145 - A Mad Lad?
“Who’s this, Brother?” Serena asked as Darius helped her get up.“He’s the one who saved me from the drumtail monkeys last night,” Darius said, surprising her very much.“What?” Serena keenly observed Gunnar.His face was strikingly handsome, with fair skin toned by the sun. Sharp eyebrows, as dark as ink, arched over a pair of deep brown eyes that appeared black until light hit them.His nose was straight and well-defined. But it was smooth hair that was blowing to the wind that caught her attention. That thick back hair, silky as midnight, with a few loose strands framing his face made Serena feel jealous.She had never seen a male with such lively hair before even though Gunnar’s hair wasn’t long now because his mother had made sure to cut his hair, probably predicting that he’d make many girls’ hearts drop otherwise.“He saved you?” Serena found it hard to believe. “What do you mean he saved you?”“I don’t know the full details, either,” Darius said. “But when I woke up this morn
144 - Flame Fox
“Get down!” Calvin shouted.“What?” Serena immediately ducked as fast as she could.A flaming arc cut through where her chest had been.It came from a malignous fox that was standing atop a boulder, flaunting its whitish red tail.“Your opponent is me!” Calvin leaped forth and cleaved the glaive through the air.The fox’s tail grew in length and size and blocked Calvin’s attack.The flames made it very difficult for him to keep pushing, and he had to jump back.“Krgh, these flames are so hot…” part of his clothes melted. “If not for my aura, I’d have been reduced to ashes.”“Why is a Flame Fox roaming at the edge of these mountains?” Serena nervously asked as she witnessed the four-foot-tall fox.It might look small, but its flames lit up the neighborhood. The fox did not seem to care to announce its position, showing its confidence.“Seeing how it’s controlling flames at will, it’s definitely a Core Beast,” Calvin said. “I’m an Early Expert, but I don’t think I can get past its defen
143 - The Breathing Techniques
Darius caught up with Gunnar. He put his polearm on his shoulder and walked next to him. “You look so young, but you are quite strong. How did you do that?”This was a question Gunnar never thought someone would ask him.“I’m not strong,” Gunnar replied.“You are being too humble,” Darius chortled. “You fought a mossback wolf that even experts won’t have an easy time against. Yet you managed to defeat it with your bare fists. What’s more, the technique you used was Stone Knuckle, wasn’t it? I have seen the fist clan members use it multiple times during competitions, but I’ve never seen it be explosive. Something about your technique or whatever it is… it’s clearly superior. What kind of a breathing technique do you use?”“I can’t tell you about it,” Gunnar said.“Haha, why not?” Darius looked at his glaive. “My clan members use the Heavy Heart breathing technique. When you hold a heavy weapon like this polearm and repeatedly swing it, it puts quite a lot of stress on not just your arm
142 - Essence Pocket
Gunnar wiped his bloody hands to the mossed back of the dead wolf.The bushes moved.Gunnar immediately turned around.To his surprise, it was Darius who broke out of the bush.“I thought you left,” Gunnar said.“I wanted to, but I couldn’t.”“Couldn’t? What does that mean?” Gunnar questioned. “You didn’t even step in to help.”“That’s because it never really looked like you needed help,” Darius said, chortling, and he walked straight toward the wolf.“Are you trying to take its core?” Gunnar asked.“How can I?” Darius flipped the wolf over with great effort, the huffed a few times. “Damn, it’s so heavy. First, we have to check if it has the core or not.”“I don’t think it has a core,” Gunnar said.“What makes you so sure about it?”“It was able to move the vines, but only barely,” Gunnar said. “I think it was only gathering essence in its body. So, be careful when cutting it.”“Alright,” Darius cut open the wolf’s belly with his polearm.Blood poured out.Darius put the weapon aside
141 - Knuckling His Way Through
Gunnar did not take his eyes off the mossback wolf.It stood taller than him, dark green moss clinging to its broad shoulders like weathered armor. Its brownish, amber eyes watched Gunnar without the slightest hint of fear.It was Gunnar.Gunnar could tell even though it wasn’t drooling.He took deep breaths, trying to stabilize his aura. He felt the need to do that after receiving the hits from the heavy-bodied wolf.“You can’t beat it,” Darius shouted from a distance. “Stop fighting and run!”The wolf growled, lowered its body, and exploded forward.Gunnar didn't retreat. “Split Step.” Aura burst beneath his right foot, and his body abruptly shifted half a stride to the left.The wolf's jaws snapped shut where his neck had been an instant earlier.Gunnar’s right foot slid some more as he got into the position and swiftly threw a punch.His knuckles landed firmly on the wolf’s face, but it moved his head away at the last moment, then pawed at him while rolling its body.Its claws str
140 - The Resolve of the Youth
The sky dew flowers were known to bloom at sunrise, and they were famous for burning fat and also improving muscle and tendon movement.These flowers were gifted in many sects to the winners of competitions because they were tremendously beneficial to those seeking to improve their lightfoot technique or their agility in general.These flowers appear to be floating in the air, but they weren’t actually floating. They were actually connected by a thin frame of wire that was not easily noticeable. So, from a distance, the flower looked like it was floating.One of the reasons Darius came to Herbberg was to find these flowers.He surely wasn’t expecting to find one so soon.Naturally, even when he saw a deep orange sky dew flower, which was the least effective among its kinds, Darius ran like a moth to a flame, completely not recognizing the moss-covered boulder that the flower seemingly floated atop of.The boulder turned into an eight-foot tall gray-skinned mossbacked wolf and pounced
