It seems like the monkey tired of watching each other, it makes the first move, it jumps down from the tree and charge at mu xin, then it suddenly jumps and stretch its hand forward forming a claw as it try to scratch mu xin, mu xin avoid it by stepping to the side, but the monkey immediately changes direction and scratch mu xin back causing a bleeding, the monkey stand in the distance looking at mu xin with a mocking expression as it lick the blood on its claw.
(F*ck that's hurt, and that bastard is mocking me, in the first place isn't my skin already as hard or harder than a rock? But its claw still injures me that's mean this one probably stronger than me)
Mu xin starting to get nervous at this new opponent, but he didn't divert his attention and fully lock in on the monkey, he tries to think of a way to defeat it, but the monkey didn't give him much choice, the monkey charge at him again but this time mu xin give a punch himself determine to receive some more wound, the monkey avoids it by jumping above mu xin went above his head and land on the ground, but it immediately charges at mu xin again while mu xin who just turn back only to see the monkey already very close to him, he instinctively punches out from the side, his punch connects with the monkey face, but the monkey also scratches his chest, the monkey flying away for few meters and hit a tree then fell down, the monkey trying to stand up wobbly, mu xin already run to it when it hit the tree so mu xin manage to grab its hand just in time before the monkey regain its sense.
(You might be more agile than that boar, but your body is slender so I'm sure you much lighter that it)
Mu xin smile and pull the monkey hit it on the ground he pulls it again hit it at the tree he pulls it again and hit it at the ground again, he treated the monkey like a whip hitting anything he sees with it.
After few more hit mu xin let go a figure full of blood from head to toe lying down motionlessly.
Mu xin is gasping for breath, but he didn't linger long and immediately run away from that place for fear another wild beast coming because of the commotion, after he runs for few minutes he stops to sit down and leaning on a tree.
(Fighting without palm technique and that ability to see moving thing as slow is hard after all, though I'm the one who decide not to use that one, i feel like if i use that i could have grabbed that monkey arm the first time it charges at me and trash it around like that with same result, but then there's no struggle, but then again I'm not sure whenever I'm gaining something or not from this, i feel like I'm just suffering)
Mu xin look down at his injured chest and sigh.
(Just because I have refined my body doesn't mean i cant get injured, though compare to when i refine my body this pain is nothing, hmm? Did the wound slowly closeup? Wait, there's something flowing from my dantian to the wound, it's small but its there)
Mu xin closed his eyes and focus on his dantian, soon enough he saw what's going on in it.
The green lotus was letting out a light green energy from its petal and its flow to the wound healing it.
(It can do that? I don't know what is that but can i speed it up? Let's just try it)
He tried to control his spiritual root to release more light green energy surprisingly it works, the petal shock the light green energy pour out like water.
He opens his eye and look at his wound to see that the almost twenty cm long scratch only leave behind about three cm long which will be gone soon enough, he closes his eye again to see the wound on his back, and it was the same as the front.
Mu xin exhale in relieve thinking how useful this ability is.
'Seems like your spiritual root rather powerful'
Shu hua voice appear in his mind.
"Sister hua you know something?"
He asks hoping for any information so he could utilize his spiritual root better.
(Since the green lotus have such ability then the other should be able to do something to)
'Sister only see mu xin have three spiritual root but don't know what it can do, but plant type spiritual root usually won't heal that fast'
"Well that's good then"
He no longer asking question and just resting to recover from two consecutive fights.
(That mean i don't have to depend too much on pill to heal my injury)
He rests for more than thirty minute and resume his training with wild beast, from time to time, shu hua would point out the wild beast direction then mu xin will fight them, there was a few varieties of wild beast such as a big frog that spit out a purple gas but when the frog trying to catch mu xin with its tongue he gives the frog the same treatment the white monkey receive, there also a big antler deer which much faster and more agile than boar but mu xin just stop its charging by catching its antler but end up wounding his arm because of its antler, after he catches it, he twists it to the side making the deer fall then he twists its neck beyond its limit breaking it.
(I feel like what i did is still brute force everything, alright next time i can't catch the enemy, i should just punch and punch alone)
He though so while sitting on top of a tree healing his injured hand and watching the sun set.
"Guess it's time to go home"
He jumps down and start walking back, but he suddenly hears a sound of battle, curious he follows it to its source.
