Chapter 45

Over the next few days, Lin Zheng continuously practiced in the hot and cold springs. With the experience of practicing in the hot spring, Lin Zheng made ample preparations before entering the cold spring, but he still ended up in a sorry state.

The unremarkable spring had no visible form of coldness, but as soon as he entered the water, his entire body stiffened. His blood, spiritual energy, and even his bone marrow felt as if they were freezing. Eventually, Lin Zheng found himself unable to move even a finger. In the end, it was the rogue wolf who kindly flicked his tail to pull Lin Zheng out of the cold spring!

Well, actually, before that, the wolf had been hiding and secretly laughing for a long time. It wasn't until Lin Zheng could no longer hold on that the wolf decided to lend a tail to help!

Lying on the shore, Lin Zheng was like a big ice lump, emitting a chill. It took a long time for him to gradually regain his senses. The spiritual energy inside his body slowly began to circulate. Lin Zheng discovered that after this freezing, the speed of the spiritual energy's circulation had increased, and his body's strength had also improved, even if only slightly. This still made Lin Zheng very excited.

After regaining his senses, Lin Zheng sat in the same spot, pondering for a long time before entering the cold spring again. The intense cold continuously entered his body, and the originally fast-moving spiritual energy began to slow down. His muscles and bones froze again, and his muscle cells began to condense repeatedly.

Having discovered these two divine springs, Lin Zheng's subsequent practice became even more intense. Apart from absorbing spiritual energy daily and continuously battling wild beasts, he spent all his other time in the two divine springs, even sleeping in the spring water.

Day after day, Lin Zheng's transformation became increasingly evident.

One day, while meditating in the hot spring, Lin Zheng suddenly opened his eyes. Countless streams of spiritual energy from the valley surged into Lin Zheng's body, and he slowly floated in the air. His exposed skin gradually changed from a bronze color to a dark gold, then to a white jade color, and finally, the light slowly sank into his skin.

Seeing this, the rogue wolf, who was leisurely strolling in the distance wearing large shorts, felt a jolt in his heart. He grinned and said, "Wow, he skipped three levels, both his body and cultivation broke through. How long has it been? Is it because the accumulated practice has started to burst forth? Or because the power inside his body has awakened? Or maybe from his previous life..."

He couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure it out! Looking at Lin Zheng in the air, the rogue wolf placed his hands behind his back, stepped back with his left leg, and a pebble flew through the air and hit Lin Zheng's buttocks! Then the rogue wolf heard a scream and the sound of someone splashing into the water!

A slap on the butt for every breakthrough! The rogue wolf grinned and walked away!

In the vast mountains, a man and a wolf continuously darted through the forest. A wolf standing upright, wearing large shorts, was leaping and dodging in the woods, while the human was barely keeping up behind the wolf.

"Damn! Who has two legs here, this is unfair!" the human kept shouting.

The big wolf, hearing this, sped up and darted forward several dozen meters. After a long time, the man and the wolf finally stopped running.

"Cough, I said, Old Wolf, now that I have decent cultivation, why can a pebble make me feel such intense pain?"

"Growl... First, I didn't throw the pebble, and even if I did, can a mere child imagine the skills of a wolf?"

"Who else could it be?"

"Growl! Hurry up, let's get to your village, where there's good food. I'm tired of eating fish every day."

"..."

The sound still echoed in the air, and the two figures darted off again.

From sunrise to sunset, the man and the wolf stopped by a small stream.

"I said, can we change the place? I feel like vomiting when I see fish now!"

"You can go catch some wild game!" Lin Zheng began to practice on the spot, not wanting to waste a single moment.

"Kid, our speed is too slow. We need to speed up, or how will we ever finish?"

"Whatever!"

Hehe, the rogue wolf showed a cunning smile and slowly walked into the distant woods. Soon, he returned with several wild chickens and rabbits.

The moonlight was gentle, and Lin Zheng began to miss Li Ruoshui and everyone else. The night breeze was cool, and the night was hazy. At this moment, an unpleasant sound appeared.

"Growl! Let's go, chicken and rabbit are all meat..." The rogue wolf was happily eating a chicken leg in one hand and a rabbit leg in the other, with a pile of bones on the ground, indicating he had already eaten a lot.

A discordant howl shattered all of Lin Zheng's tender thoughts!

Lin Zheng glared at the rogue wolf, thinking, "Wait, when I become powerful, I'll settle accounts with you second. Who's first? Who else but that perverted old man who made me carry the blame for three years?"

Lin Zheng's face was dark, and he looked at the rogue wolf with displeasure. The rogue wolf, seeing Lin Zheng's gloomy face, became even happier and went to catch more wild chickens to roast.

"Growl... A wolf's life should be full of joy, growl..."

Lin Zheng angrily sealed his ears with spiritual energy and began to rest. With the rogue wolf around, he couldn't practice well tonight, so he decided to sleep!

"Tsk tsk, I heard human potential is boundless, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow!" The rogue wolf muttered to himself for a while and then rested. However, a mysterious smile lingered on his lips.

The next morning, the man and the wolf started their journey. Lin Zheng was still following behind the rogue wolf. Suddenly, the rogue wolf grinned, and a cacophony of sounds began to appear. Large spiders, the size of grinding stones, and centipedes, the size of a leg, crawled out from all directions.

Lin Zheng's scalp tingled, and he asked, "Where did all these spiders and centipedes come from?"

"Don't know," the rogue wolf replied casually.

"Bad! Let's go!" Lin Zheng darted out of the encirclement and began to run forward at full speed. He clearly saw among the countless spiders a type called the Absolute Poison Spider. If one were to be bitten, the entire body would begin to age, and key parts would suffer significant damage. Lin Zheng didn't want to be impotent at a young age.

After running for a long time, Lin Zheng stopped to rest. At this moment, countless wolves appeared around him, their numbers like a flood, surging towards Lin Zheng.

Without a word, Lin Zheng ran. There were too many, and the sight stretched endlessly. Even though Lin Zheng's strength was not weak, there was no need to fight them to the death, right?

On the way, countless wild beasts began to appear, not just one or a few, but in large groups, like a migration. Lin Zheng seemed to be on the path of the wild beasts' migration.

Lin Zheng gritted his teeth and moved forward quickly. He didn't have a chance to stop all day until night fell, and the wild beasts stopped chasing.

Lin Zheng plopped down on a large rock, his eyes cautiously scanning the surroundings. After confirming there was no abnormality, he lay down and began to breathe heavily. The distance he had traveled today was more than the total of the past few days, and he was getting closer to the village.

Lin Zheng was so exhausted he couldn't even speak. He realized for the first time that running could be so exhausting. No wonder, with all his spiritual energy used for running and his mind highly concentrated, he had to occasionally avoid sudden dangers and ensure rapid progress.

After lying down for a while, when Lin Zheng got up, he noticed the rogue wolf smiling strangely at him. Instantly, Lin Zheng remembered what the rogue wolf had said last night, and all the questions were answered. It must have been the rogue wolf's doing. In the valley, he could make agreements with the wild beasts, and now these wild beasts were no problem for him!

Thinking of this, Lin Zheng roared, "Rogue Wolf, prepare to die, I'll fight you to the end!"

Lin Zheng darted towards the rogue wolf, and the two instantly began a fist and claw battle! What made the rogue wolf depressed was that Lin Zheng's physical training seemed to be even stronger than he had imagined. In a physical fight, he was starting to be at a disadvantage!

Moreover, the rogue wolf noticed that Lin Zheng's movements had changed dramatically since their first fight. It was now much harder to bite him, but Lin Zheng still paid the price of his youth!

The rogue wolf was a formidable wolf, a fighting wolf among rogues!

In the end, Lin Zheng was covered in bite marks, with a few wolf marks on key parts! The rogue wolf's large shorts had turned into small shorts, looking quite ridiculous. Both glared at each other fiercely and then went to sleep!

The next morning, Lin Zheng was woken by the ground shaking. Climbing up a tree, he saw that the wild beast army from yesterday had started moving, and the direction of their advance was the same as his route. This time, the wild beast army had grown even larger, with flying creatures in the sky and running creatures on the ground. The continuous movement of the large group caused the ground to rumble, and the flying creatures emitted loud cries.

Without a word, Lin Zheng started running, and the rogue wolf leisurely followed behind, occasionally shouting.

"Be careful, something is diving from the sky."

"Lie down, something is flying over."

"Run, they are catching up."

"Hey? The group has grown? Run, run."

Lin Zheng's face turned dark, silently cursing the rogue wolf. However, his feet didn't stop, and his spiritual energy began to circulate orderly, increasing his speed.

This situation continued for three days. In three days, Lin Zheng completed a journey that would normally take over ten days! When he reached the outskirts of the vast mountains, the wild beasts gradually dispersed, and the rogue wolf returned to his idle days, seemingly satisfied and reluctant about the accelerated action.

"Goodbye! I'll be back!" the rogue wolf said, waving to the wild beasts in the distance!

"You finally admitted it! You caused all this trouble! You troublemaker!" Lin Zheng glared at the rogue wolf, ready to attack!

"Being a wolf is all about having fun! First to strike, first to win! Watch out!" The rogue wolf suddenly extended his black paw towards Lin Zheng!

"Bang!" Lin Zheng blocked the rogue wolf's sneak attack and grinned, "I was prepared for this!"

"Really? Watch this! Wolf Claw Hand!"

"I'll fight you to the end! This is my last piece of clothing!"

A heart-wrenching, howling sound echoed, and the two figures slowly walked out of the mountains!

PS: Here's the first update of the day! Everyone, please support! Hehe! Or else, the last piece of clothing will be stripped off! Red tickets! Favorites! Throw them all over! Thank you!
