In the forest
After gaining so distance from his attacker, Liang Yi finally had ti to see who attacked him.
A Wind Cloud Leopard, likely around level 6 or 7, fast and with high attack power.
Without batting an eye, Liang Yi pulled a rolling pin from behind him.
It’s not that he’d lost his mind; it was simply the only thing he could use as a weapon. Just a mont ago, one scratch from the leopard caused him to lose over 50 drops of blood, along with a bleeding effect.
Another hit like that, and Liang Yi would surely die. But he was not panicked in the slightest; in fact, he almost wanted to laugh.
Damn, being a lucky dog is freaking aweso.
If it had been any other beast, he would’ve been dead for sure, but with this leopard, haha.
Not to toot his own horn, but if it hadn’t attacked him sneakily from behind, Liang Yi could’ve killed it even with a rolling pin in a frontal confrontation.
The reason was simple: muscle mory.
In his past life, there was a ti when his main account was short on cash, and he needed to farm a valuable kind of Leopard Fat that could only be obtained from these demon leopards, roughly the amount of a fingernail from each leopard.
And when Liang Yi completed the task and was selling the goods, what was beside him was a whole jarful!
If the Demon Clan hadn’t sent so experts to stop Liang Yi, he almost hunted these leopards to extinction.
He even achieved a title later on: Leopard’s Throw.
[Leopard’s Throw]: Increases damage to leopard kind by a hundred percent, and has a certain chance to make them surrender and defect during the attacks.
If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em, what else could you do? — A certain leopard defector who wished to remain anonymous
Liang Yi gripped the rolling pin in his hand; he understood this kind of demon beast’s behavior all too well. Unless sothing unexpected happened, this sneaky bastard had set its sights on him quite early.
But because he was full of energy and high in alertness before, it chose not to act directly. It wasn’t until he found a water source and let his guard down montarily after testing it that the leopard struck.
"I never thought there’d co a day when I’d be the one being pecked at by the geese I’ve hunted all my life." Liang Yi was a bit annoyed; this single swipe had indeed avenged its brethren.
The leopard kept its gaze fixed on Liang Yi’s throat, its body tensing up. It didn’t strike when it first noticed this weak human not because it wanted him to lower his guard, but because he exuded an aura that sent shivers down its spine.
Now, since he had been ambushed and severely injured, and seed like an ordinary person, he would simply be its al for the day.
When the leopard’s body was fully charged and ready to strike, its hind legs fiercely kicked off the ground, launching itself towards Liang Yi like an arrow shot from a bow.
Liang Yi just sat there. Blood had pooled beneath him, his head hung low as if he had given up completely.
"Die!" The thought flashed through the leopard’s mind as it opened its wide mouth, ready to bite off Liang Yi’s head in one go.
"Idiot, die for !" Liang Yi, with head lowered, suddenly looked up with a face full of calm and mockery—no sign of yielding at all.
Liang Yi’s right hand drew the rolling pin from behind and thrust it vertically into the leopard’s open jaws, eager to clamp shut.
The leopard realized sothing was amiss and wanted to abort the attack, but what’s done is done; Newton didn’t jump out of his coffin this ti either, and the clamping force drove the rolling pin straight through the leopard’s head.
Liang Yi, still not reassured, stirred it around with the rolling pin, fearing that the sneaky bastard wasn’t dead yet!
[Ding! Congratulations, you have slain a level 7 Wind Cloud Leopard, gaining 7000 Experience points.]
[Ding! Now determining the power balance between the two sides.]
[Determined that the challenge difficulty of the Wind Cloud Leopard is C-; Experience gain increased by 50%.]
[Congratulations, you have gained an additional 3500 Experience points.]
Only after hearing the System’s notification did Liang Yi finally relax completely, collapsing onto the grass.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to lie down; it was mainly because he had a bleeding wound on his back, and lying down would rub the wound and continue to bleed.
Liang Yi, sprawled on the grass, looked to his left and shockingly found himself face to face with the leopard.
He smoothed the leopard’s eyes closed, which refused to close in death, and sighed:
"Brother Leopard, may you rest in peace. The bla lies in choosing as prey; please be more cautious in your next life."
He knew the Wind Cloud Leopard all too well, knew exactly where its fatal weakness was, or else with his current level and attack power, he might not have been able to break through its defenses.
The Wind Cloud Leopard’s hide was exceptionally tough, impervious to anything but the most well-forged blades. But as a result, their insides were pitifully weak, any sharp object held by an ordinary person could pierce through them.
He only appeared to have given up, but in fact, he had concentrated all his energy on his eyes and right hand. His eyes to watch for the leopard’s attack; his right hand to ensure that the rolling pin would be thrust through in one go.
Whether he failed to see the leopard’s moves clearly or didn’t stab it on the first try, his head would have been relocated imdiately.
Liang Yi checked his Experience section and found that the experience had changed from 0/500 to 10500/500, but the number was still bolded with three characters indicating "Upgradable".
"Level up." Liang Yi silently commanded in his mind.
Before level ten, one is still considered a mortal, and leveling up only increases All Attributes by one point without any other effects, but an increase in Endurance Value would heal the wounds faster and greatly reduce negative impacts.

Realizing that the wound on his back was no longer bleeding, Liang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. If he kept bleeding at level 0, he would’ve been dood.
He felt the changes in his body, and unlike his previous life, he could now clearly feel the enhancent of his physical fitness.
However, before level ten, players’ attributes are all the sa; no one is higher than the other. Only when a player reaches level ten can they join a Sect and learn a Cultivation Technique, gradually entering the world of cultivation.
Now Liang Yi is not at level ten nor does he have a Cultivation Technique. If you can’t find a Cultivation Technique to learn at level ten, even if you amass experience points to the sky, you’re still just an ordinary person. How frustrating is that?
But it was unexpected that this battle triggered a difficulty judgnt, it seed the System also thought that he was no match for the Wind Cloud Leopard from all perspectives.
Liang Yi rubbed his hands together, setting aside the topic of Cultivation Techniques, it was ti to take joy in looting the corpse.
[Tough Leopard Skin]
[Leopard Fat]
[Sharp Teeth]
"Wow, is this the luck of kings? Has everything useful been stripped off the leopard?" Liang Yi looked at the white object in his backpack, which was of blue quality.
[Leopard Fat]: Blue quality. In terms of hair growth, it will never disappoint you.
This is sothing that can sell for a good amount of money, as for its use.
Of course, it’s for hair growth!
The crisis of hair loss is universal, unless you reside in the land of Buddha.
The Compendium of Materia dica describes it like this: "Leopard at is sour in taste, neutral in nature, non-toxic, can secure the internal organs, restore from collapse, and strengthen sinews and bones; when fat is mixed into hair ointnt, apply it in the morning and hair grows by evening."
Especially with the enhancent from the ga, the effect of this stuff is indeed dramatic.
Don’t look at so people with long hair on their foreheads – a little gust of wind, and their hairline could break through the skies, especially for those who stay up late for Cultivation without sleeping.
Therefore, the sales volu for this thing is actually extrely hot; anyone with a sense of beauty will buy so to stock up, for hair is truly, once gone, gone.
Liang Yi struggled to stand up, gathered the remnants of the Wind Cloud Leopard’s body into his backpack, then went to the river to scoop up so water with clean leopard skin to quench his thirst. Afterward, he rinsed off the bloodstains and rolling pin from the ground.
He made sure that the sll of blood was not detectable to anyone arriving at the scene before he quietly left.
Following the direction pointed at by the rolling pin, Liang Yi continued his journey, but due to his wounds and weakness, he moved very slowly. Luckily, he didn’t encounter any more beasts along the way, instead, he found several Spirit Fruits which can alleviate hunger and thirst, and took them into his backpack.
Looking at the sky, it was already afternoon.
"If I can’t find an exit or a safe place to rest, I’ll have to spend the night in the forest." Liang Yi murmured, looking sowhat worried.
But at that mont, his eyes sharpened, and he quickly hid behind a large tree, using the grass around the tree roots to camouflage himself.
He had just heard a swooshing sound.
Soone was coming!
