The monster manages to dodge the punch and the attack hit a tree, from the impact of the punch a whole area gets cleared. Leaving the terrain solid and no trees intact there.
I looked at the monster. "Why did you dodge? You scared?"
Suddenly the monster attacked and I was too slow to dodge it, I managed to block most of the hit but I still got sent flying back, hitting a tree down.
I cough out some blood "sh*t!"
I quickly get back up again to fight, but suddenly, the monster accumulate energy to its mouth and howl, using a skill called 'beastly roar' . my ears bleed from the sound and I temporarily gets deaf. I hold my ears from pain.
"B*stard!!" ... The monster suddenly charges towards me to attack, using its claws to shred me. But I stand still, I don't block nor dodge, instead I attack back,
Sometimes, the best defense is offence!.
I accumulate energy into both of my fists, and punch, creating a new skill 'Earth shattering barrage'!
Die!!
From the clash of the attacks there's dust all over, scattered making it hard to see. After the dust clears. I can see the corpse of the monsters with holes in its corpse, I was covered in it's blood.
I cough some blood out, I used too much energy using that skill. But after a moment, I absorb the energy of the high ranking tier 3 monster, all of my wounds heal, my body strengths more, and I breakthrough to the 9th stage of the QI condensation realm. Now I have the strength to easily beat a early core formation cultivator, and my strength is on par with a 4th stage of a core formation cultivator. I gain the skill 'beastly roar' from absorbing the monster's energy, my sense of smelling increases too.
Hm. The fur of this monster would go for quite the price.
I can smell water nearby. I go where the water smell is coming from and find a river near the area that was cleared from my punch. As I walk to the area that was cleared, I can feel I'm close on breaking through the foundation establishment realm. I sit down to cultivate, and after 5 hours, I entered the realm of foundation establishment, inside my spiritual realm, where the endless void was, had formed another star, my strength is now on par with someone of the 3rd stage of core formation.
Two days later. I had already sold the materials of the monster that I killed, and I had already started building a house on the place that had been cleared during my fight.
