, let out mournful howls. They looked at Chu Xiaotian with green, glowing eyes, intensifying the tension.

Exhausted to his limit, Chu Xiaotian could barely stand. His spiritual energy and Sword Intent were depleted, leaving him defenseless against any further attacks.

"Thud... Thud..."

Finally, the wolves dispersed, realizing the alpha was dead and no longer guided them.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the primary mission!"

As the wolves left, the system's voice echoed in Chu Xiaotian's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the primary mission. Reward: 2000 points."

"Host: Chu Xiaotian."

"Identity: Orphan."

"Cultivation: Sixth Realm of Martial Arts."

"Physique: Supreme God Body."

"Treasure: Sky-Cleaving Sword, Lower Grade Spiritual Weapon (Growth Type)."

"Cultivation Technique: Qiankun Heaven and Earth Jue."

"Martial Skills: Draw Sword Technique (Perfected), Heavy Sword Technique (Perfected), Breeze Step (Perfected)."

"Divine Power: Supreme Suppression."

"Sect: Divine Sword Academy."

"Intent: Sword Intent: 6%."

"Points: 2000."

Seeing his points replenished, Chu Xiaotian exhaled deeply, feeling relieved and empowered with the newly acquired points.

"Old Chu, congratulations! You actually killed so many wolves."

Little Fatty emerged from his hiding spot, congratulating Chu Xiaotian.

"You were watching all along?"

Surprised by Little Fatty's sudden appearance, Chu Xiaotian asked, somewhat annoyed.

"Hehehe... I had to. The peak master has rules: those in the Spirit Origin Realm can't attack these wild beasts. But I could have helped you in a critical situation, though not kill them," Little Fatty explained.

"Really?"

Chu Xiaotian was slightly incredulous, but Little Fatty seemed serious.

"Let

's head back. I haven't eaten wild meat from the back mountain in a long time, even though wolf meat isn't that tasty."

Little Fatty nodded earnestly and then strung the ten wolves and the alpha wolf on tree branches, carrying them all away.

Chu Xiaotian didn't object, knowing the wolves had no value beyond their meat. In the forest, the law of the strong preying on the weak prevailed.

"Uncle Fu, we brought some game from the back mountain. Could you help us with it?"

Little Fatty, with Chu Xiaotian, approached Uncle Fu, the sweeping elder, to ask for assistance.

"Put it down. Call Little Bai Li and Xi'er over."

Uncle Fu instructed after hearing Little Fatty's request.

"Alright."

Little Fatty hurried off to summon Bai Li and Xi'er for a feast of roasted meat. Uncle Fu swiftly and skillfully prepared the wolves for cooking, displaying expert culinary skills.
