One month later.
The cold wind from the north became increasingly fierce. The howling snowflakes drifted between Heaven and Earth, and the inside of the mountains were covered in a layer of snowvy-white. The thick snow weighed heavily on the trees, causing them to creak in the wind.
A figure approached from the distance, stepping on the thick layer of snow but, surprisingly, not sinking in. Instead, only a thin footprint was left on the surface of the snow.
“This Inner Strength is truly extraordinary. I’ve only practiced for a month, but my physical abilities have already improved in various aspects. Even my body movement has increased to a certain extent.”
Lu Yuan jogged with small strides, occasionally glancing back at his footprints, feeling satisfied in his heart: “Walking on snow without leaving a trace, perhaps when I finish practicing the twelve meridians, I’ll be able to do it.”
Although Cloud Palm is a set of Palm skills, it doesn’t involve aspects such as body movement techniques.
But it must be said that Inner Strength is a panacea.
Wherever the Inner Qi reaches, his physical attributes will be enhanced.
For example, now Lu Yuan concentrated his Inner Strength on his feet, and thus his foot strength increased significantly.
Not only did his walking speed increase, but the force exerted on his feet became even lighter.
At this moment, stepping on the snow, the weight of his own body was reduced to about twenty or thirty pounds after being reduced by the layers of Inner Strength.
And under the influence of the increased speed, his weight became even lighter when he stepped on the surface of the snow, probably weighing only ten pounds, or even less than that.
“Now I understand how those martial arts experts can walk on walls and soar through the sky. With Inner Strength as a panacea, even if Newton jumped out of his coffin, he would have to be suppressed.”
Lu Yuan thought in his heart but shook his head quickly: “No, I don’t even know if this world has Newton. And the worlds are different, the foundations are different, and whether gravity really exists is also a problem.”
Since he had practiced Inner Strength, he had harbored great doubts about the various rules of this world and then turned to great expectations.
If there are martial arts and Inner Strength in this world, is it possible that there are also Dao Law and Immortal Techniques here?
Although martial arts are already great.
But being able to travel through Heaven and Earth, overturn rivers and seas, manipulate stars and planets, and control the sun and moon, which of these is not more attractive than martial arts?
However, these expectations were all suppressed in Lu Yuan’s heart.
At this moment, he hadn’t even mastered martial arts, and it was too ambitious to expect these things.
“I’ve arrived.”
While thinking, Lu Yuan quickly approached an indentation covered with ice and snow, with a trace of joy on his face: “After chasing you for three days, I’ve finally found you.”
With that, he stretched out his hand and gently pressed down on the snow covering the indentation.
With just a little bit of force from his hands, a large area of the snow layer collapsed, revealing a tunnel entrance in front of him.
Hoo hoo hoo.
Suddenly, an opening appeared, and the gale outside immediately found its target, and it howled as it rushed in.
“I have to act quickly, or it’ll be challenging to deal with the leopard once it wakes up.”
Lu Yuan couldn’t help but shiver as he was blown by the wind, glanced into the cave, and quickly followed.
Having been in the mountains for more than a month, he had already developed a set of mature techniques for exploring the dens of hibernating animals.
His movements were nimble and swift, and within a few breaths, he rushed deep into the cave.
Turning inside, he saw the flower leopard lying on a pile of forage in the center of the cave.
Suddenly exposed by the gale, with the rapid drop in surrounding temperature, the sleeping leopard was stimulated, its eyelids trembled, and its body twisted as if it was about to wake up.
Seeing this situation, Lu Yuan didn’t hesitate, took off the hunting bow from his back, drew the bow, and aimed at the leopard’s eyelids.
With a ‘puchi’ sound, the sharp arrow whizzed past, piercing the eyelid and sliding into the leopard’s brain along its eye socket.
“Roar —”
The sudden pain instantly awakened the flower leopard, who was still in a deep sleep.
It roared and jumped up, its one long eye opened and saw a blurred figure in front of it, then immediately rushed forward without hesitation.
The short distance of more than ten meters was a mere leap for the agile flower leopard.
In less than a second, it would tear up the despicable person who had attacked it.
But as fast as it was, someone was faster.
The moment the flower leopard was startled, Lu Yuan had already prepared the second arrow.
As it leaped towards him, he quickly stepped back, his entire body floated lightly, locked onto the other eye with the arrow in his hand, and let go.
The perfect archery technique was, of course, accurate within such a short distance.
The flower leopard’s forward-jumping body was like deliberately crashing into the arrow, and its other slightly drowsy eye was destroyed just like its previous
There was a ‘bang’ sound.
The severely injured flower leopard’s body crashed to the ground where Lu Yuan had stood before.
The two arrows lodged in its brain were still shaking slightly at the end of their tail feathers.
“Roar…”
A series of painful howls, like the life force of the flower leopard, gradually weakened as time went by, until it ceased.
After shooting the arrow, Lu Yuan stood vigilantly by, watching this scene coldly, thinking in his heart: ‘My simple hunting bow is still too weak. It only has six-strength power and is not as good as the ordinary eight-strength bow in the army..
