Wolves and dogs have the same structure, with strengths and weaknesses known as ‘head as hard as copper, bones and tough and iron but waist as soft as tofu’.
As for the Iron-Back Hound,
As the name suggests, its back was extremely hard. To deal with one, the hunter needs to be wary of its pounces and bites. As long as the hunter dodges a few of its pounces, the Iron-Back Hound would quickly lose its stamina and show an opening.
At that time, even an ordinary martial arts student could deal with it as long as they were a little cautious.
But…
[No need!] Just as these memories surfaced in Chu Mo’s mind, the Iron-Back Hound had already pounced over with a whoosh.
Chu Mo’s eyes narrowed, he was not dodging or evading, and he directly threw out a punch!
Boom!
The punch struck out, wrapped in the power of lightning, his fist thunderously smashing into the Iron-Back Hound’s head.
A sound of shattering bones suddenly rang out. The Iron-Back Hound’s skull was shattered, and its entire body was sent flying.
It fell to the ground and was motionless!
Instant kill!
“With the enhancement of the power of lightning, I now can punch more than 6000 kilograms. I’m now comparable to a Late-Stage Martial Apprentice. A single Iron-Back Hound is not my match at all!” Chu Mo shook his head. He slowly stepped forward, used the small knife he carried with him to cut off one of the Iron-Back Hound’s forelegs.
This was proof that he had killed an Iron-Back Hound.
Afterwards, Chu Mo took out a few small bottles from his bosom, cut open the Iron-Back Hound’s heart, and poured its blood into the bottles.
Ferocious Beast Blood!
Although it was only a Low-Tier Level 1 Ferocious Beast, the blood it produced still had the effect of increasing the strength of a Martial Apprentice.
After handling everything, Chu Mo took the foreleg and Ferocious Beast Blood before continuing his way.
…
Time flew by,
Unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened.
In the dense forest, Chu Mo punched and killed the Mid-Tier Level 1 Ferocious Beast, the Silver Ring Viper, in front of him. He wiped the blood off his face and stood there, slowly calming his breathing.
After a day of fighting,including this Silver Ring Viper, Chu Mo had already killed seven Ferocious Beasts, all of Level 1 Mid-Tier or lower.
This increased his combat experience quite a bit, and his aura had become even sharper and more restrained.
“It’s already dark. It seems I need to find a safe place to rest for a while.” Looking up at the sky, Chu Mo softly said.
Night was the paradise of beasts. Many powerful Ferocious Beasts would awaken after the sun had set, and the wilderness would become even more dangerous.
That was why even Hunting Teams would find a safe place to recuperate at night and wait for dawn.
Although there are no powerful Ferocious Beast in this area, Chu Mo has already gone through several battles and was tired. Moreover, he has also obtained quite a stockpile of Ferocious Beast Blood, enough for him to cultivate with for a while.
Knowing this, Chu Mo removed the Silver Ring Viper’s gallbladder and poured its blood into bottles, then left.
A moment later, the sun completely set, and the night shrouded the earth.
In a hole within a huge tree, this was the den of a Mid-Tier Level 1 Mutated Squirrel, but it was killed by Chu Mo. Now that he needed to find a place to hide, he naturally thought of this place..
First, he set up a few warning traps at the entrance. As long as someone triggered them, it would send out an alarm.
In the wild, one needed to be extremely cautious.
During the day, Chu Mo also saw Communication Flares occasionally appearing in various parts of the dense forest. It seems like those students encountered some kind of danger.
Although there were teachers going to rescue them, whether those students could hold on until reinforcements arrived was unknown.
In other words, just on the first day of the trial, quite a few people may have already lost their life. Furthermore, this being the wilderness that had already been cleared and had its danger level greatly reduced.
The danger of the unexplored wilderness was unimaginable.
“Only by working hard to increase one’s strength can one survive in such an era!” Shaking his head, he dispelled such thoughts.
Chu Mo went deeper into the hole and took out the Ferocious Beast Blood.
The bottle was only half full.
The blood of seven Ferocious Beast definitely was not this little. It was that the Ferocious Beast Blood cultivators used was not ordinary blood. It had to be blood directly from the beast’s heart.
It was only natural that there was not that much blood when it was only a heart’s worth.
Chu Mo killed a total of seven Ferocious Beasts and only got this much.
“It’s about five portions.” Chu Mo estimated, then pulled out the cap and took a big gulp.
Surging energy immediately spread throughout his body.
Chu Mo didn’t dare to slack off and immediately started using the Body Tempering Technique to begin training.
In the night, the roars of beasts in the dense forest rose and fell, while Chu Mo was focused on tempering his body, working hard to improve his strength.
…
The next morning, Chu Mo woke up in high spirits.
Last night, drinking that portion of Ferocious Beast Blood had increased his strength by nearly a hundred kilograms. Although the effect wasn’t that potent, if he could continue drinking more Ferocious Beast Blood, the benefits would be huge.
Under normal circumstances, after drinking a portion of Ferocious Beast Blood, an ordinary cultivator would need at least a month to be capable of digesting more.
During this period, if one continued to consume more, it was very easy to cause their internal energy to riot.
It had to be noted that the digestion time also depends on one’s Talent. The stronger one’s Talent and Physique, the shorter the time interval.
With Chu Mo’s Mid-Tier Cultivation Physique and Inferior Lightning Element Talent, the time needed was three days.
In other words, the next time he could consume more Ferocious Beast Blood would be after three days.
“At this rate, in a month, I would be able to consume it ten times. Even if it’s Low-Tier Ferocious Beast Blood, I can still increase my strength by a thousand kilograms without much effort!”
Chu Mo was very satisfied with this progress.
At the same time, he also understood why cultivators with high Talent and Physique would progress rapidly, while those with poor Talent and Physique would progress slowly.
It was because of how much and how quickly they could digest Ferocious Beast Blood; along with the difference in Talent and Physique, the spiritual energy they could absorb when using a Body Tempering Technique was vastly different.
With these factors combined, how could the gap be less than tenfold or hundredfold?!
After washing up and performing a set of the Twenty-One Forms Body Tempering Technique to warm up, he then took out a large piece of beast meat he had cut off last night and started roasting it.
Half an hour later, after eating his fill, he packed all his things and continued towards the depths of the dense forest.
Yesterday, he had been wandering around the periphery. The beasts he killed were all Low and Mid-Tier Level 1. For him, this no longer posed any difficulty.
Today, Chu Mo planned to try a High-Tier Level 1 Ferocious Beast.
He wanted to see where his limit was.
However, after walking for a moment, Chu Mo vaguely heard the sound of intense fighting coming from up ahead.
He immediately went over to check.
Arriving at a thicket, Chu Mo looked over.
He saw that about a hundred meters away, in an open area, a student was fighting against a Ferocious Beast.
The aftermath of the battle was devastating, knocking down and cutting all the big trees around.
That Ferocious Beast was a giant bear four or five meters tall, with a sturdy build, carrying a heavy imposing manner. With every move, it brought a terrifying sound of air being torn.
Its might was so great that the student simply couldn’t withstand it and could only retreat.
“It’s a Giant Berserker Bear!” Chu Mo immediately recognized what this Ferocious Beast was.
The Giant Berserker Bear was a High-Tier Level 1 Ferocious Beast. It was immensely strong, and even Martial Artists would have a hard time dealing with it!
“The academy has records of it. Wherever a Giant Berserker Bear appears, there must be a Spirit Beehive nearby!”
Inside the Spirit Beehive, there were bound to be Spirit Bees.
The strength of these bees was negligible, but they could produce Spirit Honey. When consumed by a cultivator, it could increase the speed of their body tempering and even help them digest more Ferocious Beast Blood!
[If I can get that Spirit Honey, it would greatly shorten the digestion interval for me, allowing me to drink more Ferocious Beast Blood! Such a treasure can’t be missed!] Chu Mo thought and directly rushed over.
