Chapter 45 Going out
Xiang Kun reviewed his two battles with the Giant Owl.
The first was a meeting engagement by the lake. Although the owl took the initiative, it was not entirely a sneak attack. After all, Xiang Kun had already located it by scent, leaving him time to react.
In terms of his response, he had done nothing wrong. After evading the first strike, he didn't opt to continue escaping, showing his back to the Giant Owl, but instead chose to engage in close combat, wrestling with sheer strength. Hence, despite losing the initiative and having to respond hastily, he still managed to wear the owl down by trading injuries.
In the second engagement in the forest, Xiang Kun became the one actively seeking battle. He even shed blood to entice the Giant Owl to attack. Then, using the moment the owl swooped down from above, he seized the timing and the gap, leaped directly through its claws, embraced the owl, and stabbed a screwdriver into its eye.
