I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 537 You're telling me this is called lacking wisdom?

next moment.

The Shadow Wolf growled and pounced without warning, its speed so fast that Ye Tian almost couldn't react.

He hastily raised his longsword.

The sword clashed with the wolf's claws, sparking dazzling flames.

However, the enormous impact still forced him back several steps, and even the tiger's mouth holding the sword was throbbing with pain.

"how is this possible?"

Ye Tian was suddenly startled.

Although he had been slightly careless just now, the Shadow Wolf's strength still exceeded his expectations.

You should know that he is a transcendent being at the peak of the Ming Jin realm in martial arts.

They were surprisingly at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation.

Such strength, yet he's not even at the peak of the Innate Realm.

Just how strong is a demon beast at the peak of the Innate Realm?
However, this is clearly not the time to think about such things.

He immediately mobilized his qi and blood, and an invisible fluctuation immediately appeared on the sword.

The Shadow Wolf seemed to sense the danger and launched the first attack.

This time it was even faster than before.

The distance of a dozen meters was covered in an instant.

Ye Tian only felt a blur before his eyes, and the sharp claws were already tearing through the air and heading straight for his face.

He instinctively dodged to the side.

"Hey!"

The sound of clothes being torn followed. A wolf's claws slashed across his left arm, leaving a bloody gash.

Ye Tian let out a muffled groan.

However, he did not give up the attack and immediately thrust out with his sword.

However, his sword merely grazed the Shadow Wolf's fur.

"Damn it, this beast is too fast!"

Ye Tian was horrified, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

He then realized that the battles in the academy and real life-or-death struggles were completely different things.

The two are not comparable at all.

The shadow wolf's eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty green light, giving him no chance to breathe, and it pounced again with a kick of its hind legs.

"laugh!"

Another bloody gash appeared on Ye Tian's right leg.

The Shadow Wolf's claws flashed like black lightning, each pounce sending up a spray of blood.

Ye Tian staggered backward, his back hitting an ancient tree, the rough bark chafing him painfully.

"Too rough!"

In the distance, Sikong Yang couldn't help but shake his head.

Ye Tian's strength is actually no weaker than Shadow's, and may even be stronger.

Under normal circumstances, even if they were outmatched, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

However, his moves were still too rigid, and his application of the essence of wind was also very crude.

This is a common problem for most of the geniuses in Origin Academy.

Especially those students who enrolled later, who had never actually competed with anyone before.

This is completely different from the students in the previous three years.

The students who enrolled in the first three years of the Extraordinary Era, although their starting point was not as high as those who enrolled later.

However, they all achieved this through their own hard work and cultivation, without relying on any extraordinary potions.

These people nowadays have much less practical combat skills.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that they haven't been cultivating for very long.

Moreover, they spend most of their time cultivating, leaving them with no extra time to train their combat skills.

Sikong Yang believed that he could have defeated his opponent back when he was at the Innate Realm.

Even though he hadn't yet grasped the essence of the laws at that time, the outcome would still be the same.

"This little guy might lose!"

Sikong Yang murmured softly.

In fact, Ye Tian's best option right now is to run for his life.

But judging from his demeanor, he clearly didn't have that idea.

However, Ye Tian's injuries were all superficial, so he didn't rush to provide assistance.

As he spoke, Sikong Yang looked in other directions.

At this time, most of the students were already fighting with the demonic beasts, but no one had approached the innate realm demonic beasts like Ye Tian.

They all chose demonic beasts that were at the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm.

Seeing their behavior, Sikong Yang shook his head helplessly.

Those students at the peak of Ming Jin were actually fighting back and forth with a mere fifth-level Body Tempering demon beast.

Several students at the late stage of Ming Jin were even chased by demonic beasts at the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm.

It's absolutely shameful.

Only now did he realize how right Yuanzu's decision had been.

Without these monsters, it would be difficult to improve combat skills.

"Hey, this little guy has become quite clever!"

When he looked in Ye Tian's direction again, Ye Tian's fighting style had already changed.

……

The wolf's shadow returns.

Instead of blocking, Ye Tian shifted his feet and used Swift Step to slide to the side.

For someone like him who has grasped the essence of wind, using Swift Step is like adding wings to a tiger.

The Shadow Wolf missed its target several times.

When the beast saw that its attacks had failed several times, it immediately changed its strategy.

It began pacing in circles, its eyes fixed intently on Ye Tian.

"This beast seems to be waiting for me to make a mistake!"

"Damn it, weren't they saying that monsters have no intelligence?"

Ye Tian felt like cursing.

Damn it, you're telling me this is called lacking wisdom?

At least in terms of fighting instinct, he seemed far inferior to this beast.

"No, I can't keep dragging this on!"

After a moment, Ye Tian took a deep breath. "Should I run away?"

Now, escaping is absolutely no problem for him, and it's the safest option.

If this continues, even if he manages to dodge the opponent's attacks, he will eventually be dragged to his death by this beast.

But he quickly put the idea out of his mind.

The purpose of this trip to the Emerald Islands was to gain experience.

He wouldn't make this choice unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, this was just an ordinary innate realm demon beast.

If he chooses to flee when faced with a monster of this level, then what right does he have to surpass those geniuses before him?
It is said that Fang Yuanhang killed a demonic beast at the peak of the Innate Realm.

Soon, a resolute glint flashed in Ye Tian's eyes.

He stopped waiting and took a step forward.

The Shadow Wolf seemed startled by this sudden change and took a half step back.

"good chance!"

Ye Tian seized this fleeting opportunity and suddenly stretched his body to its limit.

At the same time, the air currents carried by the sword's edge swiftly pierced towards the Shadow Wolf.

The sword strike was as fast as lightning. Shadow Wolf hurriedly turned his head, and the tip of the sword barely grazed his ear.

However, Ye Tian had anticipated this.

His eyes gleamed, his blood and qi surged wildly, and the vortex on his longsword suddenly brightened.

"Wind Blade!"

next moment.

A crescent-shaped sword aura shot out and struck the Shadow Wolf's hind leg with precision.

"Ouch!"

The wounded Shadow Wolf howled angrily, completely enraged.

It was no longer cautious; its fur bristled, and its speed increased by another 30%, transforming into a black lightning bolt as it pounced.

Faced with the Shadow Wolves' even fiercer attack this time, Ye Tian no longer panicked.

The more ferocious the Shadow Wolf becomes, the more openings it will reveal.

The air around him surged, he lowered his body, and raised his longsword from below.

A snort.

The blade sliced ​​a gash in the Shadow Wolf's belly.

But at the same time, the wolf's claws also struck his chest.

Ye Tian was sent flying backward by the blow and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough."

Ye Tian struggled to his feet, his clothes soaked in blood.

The Shadow Wolf on the other side was also bleeding from its wounds.

However, the injury only made the beast even more ferocious.

"Hmph, I've been waiting for you to go berserk!"

Ye Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

He noticed that before each pounce, the Shadow Wolf would slightly crouch down with its hind legs; when it attacked with its left claw, its right shoulder would sink down first.

These subtle movements become exceptionally clear when the Shadow Wolf goes berserk.

And this is the time when Ye Tian was waiting.

Before we came, the academy instructors had said that we wanted to kill a demonic beast at the Innate Realm.

If its weakness cannot be found, even an ordinary first-stage Transcendent Realm cultivator would find it difficult to kill it.

However, finding the monster's weakness is not so easy.

He was actually gambling.

Betting that the Shadow Wolf, having lost its mind, will reveal a weakness.

Now, he's made the right bet!
next moment.

The Shadow Wolf pounced again.

This time, Ye Tian did not take the attack head-on. Instead, he suddenly changed his move, shifting his sword stance from hard to soft, guiding and pulling along the wolf's claw.

The Shadow Wolf charged forward due to inertia.

Ye Tian seized the opportunity and slashed at its hind leg with his sword.

"Ow—"

The Shadow Wolf howled in pain, its movements noticeably slowing down.

Knowing that this was a rare opportunity, Ye Tian disregarded the pain in his left arm and exerted all his inner energy.

He gripped his sword with both hands and charged towards the wounded monster like a whirlwind.

"cut!"

The sword flashed like lightning, slicing across the Shadow Wolf's neck.

moment.

The wolf's head flew high into the air, and blood gushed out.

Ye Tian knelt on one knee, panting heavily, the wound on his left arm burning with pain.

But when he looked up at the headless wolf corpse, his eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Indeed, real-world experience is the best opportunity for improvement!"

Although this battle was dangerous, it deepened his understanding of swordsmanship.

Especially with that last sword strike, he felt as if he had touched upon some mysterious realm.

……

A few dozen meters away, Sikong Yang stopped.

At that very last moment, he was actually ready to make his move!

Ye Tian's physical strength was almost exhausted. If that sword strike failed to kill the Shadow Wolf, he himself would be the one to die.

"Not bad at all. I'm afraid it won't be long before this little guy will be able to grasp the secrets of internal energy!"

He smiled, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Over the years, there haven't been many people who have been able to kill a Xiantian Realm demon beast with the peak of Ming Jin.

Ye Tian's achievement is truly remarkable!
As he spoke, he looked in other directions.

Those who had been chased by the monsters began to look for opportunities to fight back.

Many others also killed the monsters.

Although it wasn't as bad as Ye Tian's killing of a Xiantian-level demonic beast, it was still a significant improvement compared to when he first started!

Of course, many others were also unable to cope and called for help.

But at least now no one will be chased by a mere fifth-level Body Tempering demon beast anymore.
