Chapter 55

Time ticked by, and night fell, enveloping the entire Wanda Mountain in silence. Occasionally, a terrifying hiss would pierce the sky, sending shivers down one's spine.

At 10:00 PM, six hours had passed since the start of the Wanda Mountain wilderness speed trial. No one knew who among the freshmen was leading or who had unfortunately failed and been rejected by the top school.

In a clearing in the forest, a gray giant wolf stood there, its sharp claws anxiously digging into the ground. Its body was arched, forming a bow shape, and its fur bristled. The wolf's head was pressed close to the ground, and in its gray eyes, a human figure was reflected.

This was a Gray Rock Wolf, a beast equivalent to a second-level martial artist in strength. It was extremely fast, with claws sharp enough to leave marks on G-grade alloy. The gray fur, from which it derived its name, could easily deflect ordinary bullets.

However, at this moment, the Gray Rock Wolf kept growling but did not attack, showing a considerable amount of caution towards the person in front of it.

On the opposite side stood a young man. Moonlight filtered through the dappled tree shadows, casting a tall, handsome figure. He wore a shy smile that instantly made people feel good.

Such a young man should have been the Gray Rock Wolf's favorite prey.

However, the moonlight slanted down, revealing what the young man held in his right hand: a 12-meter-long whip-tailed crocodile corpse.

A handsome young man was dragging a whip-tailed crocodile corpse, and it seemed he was using it as a weapon.

This scene transformed the young man instantly; he seemed like a smiling death god, quietly waiting for his prey to fall into his trap.

The Gray Rock Wolf kept growling, and finally, the delicious scent from the young man overcame its inner unease. With a sharp claw, it pushed off the ground, and like an arrow from a bow, it fiercely pounced at the young man.

The ground instantly showed a mark, and the Gray Rock Wolf ran at an incredible speed, exceeding 30 meters per second. An ordinary second-level martial artist would easily be severely injured by such a beast at close range.

The young man watched the Gray Rock Wolf's fierce attack with an unchanged expression. He dragged the whip-tailed crocodile corpse, gripped it tightly with both hands, and swung it with all his might.

"Ugh..."

The Gray Rock Wolf, running at full speed, suddenly let out a whine. Its four sharp claws dug into the ground, trying to stop its charging body. In its red eyes, a huge black shadow was reflected, about to strike it.

Bang!

Leaves and branches scattered everywhere as the whip-tailed crocodile corpse slammed down. Under the corpse, the sound of bones breaking could be heard.

"This whip-tailed crocodile corpse is really useful!"

The young man was Sun Yan. He smiled as he dragged the whip-tailed crocodile corpse away, only to find that the Gray Rock Wolf's body was half-buried in the ground. Its large head was half-tongued out, its eyes turned white, and its body was limp like mud, having been killed by a single strike.

The Gray Rock Wolf probably never dreamed it would encounter such a martial artist who used a whip-tailed crocodile corpse as a weapon to beat it to death.

A second-level mutant whip-tailed crocodile, with skin impervious to blades and fire, was a common material for G-grade combat suits. Its corpse could indeed be used as a weapon. However, a live adult whip-tailed crocodile weighed over 600KG, and after death, with the blood congealed, the corpse's weight would be close to 1000KG.

Using such a heavy corpse as a weapon, an ordinary second-level martial artist would quickly become exhausted.

But Sun Yan found that using this heavy "weapon" for combat greatly helped his training in the "Dragon Subduing Pile." In half a night, he had used the whip-tailed crocodile corpse to kill dozens of beasts and mutants.

After sitting on the ground to rest for a moment, Sun Yan leaped up, his face filled with excitement. He lifted his left foot and took a step.

Bang!

The thick leaves and branches on the ground did not change, but a muffled sound came from underground. The next moment, the leaves and branches under Sun Yan's feet sank, and a small pit about one meter in diameter appeared on the ground.

"Good, very good! The 'Dragon Subduing Pile' has finally reached the Proficient level. The hard work of half a night was not in vain."

The combat skill that had been stagnant for half a month finally broke through, making Sun Yan extremely happy. He couldn't resist practicing various combat skills, using the "Dragon Subduing Pile" to perform the Second-Level Crushing Fist, Elbow Cannon, and Soldier Form.

On the empty ground, punches and palm strikes filled the air, and the leaves and branches on the ground were shaken up. For a moment, the sky was filled with flying leaves, and the wind howled continuously.

After a long time, Sun Yan stood still, clenched his fists, and felt the endless power surging in his body, amazed: "How is this possible? The 'Dragon Subduing Pile' has increased the power of other combat skills by 25%."

When he activated the "Dragon Subduing Pile" and stepped on the ground, Sun Yan felt a heavy force surge from the earth, flowing into his feet and spreading throughout his body.

This heavy force perfectly merged with the yuan force in his body, making every combat skill he used significantly more powerful. Moreover, during combat, this force could quickly replenish his physical strength and internal yuan force, making his breath more enduring.

"Previously, when I discussed with Lingxue, the 'Dragon Subduing Pile' at the Initial Level increased the power of combat skills by 10%, and at the Proficient Level, it should increase by another 10%, totaling 20%. I didn't expect the increase from Initial to Proficient Level to be 15%, and the Proficient Level 'Dragon Subduing Pile' can also replenish physical strength and internal yuan force. This is truly terrifying."

Sun Yan was both shocked and delighted but also had a hint of doubt. According to the mysterious old man at Nanying Academy, the combat skill left by the seventh principal, Zhang Zhengri, was only a second-grade combat skill.

But could a second-grade combat skill have such astonishing power? Even a third-grade combat skill would not match this "Dragon Subduing Pile."

After pondering for a moment, Sun Yan dismissed his doubts and muttered, "I won't worry about these things. The current goal is to train the 'Dragon Subduing Pile' to the Perfect Level. I want to see how powerful this combat skill will be at the Perfect Level."

Grabbing the whip-tailed crocodile corpse, Sun Yan felt his strength had increased significantly after the 'Dragon Subduing Pile' reached the Proficient Level. The thousand-kilogram corpse was no longer as difficult to drag.

"It's still early. I'll keep moving and find more beasts and mutants to practice on."

Sun Yan muttered to himself, dragging the huge corpse with one hand, gradually disappearing into the silent forest.

...

Midnight, deep in Wanda Mountain.

In a forest, a fierce battle was taking place. Seven Gray Rock Wolves were gathered, surrounding a young man. The wolves darted around, their fierce roars echoing, and the sound of breaking branches could be heard continuously.

A young man was leaning against a towering tree, holding a black alloy combat knife. The long knife in his hand changed rapidly, forming a black light sphere that enveloped his entire body. The wind of the knife cut through the air, creating a startling effect.

The knife light continuously slashed at the surrounding Gray Rock Wolves, but these giant wolves were extremely agile. Each time the combat knife was about to strike, they would dodge using their tough fur.

This young man was Lin Tianwang, who had been in the same carriage as Sun Yan.

It was clear that Lin Tianwang's strength was astonishing. He could face seven Gray Rock Wolves alone without showing any signs of defeat. In terms of combat power, Lin Tianwang far surpassed an ordinary second-level martial artist.

Unfortunately, these Gray Rock Wolves were very cunning. They saw that this prey could not escape and used a包围 strategy to slowly drain Lin Tianwang's strength, preparing to pounce and kill him when he was exhausted, tearing him apart to eat.

In the dappled tree shadows, Lin Tianwang's expression was calm, his face covered in sweat, but he showed no sign of fear or retreat. He held the knife with both hands, continuously using a combat skill, each strike faster than the last.

Gradually, the knife light became so fast that it was hard to see, forming a light mist around him. In the end, the sound of the knife cutting through the air was even slower than the light.

Such a knife skill was not comparable to a second-grade combat skill.

Suddenly, Lin Tianwang's eyes flashed. He saw three shadows appear in the forest's shadows, slowly stepping out.

Three more Gray Rock Wolves!

The three pairs of gray wolf eyes glinted with ferocity, locking onto the young man. Then, the eyes of the three Gray Rock Wolves began to fill with blood.

Wolves always hunt in groups.

Without a doubt, Lin Tianwang had encountered a pack of Gray Rock Wolves.

"Damn! I need to leave here quickly."

Lin Tianwang's heart tightened. He knew he couldn't let these three Gray Rock Wolves join the battle. Otherwise, with ten giant wolves attacking, he would surely not survive.

Although his student number was engraved on his hand, which could activate protection in emergencies, it would also mean he would lose the opportunity to enter Difeng Academy.

Lin Tianwang's eyes showed determination. His figure paused, and the misty knife light immediately converged. He gripped the alloy combat knife tightly with both hands. The next moment, a flush of red appeared on his face, and his body seemed to inflate, radiating a powerful and overwhelming aura.

The young man's black hair moved without wind, his face as if painted with blood, and his muscles bulged, like a perfect statue.

"Die... all of you..."

As he shouted, a rustling sound came from the nearby forest, and a young man's figure appeared. In the sparse moonlight, a familiar face was revealed—it was Sun Yan.

It's him! Lin Tianwang was startled, and his knife was already poised to strike.

Looking around, Sun Yan waved and smiled, "Hey, Lin, what a coincidence!"

Hearing this, Lin Tianwang almost had his internal yuan force reverse, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. Was this guy blind? In such a critical situation, he still had the nerve to greet him?

An ordinary second-level martial artist encountering more than two Gray Rock Wolves would surely die.

"If you don't want to be expelled, get out of here quickly!" Lin Tianwang spat out these words through his teeth.

The three new Gray Rock Wolves, sensing new prey, immediately turned and roared, charging at Sun Yan.

This fool!

Lin Tianwang cursed inwardly, but the next second, his eyes froze.

In the forest, a huge shadow suddenly flew up, accompanied by a piercing wind, and slammed into the three Gray Rock Wolves.

Bang, bang, bang...

The huge shadow crashed to the ground, followed by three muffled sounds, and then a series of crackling sounds, the terrifying sound of bones breaking.
