Lu An stared at the dying wild wolf pinned beneath him, startled, then his brows furrowed.
His strength seemed to be much greater than before!
It wasn't just his strength; his speed and reactions were the same. When he charged earlier, he noticed that his speed far surpassed his previous speed, and his strength was even greater than that of an ordinary adult male. All of this had only one explanation: it was the result of his Body Tempering over the past two days.
Just a Level Two Sky Realm could strengthen his Physical Body so much, Lu An was overjoyed, and his confidence in dealing with these wolf packs increased greatly!
Seeing two more wolves pouncing towards him, Lu An's eyes narrowed. He stepped forward, charging not backward but forward, directly at one of the wolves!
He wanted to see how strong his Physical Body truly was!
Bang!
Lu An collided head-on with a wolf. He grabbed the wolf's body; the wolf was almost as long as him, even heavier, and was still charging forward, yet he managed to throw the wolf to the ground. Then, he swung a punch fiercely, producing a bone-cracking sound from the wolf's lower jaw!
At the same time, the second flame in his hand had already risen. He suddenly turned and waved his large hand, and in an instant, an arc of flame appeared in the air! The three wolves pouncing from behind him stared in terror at the flame, but their forward momentum left them no retreat, and they crashed into it head-on!
Lu An quickly bent down, clutching his head, letting the three wolves pass over him!
Bang, bang, bang!
The three wolves crashed to the ground, their bodies burning fiercely, causing the surrounding charging wolves to halt abruptly!
In just a few breaths, five wolves died from the flames, and two wolves lay on the ground twitching, unable to get up. All of this finally made the surrounding wolf pack's forward momentum stop!
“Hoo… hoo…” Lu An panted heavily. The series of actions just now, coupled with extreme tension, made him somewhat unaccustomed, but he dared not relax his gaze on the surrounding wolf pack, and the flame in his hand quietly rose again.
“Awooo!!!”
Another long howl, and then Lu An saw the rest of the wolves all howl in unison, their eyes flashing with fierce light, not at all deterred by Lu An’s flames!
The next second, the wolf pack charged at Lu An again, all at once, and unlike last time, this time they charged from all directions, giving Lu An no chance to defeat them one by one!
Lu An’s heart tightened. Looking at the wolves charging from all directions, he unhesitatingly threw the flame in his hand in one direction, then charged in that same direction himself, trying to buy time to release another flame!
However, a shocking scene appeared before Lu An!
The two wolves hit by the flames, even in their dying moments, ignored the flames on their bodies and lunged straight at his arms with gaping, bloody mouths, their fangs gleaming ferociously, intending to deliver a final blow to Lu An before they died!
Not only that, but the wolves on both sides also charged at Lu An. For some reason, it was as if they wanted to end the battle in this instant, even if it meant dying!
Did these wolves discover the gap in his flame release?
Lu An's heart panicked. Regardless, the current situation was extremely disadvantageous for him!
It was absolutely impossible to resist the collective pouncing and biting of these wolves with his Physical Body. Now, the only thing that could save him was the flames!
“Faster!” Lu An stared at his palm, shouting wildly in his heart!
Watching the flame gradually rise in his hand, Lu An’s face contorted. He roared fiercely, “Faster, damn it!”
Whoosh!!
Instantly, the flame burned fiercely in his palm. Lu An’s eyes immediately lit up. This time, he only took two seconds to release the Nine Heavens Holy Fire, and he fiercely flung the flame around him!
Bang, bang, bang!
In an instant, the three wolves that had already pounced on Lu An's sides were immediately ignited by the flames. In almost a breath, the flames completely covered the three wolves. But even so, the bodies of the five wolves still lunged at Lu An!
Boom!
At the last moment, Lu An pounced towards one of the wolves. Being pounced on by one wolf was better than being crushed to death by five! He rolled frantically on the ground for several turns, and his new clothes, which he had only worn for less than half a day, were torn, and several bleeding wounds appeared on his body!
However, it was far from over!
Seeing Lu An on the ground, these wolves quickly pounced on him! They wanted to bite off this human's throat, tear him into pieces, and bury him with their dead companions.
Lu An, lying on the ground, had no time to get up before he saw the wolves already airborne, pouncing at him in unison. This time, he had less than two seconds.
“Holy Fire! Holy Fire!!” Lu An’s expression contorted, and he roared wildly in his heart again!
Whoosh!
In an instant, the Nine Heavens Holy Fire reappeared in his hand, the red flame burning fiercely. This time, the release took less than a second!
Lu An was ecstatic. He quickly flung the flame into the air, and in an instant, three wolves died as a result! As for the one wolf that was about to pounce on him, Lu An roared fiercely and smashed a punch at its head!
Bang!
The wolf was instantly sent flying by Lu An's punch, rolling several times on the ground before stopping, motionless amidst the burning flames!
After he threw one punch, six wolves simultaneously pounced, already above Lu An's head, and this time, Lu An had no time at all!
“Mystic Deep Cold Ice!”
Lu An roared, betting everything on this move! He suddenly knelt on one knee, then slammed his right palm onto the ground!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
In an instant, more than ten icy spikes, incredibly sharp and half a zhang tall, rose from the ground! The pouncing wolves, with terrified eyes, twisted their bodies frantically, but still could not avoid the fact that they crashed into the Mystic Deep Cold Ice!
Puff, puff, puff!!!
In an instant, the bodies of the six wolves were pierced by the Mystic Deep Cold Ice, their strength rapidly drained from their bodies, and within a very short time, they lay motionless on the Mystic Deep Cold Ice!
The surrounding wolves also stopped abruptly, looking at the human surrounded by these ice cones. They had lost their way forward!
And in the center of the Mystic Deep Cold Ice, Lu An slowly stood up from the ground, looking down at his hands.
The Black Mist Person was right; combat is one of the important factors in increasing strength, and life-or-death combat is even more crucial. He hadn't expected that he would be able to instantly release his Destiny Wheel, without needing any charging time!
This was a power that only Level Five Sky Realm could master, yet he, only a Level Two Sky Realm, had achieved it!
Slowly clenching his hands, Lu An slowly raised his head, looking at the remaining wolves around him, his eyes devoid of fear! Instead, it was the wolves who, seeing Lu An slowly emerge from the ice cones, retreated step by step!
Lu An's gaze remained fixed on the wolf at the very back of the pack. He had noticed it earlier; both times, this wolf had led the long howls. Clearly, this wolf was the alpha of this wolf pack!
Lu An understood the simple Dao of catching the leader first.
He spread his arms, and the Nine Heavens Holy Fire instantly appeared in his hands. He then charged fiercely towards the alpha wolf!
The alpha wolf also realized it was being targeted by Lu An. After a long howl, it turned and ran! The other wolves, however, charged frantically at Lu An, attempting to block his advance.
However, after being able to instantly release the Nine Heavens Holy Fire, Lu An was not at all worried about these wolves blocking him; he only needed to worry about how long the Destiny Wheel in his Physical Body could last.
However, he still felt no fatigue at all.
Whoosh!
In a flash, the wolves attempting to block Lu An were all engulfed in fierce flames. Lu An was running even faster than the wolves, and the distance between him and the alpha wolf was rapidly closing!
Bang!
Lu An stepped onto a large rock, leaped, and soared into the air. Then, an ice spear appeared in his hand and he thrust it towards the alpha wolf frantically running on the ground!
Thud!!
The ice spear pierced through the alpha wolf's head. The alpha wolf instantly lost all strength in its body, collapsing to the ground and rolling more than ten times. Lu An was the same; after rolling a few times on the ground, he painfully got up.
Standing up, Lu An endured the pain throughout his body, his gaze cold as he stared at the wolf pack catching up from behind.
The wolves all stopped, looking at their alpha lying in a pool of blood, none of them taking another step forward.
“Awooo!!!”
One wolf howled, and the others followed suit. Just as Lu An’s heart sank and he prepared for continued battle, he saw the wolves all turn and quickly leave.
In less than half a minute, the wolves had completely disappeared. Lu An cautiously looked around, and only after confirming they had indeed left did he let out a sigh of relief, slumping to the ground and panting.
After resting for a while, Lu An stood up and returned to the tent area. He didn't bandage his wounds; he was already accustomed to these injuries. After cleaning up the bodies around the tent area, he took out a steamed bun and took a bite.
It smelled delicious.
The feeling of escaping death makes one easily feel happy, especially since Lu An had hardly eaten steamed buns a few times. If he hadn't been able to comprehend the technique of instant Destiny Wheel release this time, he might have truly died here.
Thinking this, Lu An took another big bite of the steamed bun. Heaven knew when he would die; it was always better to die full than on an empty stomach!
And at this moment, Lu An suddenly heard shouts coming from afar!
“Lu An… hurry back to the academy for help!!”
