The forest was quiet… too quiet.
Klaus stood beneath the ancient trees, slowly circulating his qi according to the Ancient Tyrant Body Technique.
His muscles trembled.
Not from weakness.
From pressure.
“… So this is body cultivation,” he muttered.
Unlike normal qi circulation, this technique was violent — it forced spiritual energy directly into flesh, bones, and meridians.
Painful.
But powerful.
[Ding!]

Klaus smirked.
“Now we’re talking.”
He stepped deeper into the forest.
One hour later…
The air suddenly turned cold.
A low growl echoed.
From the shadows… something massive moved.
Two crimson eyes opened.
Iron Fang Shadow Wolf.
Klaus’s pupils shrank.
“…Strong.”
This wasn’t like the weak beasts from before.
This one… was at least two minor realms above him.
The wolf crouched.
Then
BOOM!
It vanished.
The fight begins
Klaus barely tilted his head
WHOOSH!
Claws tore past his cheek, drawing blood.
Fast.
Very fast.
He slid backward, heart pounding.
“So the system won’t make things easy…”
The wolf attacked again.
This time Klaus moved his fingers.
Thin threads of qi shot forward like invisible needles.
Finger Law basic control.
The wolf twisted midair, partially dodging — but one qi thread pierced its shoulder.
Blood splashed.
It howled in fury.
Brutal exchange
The battle turned savage.
Claw.
Dodge.
Qi thread.
Roll.
Klaus was pushed back repeatedly.
His breathing grew rough.
His body ached from forcing the Tyrant Body Technique.
But his eyes…
We're getting calmer.
Sharper.
More dangerous.
“Come again,” Klaus said coldly.
The wolf lunged one final time.
This time
Klaus stepped forward instead of back.
His fingers moved.
Five qi threads condensed into one sharp line.
Piercing Finger Strike!
SHIIING!
The qi line shot straight through the wolf’s throat.
Silence.
Then
THUD.
The massive beast collapsed.
System rewards

Klaus exhaled slowly.
His body trembled from exhaustion.
But his lips curled.
“… Now we’re getting somewhere.”
In the distance, the forest seemed to grow quieter.
As if something else…
Had started paying attention.
