Wulin : Martial Heroes

Chapter 09: Sneak Attack

Modify skill is one of his ability he got when reaching Understanding Oneself state.

To modify skill, he needs to use either fame points or infamy points or his own understanding of martial path to modify skill

As for now, his fame point and infamy points is very little. As for modifying the skill itself, there is also points that is needed.

Introductory level martial arts need to pay (15) fifteen points to modify the skill.

The higher the mastery of the level of that technique at the time of modifying the skill, the lower this price will become

Beginner level martial arts need to pay (25) twenty-five t points to modify the skill.

 The higher the mastery of the level of that technique at the time of modifying the skill, the lower this price will become

Intermediate level martial arts need to pay (45) forty-five points to modify the skill.

The higher the mastery of the level of that technique at the time of modifying the skill, the lower this price will become

High level martial arts need to pay (60) sixty points to modify the skill.

The higher the mastery of the level of that technique at the time of modifying the skill, the lower this price will become

Master level martial arts need to pay (80) eighty points to modify the skill. The higher the mastery of the level of that technique at the time of modifying the skill, the lower this price will become

Supreme skill could only be modified based on his own understanding of the martial path.

While thinking of this he is gathering his inner energy.

There are still a few wolves left in the distance

But maybe it was because they were deterred so badly like this, some of them even felt fearful to come forward.

This is better for Li Xin as his inner energy has now reached fifteen years of inner energy. But then it became slower and Li Xin could only sigh.

Then he walks toward the few other scattered wolves. He did not use his inner energy or his lightness skill and instead walk normally toward the gang of wolves near the caves

He is not intending to waste his inner energy. He felt a bit fatigue. It is not easy for someone of his age to have this much of inner energy and at the same time also possess great swords skill.

His sword tip is pointed toward the ground as the sword dragged into the ground, creating a cut on the ground.

As he walks, he gathers momentum and his breath stabilized. The wind around him seems to be heated up

His eyes looking at the wolves is like a predator looking at its prey. When he swings his sword, all of his strike is swift and lethal.

Even when he throws the dagger it is the same.

The method of attacking is varied but basic.

But basic itself did not mean weak.

It is precisely because it is basic move that it works so wonderfully with the pack of wolves.

There is no need to make a feint or complicated moves to confound the enemy because these wolves are rabid wolves and doing so would only waste time and energy.

But each of the attack he had executed requires high concentration of focus and quick reflex. All of this drains his inner energy.

This matter is exacerbated by his inner energy control that is not very good. Every attack that is imbued with his inner energy always would have a waste

Not only that, his stamina is also drained. That is why he thought of buying a few of body strengthening methods later

After all, he had already gathered enough points to do a mass level up. Before he did not do it because there is no need to

One of the advantage of knowing the future plot is that you could take it easy on some parts and do not have to rush.

Knowing there would not be many dangers, other than a few swordsmanship skill and a lot of lightness skill, Li Xin did not buy that many skills from the System Store and instead opting to keep the points

Since the appointed time is near, Li Xin is ready to use all of the points that he had accumulated.

He arrives just a few meter before the cave. Around the cave is the dead bodies of the wolves. And snarling at him from a distance is six wolves.

He had regained back twenty years of his inner energy. It is enough to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

The reason he gathers his inner energy is not to deal with the wolves. To kill only six wolves does not require that much inner energy

He could also use only his sword to kill these wolves. After all, when he first came here, one of the most frequent quest he got was to annihilate the wolves.

Back then, he did not possess his current inner energy but he still could kill those wolves.

While he could also kill them with trap, Li Xin found out that the points given by the system for killing them with a trap is lower than if he is to kill them by himself.

And if he kills them by using traps, instead of martial skill points he would get Life Skill points because trapping is one of the skills of hunters.

The reason he quickly restores back his inner energy is because he remembers a very common thing about Jianghu and that is never let your guard down.

Maybe there is an expert watching and waiting for him to get exhausted.

Or maybe there is other kinds of trap.

Even though it looks impossible for there to be such a trap right now, Li Xin would always be this cautious until he reaches Grandmaster level

With twenty years of inner energy, if someone ambushes him right now, he had the capital to survive.

He always wonders who the hell poisoned these wolves? There must be an owner to these wolves.

But Li Xin could not find anything in a week he had been patrolling the area.

But the more he does not know about the enemy, the more he became cautious.

He had been eradicating wolves for the past week with great success.

Some of them are just wolves that wanted to attack him because he is food to them but most of the wolves he had killed is these kind of rabid wolves.

And he still had a lot of pills and other items he had bought from the system store. Unless it is a grandmaster, Li Xin is very confident that even if he could not defeat anyone that would ambush him, he would be able to escape

He takes a deep breath and takes another step toward the wolves. The wolves look at him and roars toward him but Li Xin only smiles at this.

But not before long, the wolves then gather together and like it has gathered its courage, one of the wolves runs toward him, and the other five follows.

They are all charging toward him, their claws seem to claws out the earth and did not slip even while travelling on the blood soaked ground.

‘Three feet’ he said to himself

The wolf is coming closer. Five feet. He slowly closed his eyes Four feet, his eyes are still closed and then as he could feel the wind and heard the sound, he smiles

It is three feet and his eyes opened wide

Three wolf lunges toward him, three flashes of light appeared. The wolf howls in pain, and then whimpers before they no longer have any sound

One had its head separated with one clean slash, the other two had two dagger drill deeply into their forehead

Li Xian moves quickly. He need to finish it fast. Because he already felt the gaze behind his back. Then executing Swift Stride, he jumps upwards.

The other three wolf that is slightly late miss their target.

Up in the air, Li Xin swing a crescent slash with his sword. The three wolves who still did not land onto the ground is in position like a straight line up in the air.

Li Xin smiles and then moves his hand and the sword moves, the wind follows and a sword light flashes

 When the crescent slash was used, the two wolf at the side had heavy injury at the back of its neck.

But the one in the middle had light wounds.

Li Xin landed. The three wolves also landed on the ground, their blood is already dripping from their wounds.

Two of the wolves’ whimpers in pain as blood keep pouring out from its wound.

One of the wolf is angry, blood dripping from the light wound on the back of its neck. Seeing Li Xin, that wolf lunges again.

Without turning his head back, Li Xin thrust the sword backward from his kneeling position.

The sound of something being ripped could be heard.

Li Xin sword stab the opening of the wolf mouth, piercing through the wolf stomach like it is being skewered.

Li Xin breathing is hard right now. His eyes look toward the tree on the side and his expression is bad.

‘Someone was there’ he thought to himself.
