In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Looking out from a high vantage point, the school buildings in this old town are already quite tall.

Li Yuan looked around and saw that the old town was full of lush greenery.

With less human activity, the old town and the wilderness forests gradually merged together.

Standing on high ground, Li Yuan also saw other people who had come to train.

Qijia Town is a treasure trove of experience, and far more people came than expected.

It's no wonder that controls are in place to limit the number of people entering at the same time.

With so many people coming in at once, the training effect will be greatly reduced.

We came down from the rooftop, still within the abandoned middle school.

It was immediately obvious that something was wrong.

The two books Li Yuan read before coming here provided him with a lot of experience and tips.

The strange phenomenon before my eyes matches what is described in the book.

Surprisingly, there was a spot in the drainage ditch of this abandoned school that was extremely smooth.

Seeing this, Li Yuan gripped his alloy knife tightly.

Based on the experience gained from the book, this means we've entered a den of ferocious beasts.

There are many kinds of ferocious beasts, and most of them are very cunning.

A smooth spot is an opening for a ferocious beast to enter its lair.

But its nest has more than one entrance.

The location it frequents is actually the one it will abandon when it encounters danger.

With this in mind, Li Yuan began searching for another route to the beast's lair.

He was also very cautious.

It is currently uncertain whether there are any ferocious beasts in this den.

At this moment, Li Yuan was verifying the experience he had learned from books.

The biggest difference between students in school and warriors who have actually fought on the battlefield is practical experience.

Ninety-nine percent of what's in books is correct.

However, those described scenarios are too idealistic.

When you actually put it into practice, you'll encounter all sorts of strange and unusual situations.

Only by experiencing and trying can we truly apply these experiences.

This situation often occurs in other disciplines as well.

For example, medical students can't possibly let patients get sick the way they're described in textbooks, can they?

They learned from textbooks and then practiced for several years before they could stand on their own.

Occasionally, when I see symptoms that match the illustrations in the textbook, I get excited for a long time.

Searching along the drainage ditch, its nest shouldn't be so easily wetted.

These simple human facilities have been in use for decades.

The drainage ditch still looks pretty good.

Li Yuan found some clues along the way.

At the same time, a faint sound could be heard.

If I didn't make that sound, then something else must be causing it...

While he was pondering, a dark shadow suddenly appeared and rushed straight at Li Yuan.

But Li Yuan's attention had already been focused on that location.

Cloud Extreme Fist, Ultimate Defense!

In the instant he defensively pulled back, Li Yuan slashed forward with his long sword!

The six swords clashed in unison, their momentum surging towards the dark figure.

Warriors who don't go to the front lines often have a much lower level of mastery of weaponry and martial arts.

Unfortunately, Li Yuan was different from other young martial artists who had gained experience.

Thanks to his talent for "Rapid Mastery of Martial Arts," his mastery of "Six-Sword Combo" has already reached a very deep level.

The dark figure also sensed the threat.

When their sneak attack failed, they crouched down nearby and stood facing off.

This is a stray cat with gray and black fur.

At this moment, its fur stood on end, and it opened its bloody mouth to reveal its sharp teeth.

This roaming wildcat is a typical Class D ferocious beast.

Don't let its small size fool you; it's incredibly ferocious.

It is also very clever when facing large opponents, specifically targeting their eyes.

Once the enemy is blinded, even a powerful opponent that was originally no match for it will become its food.

But this time it wasn't so lucky; Li Yuan was far more cautious than the average martial artist.

His martial arts skills are also solid and steady.

The six consecutive swords rushed forward in an instant, their momentum fiercely attacking it.

These small, ferocious beasts are agile, and if a martial artist is not skilled enough, it is easier to make mistakes if they want to hit and injure them.

However, Li Yuan was very skilled in martial arts.

With the Cloud Step technique, the Six Martial Arts Combination Blade instantly combined and changed its momentum.

The blade quickly landed on its body.

Blood splattered everywhere; this small, ferocious wildcat was dead.

Li Yuan grabbed a handful of wild grass from the side and wiped the blood off the blade.

This was the first ferocious beast he had personally killed.

It was much simpler than I expected.

The books "Practical Handbook for Dealing with Ferocious Beasts" and "Border Chronicles" were more helpful than expected.

Relying on his talents of "enlightened mind" and "profound understanding," Li Yuan's gains from studying far surpassed those of others.

It will soon be able to be applied in practice.

There's nothing of value on wild cats and ferocious beasts.

Unlike some ferocious beasts, whose fur, bones, and internal organs are all useful.

After resolving this minor trouble, Li Yuan continued deeper into Qijia Town.

The further southeast you go, the farther you get from areas of human activity.

There are even more ferocious beasts hiding there, and even more powerful and aggressive ones.

Li Yuan planned to walk another ten miles.

Ten miles is a short distance for martial artists.

But in this desolate forest, every mile you walk out is accompanied by a host of dangers.

Ten miles, on a real border front, could take years to advance.

For someone like Li Yuan, who was venturing out for the first time, traveling ten miles ahead was actually quite risky.

But Li Yuan had this confidence.

And after this experience, I will go back to participate in the Qingwu Tournament.

Make the most of this opportunity to learn and grow, so that your mind and body can adapt to this pace.

Especially those ferocious beasts, we should try to find as many as possible.

The Border Records document a hundred common ferocious beasts, including their habits and attack methods.

But it's still different from seeing it with your own eyes.

Only after seeing it with your own eyes can you deal with it more calmly.

Li Yuan was about to go deeper into the area when he suddenly saw three points of light fall to the ground.

Picking it up gave me eleven experience points.

The gains from actual practice seem to be greater than the insights gained from practicing alone in isolation.

Holding his long sword, he walked step by step towards the southeast.

On the first day, Li Yuan walked one mile before stopping to rest.

During this journey, Li Yuan encountered three ferocious beasts.

The most difficult one to deal with was a war spider.

The spider silk it spits out, while not enough to entangle a martial artist and make them unable to break free, can still impose significant limitations.

Once entangled in the spider silk, you'll have to face its venomous fangs.

Li Yuan's experience is truly extensive.

He discovered the spider's layout when he was some distance away.

Having survived four ferocious beasts in a row, Li Yuan's state of mind became increasingly calm.

Even when encountering ferocious beasts, one can always maintain a calm mind.

This is probably what you call desensitization.

At the same time, Li Yuan discovered many more traps left by the War Spiders.

There are quite a few War Spiders on the outskirts of Qijia Town.

Li Yuan carefully observed these traces, noting the various different situations.

The content of the book was applied time and time again.

At the same time, Li Yuan went deeper and deeper into the machinations, becoming increasingly vigilant.

More and more strange traces were being seen.

We took a four-hour break in the middle.

The following day at noon, Li Yuan met the owner of these traces...
