Chapter 18: Fourth Time's A Charm, Intense Battle!

3 hours later in the Livingwood Forest.

Four Liffox fell in quick succession after a short battle with William. With his current power, the Liffox didn't stand a chance even in numbers. His fireballs were too fast to dodge and too powerful to block, nearing the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm with the last upgrade.

The number of Magical Beasts in the Livingwood Forest must have increased again considering William had only been in the area for half an hour. To save time and energy, William decided to take a different route through the forest to the next expected Life Vein.

If his estimates were correct, five Life Veins were originally distributed evenly in the outer portion of the Livingwood Forest. With the closest two absorbed, William had a long trip to gather the last three Life Veins.

It wasn't until two hours had passed and William killed twelve more Liffox that the third Life Vein was in sight. His Beast Slayer Title was also upgraded to Uncommon at 25 kills, earning an additional Potential Point.

108 damage in one hit! Ouch! William was still coughing up blood, but he used some Mana to heal with the Life Element. He returned to full health, then prepared a fourth giant fireball for the Wind Wolf, who had nearly recovered from the flames.

It saw the giant fireball rushing towards it but was too weak to dodge this time. The Wind Wolf had truly been careless to allow a non-Cultivator human to enter its territory unnoticed. As the giant fireball smashed into the Wind Wolf, only regret could be seen in its eyes. Its body riddled with cauterized wounds fell to the side and landed with a thud.

-Defeated Wind Wolf: +3 Potential Points

-First Foundation Establishment beast kill: +10 Potential Points

10 Points for killing the first Foundation Establishment Realm beast! William was excited about his gains. If he could consistently kill Wind Wolves, his Point farming speed would increase significantly.

He took a moment to catch his breath, then approached the body of the Wind Wolf to ensure its death. With a quick confirmation, William was able to breathe easy and approached the nearby Life Vein.

-Your health has improved. Life expectancy 60 years.

William felt the blood in his veins flow faster, purifying itself and circulating through his body. His body became more muscular and no longer looked like a bunch of sticks put together. It wasn't a significant difference, but William felt he would be able to run a bit faster and lift more weight.

William was nearly out of Mana and didn't want to waste a potion just yet, so he decided to camp for a few hours in a tree like before. William still planned to gather the last Life Vein, but he wouldn't stand a chance against another Wind Wolf with his current Mana.
