After listening to the villagers' description of the situation, Master Gu Ze mumbled a few incomprehensible and esoteric words and in a single shout, windstorm surged forward towards a certain direction which made Tang Ling stumble.

The group then followed the Master's instructions and stumbled into a cave nest. From the clues gathered in the way, it was almost certain to be Pordhi's place.

Indeed, it was. The System even notified him of this location.

[The Cruel Wolf's Resting Den]

In the cave, a man twitched and suddenly shouted at the intruders: "Who comes here?! Do you know who I am?!"

The supervisor's deep voice could be heard: "Yes, we know and you know why we are here."

The man sneered, "Well, yes. I do. You should be the ones who came here to kill me, I'm after all, worth a pretty penny..."

He didn't even finish his sentence before he threw six daggers at the intruder and lunged at him with a sword.

"Awaken, my children. Come and devour the insolent fools who came into our home!" He called.

Instantly, it was as though the whole nest awakened and a few dozen wolves appeared from the dark and snow.

!!!

The students before the supervisor hurriedly prepared their weapons in the wait of these wolves. Each of them, with each more malevolent than the other.

"One, three, five, ten... There at least thirty of them!" Tang Ling cried out.

Nangong Xinyue nodded with sweat on her forehead: "Yes, thirty of them with each and every one of them at least comparable to Second Stage!"

[Grey Wolf (Summoned) LV19]

[Grey Wolf (Summoned) LV22]

[Snow Wolf (Summoned) LV 23]

[ Snow Wolf (Familiar) LV24]

[ Snow Wolf (Familiar) LV26]

And then, there was a lonely, oppressing existence amongst the pack who intimidated Tang Ling the most.

[Snow Wolf King (Familiar) (Leader) LV 35]

"Humm..."

BANG!

The fight started without any warning!

It all started with the senior who greeted Tang Ling this morning, the man with a body to drool for!

In a single dash, he punched a wolf and the impact created a huge hole into its body. Blood spurted and the overconfident wolves immediately went into a state of alert.

They howled and gritted their teeth as they pounced from every direction.

Tang Ling gritted his teeth as he prepared to impact. Two wolves pounced at him and he blocked one and dodging the other and took the chance to retaliate with a horizontal slash.

Soul Blade!

-75

-50

The two beasts cried out of pain and gave Tang Ling another window to attack and he ran into one of them and stabbed on the side. It entered deep, piercing deeply into the muscles which made the wolf incapacitated, dead if left alone.

However, the sword was stuck deep into the corpse, and trying to pull it out would need a lot of strength and time, both something he did not have.

Tang Ling could only take out his normal grade spear and readied his spear in front of the other wolf.

Surprisingly, the wolf understood the danger of pouncing his target who was in that stance and circled him, ready to pounce once more when he would make a blunder.

Tang Ling decided to hurry since they were outnumbered by at least 1:2.5. If he fought 2 wolves, it meant that some of his comrades would fight 3.

Tang Ling steeled his resolve and charged at the wolf, trying to stab it but the wolf dodged the stab and immediately counterattacked with a bite.

"Argh!" Tang Ling screeched in pain as a piece of flesh came off.

The wolf chewed on its former flesh, his eyes revealing a tinge of mockery.

Tang Ling was angered and used a strength that one would not attribute to an injured man, especially injured on the arm

[Received 50 damage on arm, Hemmorage, Maimed.]

[HP: 650/700]

BAM!

With a single swing of his polearm, he sc.r.a.ped a small wound from the wolf and slammed the pole on its head.

-25

-100!

His present strength with his spear could kill a normal person in a single swing but the wolf was merely stunned for a while. Taking advantage of this moment, Tang Ling dashed towards the wolf and deeply stabbed the spear into his enemy, killing it in the process.

"Huff... Huff..." Tang Ling breather loudly as he circulated his Qi to Endless Earth's cultivation method to recover his stamina. He then took off the spear and did not bother with his sword before trying to help another.

Tang Ling could see a portion of the battlefield, the two seniors were engaged in a fight of more than ten wolves at once with the leftovers fighting the disciples.

Tang Ling decided to help the Feng brothers, the younger one was having some problem to fight a single one, leaving the older one with three enemies. Grabbing his High Spear, he made a simple stance, took a deep breath, and thrust!

The move came from Tang Ling's stance which amplified the explosiveness it brought with it!

Baiji-quan Move: Thrusting!

Paika!

-183!

The already injured beast was immediately killed with a fatal hit on the chest.

"Take this!" Taking advantage of the element of surprise, Feng Cai used this opportunity to disengage and threw little daggers at the remaining wolves, injuring them even more.

Tang Ling also did not stop his momentum and with a stomp on the ground, launched a powerful strike with the elbow against another wolf.

Bam!

-75!

Under the powerful elbow strike, the wolf stumbled and Tang Ling took this window of CC to unleash a five-hit combo.

-35

-28

-46

-28

-65!

All of which was conducted in extremely closed ranged, Tang Ling used fast but strong strikes to determine where it was going. The wolf died under his unescapable fast tempo of strikes without resistance. It was not surprising, since ancient times, Baiji-quan was infamous for their stickiness and how the opponent was unable to attack but the pract.i.tioner had plenty of ways to make him suffer. Try to escape? I will stick to you like glue. Try to stand your ground? Prepare to suffer.

Relieved from constantly defending against three aggressors, Feng Cai quickly slew the remaining one with ease. At the same time, Feng Ci managed to steel his resolve and in a single powerful swing, he chopped the poor wolf's head.

"Done!"

As the Feng brother's battle came to an end, it also did not take long for others to end theirs too.

The fastest were the two senior Masters in which, despite being attacked the most ferocious and the most in number, still defeated them like a breeze, barely breaking a sweat.

Meanwhile, the other disciples were not faring well. Although they've finished their battle, they finished it injured with one bleeding from the arm and the legs.

At the sight of the post-battle injuries, the two senior brothers frowned. In this fierce battle, injuries were to be expected but such injuries showed a lack of skills or experience. However, it is to be expected, very few people here were experts of Jianghu, they were mostly kids lacking experience in this world.

"Come, we'll regroup with Teacher." The refined senior called them out.

The exhausted and battered group flinched and stood up, following the seniors to the cave...
