PDLP Chapter 7: Slaying a Tier 2 Beast with a Single Strike
Chapter 7: Slaying a Tier 2 Beast with a Single Strike
"Ye Feng?" Lei Xiong frowned. "When did you arrive?"
"Just arrived." Ye Feng walked to Lei Xiong's side, then looked at the middle-aged man in the black suit, "How many of those second-tier beasts did this gentleman mention?"
The middle-aged man was clearly surprised that Ye Feng would take the initiative to step forward. He was slightly taken aback, but then his heart was filled with joy.
I didn't expect that the provocation I just used would actually work!
"What, you actually dare to plot against a second-tier beast?"
"I asked how many there are," Ye Feng said calmly.
The middle-aged man's eyes turned slightly cold: "Ten second-tier exotic beasts, but I must warn you, these exotic beasts are not the first-tier kittens and puppies."
"Ten?" Ye Feng interrupted him, his smile widening.
Ten second-tier exotic beasts.
Based on yesterday's experience, killing a monster will grant you 10 kill points.
Although second-tier beasts are definitely more difficult to deal with than first-tier ones, the kill value they give will also be higher.
You should get at least 20 kill points for killing one, right?
His current Qi and Blood is 1888, only 112 points away from the second-tier threshold of 2000 points.
Even if each of the ten second-tier beasts gives him 20 kill points, the total would be enough for him to break through to the second tier.
What's more, he also has two purple entries.
What is the power of the combination punches "Lingbo Weibu" and "Shun" in the hands of a first-level martial artist?
He couldn't wait to try it.
"Instructor Lei," Ye Feng turned to Lei Xiong, "I accept this challenge. I'll handle all ten second-tier alien beasts."
"Are you crazy?" Lei Xiong lowered his voice. "A second-tier beast is not something you can handle! Even those second-tier martial artists who have broken through for two or three years wouldn't dare say they can definitely defeat a second-tier beast."
He paused, because he suddenly noticed something.
The aura emanating from Ye Feng...
"You've broken through to the late stage of Tier 1?" Lei Xiong's eyes widened.
When Ye Feng left the martial arts school yesterday, he was still a prospective martial artist.
It's only been one night, how come it's already in the later stages?
Ye Feng didn't explain further, he just smiled and said, "Instructor Lei, trust me."
Lei Xiong stared at Ye Feng for several seconds, seemingly unable to see through the young man in front of him.
"Okay, I'll trust you this once."
"Thanks."
The middle-aged man standing to the side watched this scene with a cold smile.
Ignorant of one's own limitations.
He wanted to challenge a second-tier beast when he was only at the first tier.
He turned his head and glanced at the rest area.
There were a few young people there.
The leader was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in an expensive martial arts uniform.
He is Li Mo.
The eldest son of the Li family in Jiangcheng, a prominent figure at Wuhan University in Jiangcheng.
He had already reached the late stage of the first rank at the age of nineteen, and was a recognized martial arts genius.
At only seventeen years old, he awakened the purple attribute "Sky-Splitting Slash".
They are also the future hope of the entire Li family.
He was the one who was preparing to replace Ye Feng and be recommended to the Taoist Academy.
"Young Master! He has accepted the challenge," a weasel-faced lackey beside Li Mo whispered.
"I heard you." Li Mo's gaze fell on Ye Feng, as if he were looking at a clown.
A quasi-martial artist with a white attribute is about to challenge a second-tier alien beast.
That's practically suicide!
"Was it that serious injury that time that damaged your brain? Or did you just give up and do nothing?"
The death of Ye Feng's predecessor was orchestrated by Li Mo.
He just didn't expect that a soul would transmigrate and occupy Ye Feng's body.
"Young Master is right! He's just out of his mind," another lackey quickly chimed in.
"This kid doesn't know his own limitations. A piece of trash with only a white-level skill point, does he even deserve a spot in the Dao Academy's guaranteed admission program?"
"Exactly! It would be best if they just got eaten by some monster!"
"Alright." Li Mo raised his hand to interrupt his follower.
"Ten second-tier beasts are enough to make him face reality."
……
On the training ground
"I've examined those ten strange beasts. Some are at the early or even mid-stage of the second tier, and there's even one at the late stage of the second tier."
"Your swordsmanship is quite powerful, but I'm worried that your speed won't keep up," Instructor Lei said with concern.
"Speed? Instructor, don't worry." Ye Feng's lips curled up.
What he has in abundance is speed!
Lei Xiong was stunned for a moment, and he looked Ye Feng up and down.
Something has definitely changed about this young man.
It's not an improvement in cultivation level, but a profound change.
Confidence, or rather, self-assurance.
"Is your purple entry...?" Lei Xiong asked tentatively.
He knew that Ye Feng's purple attribute was a talent skill related to speed.
Ye Feng did not answer directly, but simply stretched out one hand with his five fingers spread.
The next moment, Lei Xiong's pupils suddenly contracted.
Ye Feng's body seemed to be fast-forwarded, leaving an afterimage in place.
In an instant
His true form had already appeared three meters away.
But the afterimage remained in the same place.
Lifelike, as if it were the real thing.
Even the folds in the hem of the clothes were clearly visible.
It took a full second for it to slowly dissipate.
"This is……"
Lei Xiong's voice trembled slightly.
He had seen many speed-related modifiers, but he had never heard of one that could produce such an effect at the first level.
Moreover, this doesn't seem to be a talent attribute that Ye Feng awakened before.
Could this kid have awakened a second time?
"So, instructor, you can rest assured now?" Ye Feng withdrew his hand.
Not far away, Li Mo's expression changed.
He was more than ten meters away from Ye Feng and couldn't see the specific details clearly.
But he still sensed the change in Ye Feng's speed in that instant.
"Has his injury healed?"
"How is this possible!"
"However!" A smile returned to his lips.
"Speed alone is not enough. The defense of a second-tier beast is not something a quasi-martial artist like you can break through."
"Let me see how long you can last."
His judgment was still lacking; he failed to notice that Ye Feng was already a late-stage first-tier martial artist.
……
In the training ground, the iron gate of the animal cage was opened.
A foul stench swept over us, accompanied by a low, incessant roar.
The first strange beast appeared.
It is an ironback wolf, nearly two meters long.
Its body was covered in dark gray scales, its limbs were thick, and its fangs were dripping with blood.
As soon as it entered the training ground, it smelled the human scent and immediately arched its body.
Let out a low growl!
Be prepared to attack at any time!
But Ye Feng stood still.
There was not a hint of nervousness.
In his eyes, this strange beast was simply a walking killing machine!
He casually placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, bent his legs slightly, lowered his body slightly, and placed his weight on his right back foot.
He executed the starting stance of the sword-drawing technique.
The Ironback Wolf seemed to sense something.
Its hind legs were slightly bent, ready to attack the human in front of it at any moment.
On the training field, everyone held their breath.
Lei Xiong's fists clenched even tighter involuntarily.
suddenly!
"roar!"
The Ironback Wolf roared and launched the first attack.
It struck Ye Feng like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for his face.
The speed was astonishing; the claws tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
For an ordinary first-tier martial artist, facing such speed, there would be almost no chance of dodging.
But Ye Feng is not an ordinary first-tier cultivator.
He has two purple attributes.
He didn't need to hide at all.
Just as the Ironback Wolf's claws were about to reach his face.
Ye Feng's body suddenly became blurry.
A fleeting afterimage remained in place, while the true form had already appeared beside the Ironback Wolf.
At the same time, Ye Feng slashed down with his long sword.
A gleaming blade flashed across the training ground.
Sword Drawing Technique!
Instant slash!
The blade flashed through the air, precisely slicing into the gaps in the Ironback Wolf's neck scales.
Those scales can withstand direct hits from large-caliber bullets.
But under Ye Feng's full-force strike of the sword-drawing technique, it was as brittle as paper.
The Ironback Wolf let out a mournful howl, lost its balance in mid-air, and crashed heavily to the ground, sliding several meters away.
It struggled to stand up.
But the wound on his neck was too deep, and blood gushed out like a spring, staining a large area of the ground red.
A few seconds later, the Ironback Wolf stopped struggling.
The training ground was completely silent.
Everyone stared blankly at the beast's corpse on the ground.
Kill a second-tier alien beast with a single strike?
Am I dreaming?
Lei Xiong opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a single word.
On the viewing platform, Li Mo's smile froze on his face.
His henchmen were dumbfounded, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.
Ye Feng simply sheathed his longsword, a notification popping up in his mind.
[Ding! Killed a Tier 2 beast, Ironback Wolf, gaining 50 kill points]
[Ding! First kill of a Tier 2 alien beast, achieving the achievement 'One Second True Man', gaining 3 achievement points]
Fifty kill points.
There are three more achievement points.
The kill count is higher than expected.
Surprisingly, there are also three achievement points.
Ye Feng's lips slowly curled up as he turned to look at the middle-aged man whose face was filled with shock.
"Next one."
Ye Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
His tone was unusually calm, as if he were saying, "The weather is nice today."
At this moment, Ye Feng had only one thought in his mind.
Ten second-tier beasts would amount to 500 kill points.
With the previous 1888 points of Qi and Blood, it's enough for him to break through to the second tier.
There's even a surplus.
"This increase in combat power," Ye Feng silently calculated in his mind, "is probably greater than four years of university."
"University? Or a Taoist academy with guaranteed admission?"
He glanced at the iron-backed wolf carcass on the ground, his smile widening.
Even dogs wouldn't go.
"Whoever wants to go can go! I just want to go to the front lines and kill alien beasts!"
