The strength of Spirit Beasts split into nine ranks and each rank is then divided into five sub-stages: The Early-stage/ Mid-stage/ Late-stage/ Peak-stage/ Culmination-stage.
Among the three Dire Wolves, the one pounded at Myah was narrowly over 1 meter tall and is a Mid-stage Rank 1 Spirit Beast. He was able to determine its strength with his keen sense by merely perceiving its aura.
Although Spirit Beasts, in general, are much stronger than humans in the same realm, they aren't invincible. That, Myah has experienced it first hand with the Water-Monkey.
Furthermore, these wolves have yet to recover from their grievous injuries.
Even if Bumpkin is not allowed to help him, there is nothing to fear!
With an accurate fatal strike of his spear— victory or defeat could be decided in but an instant!
'It's time!'
*Swoosh!*
Once the Dire Wolf was just a few meters away, Myah quickly moved. He kicked the ground and rushed forward, instantly closing the distance.
Although Myah's body was agile with outstanding speed, rarely could he put it to good use due to blindness. However, the little guy could still fight freely at medium distances with no apparent obstacle in the way.
'Foundation Spear Arts' Second move—Spear Flip!'
Brandishing the dark iron spear, Myah takes a light breath (get into action).
With the strength of his whole body, he swung the spear upward diagonally.
A fuzzy shadow flashed as the barbaric lower jaw of the Dire Wolf was struck heavily. That single spear strike slammed its gaping mouth shut in an instant with a loud *Bam!*. Before the wolf could respond, nor could it have time to feel the pain, its four limbs had unknowingly left the ground.
That attack left the entire Dire Wolf's body temporarily lifted into the air!
On the other hand, Myah has already retracted to his previous position and prepared to deliver his second attack.
'Foundation Spear Arts' First move—'
"Spear Strike!"
*Awooooo!~*
Red blood splattered everywhere as the dark iron spear swiftly penetrated the Dire Wolf's chest before leaving a dreadful bloodied opening. And simultaneously, after Myah withdrew the spear from its body, he delivered another connecting 'Spear Strike.'
At this moment, the other two wolves froze in place. They looked at Myah's petite outline in shock, eyes glaring with soaring anger. For them, they never thought that a human with the cultivation of a 1 star Warrior could trounce one of them down so quickly.
No, they didn't think it was possible in the first place.
For a species that tend to hunt in a large group, attacking alone was a grave mistake.
...
'Both attacks were launched at full physical power while also reducing the use of spirit energy to the minimum, just barely enough so that the spear's tip could penetrate the wolf's thick skin. The transition between the spear moves is no longer as rough as before...'
'He sure learned his lesson.' Mu Suyinn thought to herself.
Having observed Myah's every move while sitting on the horse cart, she felt gratified by his improvement. At this rate, his mastery over the Foundation Spear Arts would soon reach an Adequate level.
Next, to develop Myah's Spear Soul, Mu Suyin believed that it was about time she should teach him the other techniques after they returned.
Just then, while she was contemplating the plan for the future, the two other Dire Wolves shifted their attention from Bumpkin.
They dashed to Myah, realizing they had greatly underestimated him before the encounter.
As for the Dire Wolf that suffered from Myah's multiple 'Spear Strike,' it was still tenaciously clinging on to dear life, albeit incapacitated from the gruesome injuries. Even with its robust regeneration, blood was still oozing nonstop.
Perhaps it was a blessing that Myah couldn't see such a bloody scene.
Without wasting any time, Myah turned to face the other two wolves. Their strength was also Mid-stage Rank 1, and is injured.
The instant he reacted, they were already close, with mouths wide open ready to take a bite at any moment.
Unlike the previous confrontation, the number of his opponents has increased by one. Despite the two Dire Wolves' reckless charge, if he were to use the same tactics as before, Myah was sure to get crunched by either one.
Although the way Myah takes down the previous Dire wolf seems effortless, one could imagine the consequence if those solid and powerful jaws were to land successfully.
*Whoosh!* *Whoosh!*
'Foundation Spear Arts' Third move—Force Swing!'
In a flash, Myah brandished his spear twice.
While he didn't have many opportunities to use the skill all this while, the execution was smooth. Two arcs of compressed gleaming white energy gliding through the air crisscrossed, which were even more sophisticated than before. What followed behind was Myah's dashing silhouette.
He charged forward fearlessly.
It was too fast, and the Dire Wolves didn't have any time to react.
Due to how the two Dire Wolves moved so closely together, once the energy attacks reached them, they were pushed back simultaneously. The gaping, hideous gash wounds unveiled their cracked rib bones.
On the sideline, Bumpkin's jaw dropped in fright.
The scene was horrifying.
However, these Dire Wolves proved to be a tough nut to crack. Even with such heavy injuries, they are back on their feet almost immediately.
After whimpering in discomfort, the two wolves once again charged as a smoke-like murderous blood-red aura shrouded their bodies. More aggravated than ever!
*Grrr!*
*Gurrrrrr!*
After Myah started engaging with one of them, the other wolf quickly crept to the side, waiting for an opportunity to strike. That brief confrontation earlier has made it cautious and is no longer as reckless as before.
Soon, the opportunity presented itself as Myah was about to deliver a fatal strike to the badly injured Dire Wolf he confronted.
And as expected, the wolf that was observing him all this time suddenly opened its jaw and attacked—diluted blood and muddy saliva leaked from the gap between its sharp malignant teeth.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, the good-for-nothing Caramel used its Innate Ability and rushed out of the Moon Shrine Bracelet on little Myah's ankle. It shot toward the widened mouth of the sneaking wolf's mouth and plugged it tight.
