A punch pierced through the air moving with horrifying speed as it slammed on the wolf's snort with a bang sound.
Lucian's body was laid horizontally above the ground as he infused all his strength and body weight into that single punch. He focused everything on power and ignored defense. The punch landed on the wolf's snort sending it flying but it's claw also landed on Lucian's chest sending him retreating too.
But Lucian's smile only widened as he immediately stopped his backwards motion as his legs dug deep into the ground before colliding with the still recovering wolf.
Claw for fists, wound for wound. A crazy fist fight occured where each refused to dodge instead attacking with all their might.
Blood poured out of Lucian's mouth, but his smile only widened as the demonic red light in his eyes flared with more even more light. His legs dug deep into the ground refusing him to move even a single inch back, as his fist turned into countless mirage from punching.
The beginning of the fist fight was a stalemate as both fighters refused to back down but slowly the werewolf was beginning to be pushed back.
The werewolf's eyes widened as it felt as if an hammer was slamming into it continuously. The fists were so powerful he could feel them in his bones as he felt itself being stifled and didn't have time to breath.
It slashed forward with all it's speed continuously ripping out chunks of flesh from its prey body but it was as if it couldn't feel pain as it's prey smile only got wider while it's punch also became heavier.
Slowly, it's body was reaching their limit as it continuously retreated under it's prey's power. It's eyes widened as it gave a deep loud roar refusing to back down from the trash he was giving a beaten right now, but the truth was as clear as day, it couldn't win this fight.
The thought of running slowly crept it's way into his head, something it usually does when it felt there was no hope of winning but this was different. This was it's prey, this was no strong foe. It doubted itself and was confused in the middle of the battle but in a battle of this level, even a single second of confusion was enough to decide the outcome.
Lucian's smile widened with every punch, as it felt excitement coursing through his beings. Every injury to him made him even more happier as it felt itself slowly being lost into the emotion making him punch with even more speed. A strange emotion he had never witnessed before.
But while he might be enjoying the battle, he didn't completely lose himself in it and instead was waiting for a perfect moment, seeing the wolf's slashing speed suddenly slowed down while it's eyes were lit in confusion.
He screamed to himself
'Now'
The werewolf slowly grinded it's teeth as it made up it's choice. It decided to forgo it's pride and run. It's eyes flashed with fury as it tried to imprint the memory of Lucian's face into his brain.
It immediately looked behind him trying to escape after performing a feint, but it's eyes widened as it saw a reflection of light at the corner of it's eyes resulting from its prey bringing out something from behind it.
It's eyes immediately flashed back towards Lucian with speed but it seemed it was too late as a broken blade moved with speed piercing through the air before lodging itself into the wolf's chest. Blood poured out from the wolf's mouth as it felt the balde entering into it's chest while scraping on its heart.
It's hand immediately held on to the blade stopping it from descending further as it tried to immediately drag it out but it's eyes widened in shock and disbelief in the next second.
Lucian slowly brought out the broken blade from behind him as he immediately threw it forward with all his speed. It immediately soared forward and pierced into the wolf's chest but he knew it wouldn't be able rupture it's heart, his main goal in the first place.
Immediately jumping into the air, he rotated with speed gathering momentum before slamming his leg on the blade's end causing the blade to lodge in deeper into the wolf's chest emerging outside from it back as it was nailed on the tree behind it.
The wolf's eyes widened in shock as it felt something immediately blow up with a bang in it's chest as there was no doubt what that could be seeing as life was immediately leaving it.
It's eyes looked towards Lucian flashing with regret and hatred as it stared at its prey who finally killed it in the end. If only it immediately tried to devour it's prey in the first place instead of trying to show off to it it's power.
Besides he wasn't even aware it's prey was hiding a blade behind it as it thought it already broke the blade in two rendering it useless.
But to think it finally died, died to a weakling with no sign of cultivation.
Lucian stared at the wolf who was lodged into the tree, blood dripping down it's chest as he watched life left it's eyes, an evil smirk appeared on his face but the red dot in his eyes suddenly faded away as Lucian's face changed when his knees immediately slammed down on the ground blood oozing out from his mouth. He felt all his muscles screaming out to him in horrifying pain as he repeatedly coughed out.
The pain eventually reduced as Lucian slowly walked towards the wolf, placing his hands on it's forehead, violent pulse of energy entered into Lucian's body and into his head as the second half incomplete star was immediately filled, but it didn't end there.
The third Bloody Star also began getting filled up with the wolf's blood essence when Lucian felt a boom sound occur in his body.
His body immediately retreated backwards slamming into the ground as he felt as if a dam of energy has been released in him. The three completely filled star of his Nine Bloody Stars suddenly began brightening up with a powerful crimson light as he felt energy being passed into him.
His wounds and broken bones were immediately healed up while he felt all his bones itching crazily as waves of dark impurity were continuously expelled out from his body.
His eyes widened due to the pain but he bit down tightly refusing to scream. After some time the pain faded away as if it was only a mirage as Lucian slowly stood up.
His bones crackled within him like lightning as he felt his physique had been strengthen almost thrice than before. A three times increase in strength.
A smile appeared on Lucian's face as he clenched his fists before throwing out a punch, the tree in front of him was immediately blown into bits as his eyes widened in realization.
With every filling up of his stars, his strength will continuously double. He couldn't imagine what will happen when he finally filled up his Ninth star, then he'll possess Nine times his current strength.
Now he was firmly at the Early Star rank stage of the Hegemonic Asura Physique.
He directed his attention away from his body as he looked at the dead werewolf. His hand immediately held on tightly to the blade as he pulled out the broken blade causing the werewolf to land on the ground with a thud.
Tearing away the remaining linen on his tattered cloth, he cleaned the blade off the blood and picked up the Katana head too before carefully wrapping them both in a cloth.
His clothes were completely covered in blood and in taters as he brought out a new black robe from his bag and donning it on. Now he looked like Lucian- a harmless little play boy with beautiful blue eyes and raven dark hair.
Carrying up his bag, he took a deep breath in as he dashed towards the Divine Battle sect.
While the battle had been incredibly dangerous with almost no chance of winning. He eventually won in the end and even managed to breakthrough to the Early Star rank stage by absorbing the Night werewolf's blood essence.
The sentence, opportunity and danger coexist together really was true.
