Once Lu Yuan entered the forest, he moved like a tiger returning to the wild.
The Dragon Bloodline in his body grew noticeably more active.
He was like a swift leopard, nimbly weaving through the trees.
A faint rustling came from the grass ahead.
"Is there movement?"
Lu Yuan's ears twitched, and he slashed his combat knife forward.
A python had just poked out its head and was immediately decapitated by the sharp blade!
The wound was smooth as a mirror, blood spurting from the snake's body.
"Golden-patterned python?"
Lu Yuan sheathed his knife and saw a huge headless python writhing in pain.
The python was as thick as a water bucket and over ten meters long.
Its body was covered with golden patterns.
In his previous life, it might have killed several tall men.
But facing Lu Yuan, it had no resistance.
Its head severed by a single blow, it soon went silent.
Lu Yuan picked out its gallbladder and was about to leave when a faint desire surged inside him.
It seemed the gallbladder had some use for him!
After some thought, Lu Yuan swallowed the entire gallbladder.
With the revival of Blue Star spiritual energy, genes mutated.
Even wild beasts now contained some energy within.
As soon as Lu Yuan swallowed the gallbladder, a crisp voice rang in his mind!
"Ding! Host absorbed Metal elemental energy, life source power +0.001!"
"My life source power increased just like that?"
Lu Yuan looked shocked.
Increasing life source power was extremely difficult, and even a small increase meant a noticeable boost in strength.
And he only absorbed the gallbladder of a normal python to gain 0.001 life source power.
What if he absorbed the essence and Crystal Core of an Exotic Beast?
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's heart burned with excitement.
He had originally planned just to kill a First rank Exotic Beast and pass the warrior assessment.
But now, plans had to change.
Increasing life source power would also speed up fusion progress with Bronze and Fire King.
He might even unlock more Kotodamas!
"Can I just kill First rank Exotic Beasts casually?"
Lu Yuan smiled slightly.
His figure shifted and vanished into the forest.
"Howl!" A fire wolf caught the scent of blood on Lu Yuan and immediately howled, calling its pack.
"Fire wolf pack?"
Seeing a fire wolf with red fur, Lu Yuan was not angry but pleased.
He stood in the forest, waiting for the pack to arrive.
No matter how strong, fire wolves were still just beasts.
They were one life tier below true First rank Exotic Beasts.
No matter how many came, they were easy prey for Lu Yuan.
Soon, dozens of blood-red eyes lit up the dim forest.
"Howl!"
Five fire wolves, each three meters long, leapt up and snapped at Lu Yuan with bloodthirsty jaws.
"Bring it on!"
Lu Yuan brandished his combat knife; in the next instant, a cold gleam flashed.
The wolves were too slow to react.
Blood splattered on Lu Yuan's face as he sliced all five fire wolves in half!
"Ding! Congratulations, host absorbed Fire elemental energy, life source power +0.002!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host absorbed Fire elemental energy, life source power +0.003!"
...
Other fire wolves kept attacking recklessly.
But for Lu Yuan, it was just more strokes of his blade.
Minutes later, even the last fire wolf king fell under Lu Yuan's knife.
"This won't do. Energy gained from beasts is too little; I have to find a real First rank Exotic Beast."
Lu Yuan complained dissatisfied.
After absorbing the essence, he quickly left.
...
"Instructor, look here."
A staff member pulled up Lu Yuan's battle footage.
"This kid's blade skills are solid. Why would he kill beasts when he's fine?"
"Is he absorbing energy from the fire wolves?"
Li Mu glanced but didn't care much.
In fact, many Warriors absorb Exotic Beast essence and Crystal Cores mid-assessment to strengthen or recover.
As long as it doesn't violate rules, he won't intervene.
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared on screen.
It was the voluptuous Zhao Shiqi!
Seeing the fire wolf corpses scattered around, her expression was calm, without discomfort.
Strictly speaking, coming from a martial family, she had trained in combat since age eight.
Her battle experience was even richer than Lu Yuan's!
