C29 Wolf's Fossa

"Got it." Xiang Jing continued tapping on the Gale Hammer Technique as he said, "I'm an adult now. As long as I learn this martial skill, I'll be able to fully display the power of the hammer."

"Almost, that's only if you are proficient in this hammer technique."

Unlocking the Gale Hammer Technique

"Gale Hammer Technique!"

"There are three levels: Initiation, Small Success, and Large Success. Each level increases one's strength by five times, and when combined with the corresponding weapon, it is equivalent to an increase."

"Buying points: 200"

For example, once you reached the entry level, you could increase your strength by 5 times, and if you had a hammer, you could increase it by 10 times, or 20 times if you reach the small success stage, or 30 times if you increase your strength.

"But that's not right." Xiang Jing asked in confusion, "Then if I can increase my strength by 15 times without using martial skills, what's with the basics of hammering?"

"The host is so stupid, the 10 times base strength of the hammer is for the hammer. With the level of the Gale Hammer Technique, you only need to reach the small success stage. The increase in strength for the large success stage is built on the premise that you use the hammer, otherwise you won't be able to increase any power."

Xiang Jing thought for a while and said, "In other words, the power gain brought by the hammer is limited. Martial skills can help you break the power limit."

"You're still pretty smart. Friend, remind the host that after you learn martial arts, you can only increase your strength when you have a weapon. It's not a permanent increase after training."

"I understand …" Xiang Jing roughly calculated, "If I reach large success, with a Wind Breaking Hammer, I can only unleash 75 times of power."

"That's right. However, I suggest that the host buy it first and take a look. Martial skills are not something you can learn just because you want to."

Xiang Jing didn't think too much about it. Since the System had come up with these three things, it must be the most suitable for him.

"The main host is too poor. Otherwise, there would be more and better ones that would be suitable for you."

"Shut up!" Xiang Jing directly bought the Ironbone Armor, Wind Breaking Hammer, and Gale Hammer Technique.

Immediately after, three balls of faint white light appeared in his Interspatial Ring.

Xiang Jing's consciousness merged with it and came close to a sphere. Inside it was a seemingly ordinary hammer, but it was one size bigger than a normal hammer. The hammer's head was completely dark and deep, and the handle was two feet long, giving off an extremely heavy feeling.

Xiang Jing asked, "How do we use this?"

"Communicate with your thoughts. If you want to, that's fine."

Xiang Jing touched the sphere containing the Wind Breaking Hammer. A light flashed in the next second and Xiang Jing felt something heavy in his hand.

Lowering his head, he saw that it was the Wind Breaking Hammer in the sphere. It had waved its hand twice, and its weight was just right.

Following the appearance of the Wind Breaking Hammer, the ball also disappeared into the Interspatial Ring. Xiang Jing continued to take out the Steel Bone Armor and the Gale Hammer Technique.

The bone armor immediately attached itself to his body. It looked like armor worn by ancient soldiers, but it didn't have a very heavy feeling. It was like a thin layer of gauze covering his body. With just a thought, it automatically disappeared into his body.

Xiang Jing continued to open a rather old book. It was densely covered with a lot of words, along with a series of pictures.

After a while, Xiang Jing felt dizzy and confused. He couldn't understand what it was.

"If you want to learn martial skills, it's not something that can be done overnight. Other than your own talent, you will need to comprehend it for a long time and work hard to cultivate it."

Xiang Jing shook his head. "Is there anything in the shop that can help me learn martial arts quickly?"

"Yes, the host is recommended to purchase a level one Wisdom Pill. After consuming it, you can quickly comprehend the martial skills. You can learn the entry level and buy the required 200 Hunting Points."

"I'll buy it." Xiang Jing directly bought the Wisdom Pill from a Level 1 Pill. After consuming it, he felt a stream of energy flowing through his brain, causing his train of thought to become extremely clear.

Opening up the martial skill in his hands, the originally obscure text suddenly became easy to understand, and Xiang Jing's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Half an hour later, after closing the skill, Xiang Jing picked up the Wind Breaking Hammer and swung his right hand up. A stream of energy entered his body and with a light shout, it fiercely smashed down.

The Wind Breaking Hammer s were like a hot knife through butter, their powerful energy forming pressure that faintly produced the sound of a sonic boom.

"Hong!" After a loud noise, the entire body of a scrap car was smashed into a pile of scrap metal. Cracks even appeared on the ground.

"Great." Xiang Jing withdrew his hammer and stood up. He had only used about half of his strength, but it already had such great power. If he used it at full power, wouldn't a house be smashed to smithereens?

Originally, the Hunting Points only had a few digits left, but it had already been swept clean. With this set of equipment, it could only earn a lot.

The only problem was that the weapon was a hammer, not a cannon. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to use melee combat and get shot from far away. If they couldn't beat it and ran away, wouldn't that feel great?

"Ding! Origin prompt host, although the usage and power of hot weapons are not bad, but without martial skills, the space used is limited. It is not recommended to rely on hot weapons."

Xiang Jing nodded. He had already experienced the power of martial skills. Moreover, as his strength increased, it would be impossible for him to use his gun to directly attack.

Xiang Jing stretched and stretched as he walked towards the inside of the zoo with the Wind Breaking Hammer in hand.

Suddenly, the trees by the side of the road shook, and a fishy smell came from the side.

Xiang Jing raised his hammer and swung it towards the object that was pouncing towards him.

After a hissing sound, a green striped python as thick as a person's thigh fell to the side of the road, with half of its body still hanging from a book.

Half of its head was caved in, and some dark green blood was dripping out. Obviously, Xiang Jing's hammer attack had caused quite a bit of damage to it.

"Hiss!"

The giant python was confused by Xiang Jing's hammering. It shook its huge head, pulling at the wound and making it scream in pain.

The brutal light in its eyes grew even brighter. It was ready to attack again and let the human die in its stomach.

However, just as it came back to its senses, a large black iron hammer ruthlessly smashed onto its head.

"Peng!"

With a muffled sound, the giant python's head was smashed into the grass. The latter half of its body fell from the tree and began to twist crazily.

Xiang Jing used his full strength, 55 times his full strength, holding onto the Wind Breaking Hammer's full strength. With a loud bang, the giant python stopped twisting, its entire head had already been completely smashed by the hammer, and its body would occasionally twitch.

"Ding! Host killed level 16 mutated python. Obtained 96 experience points, and Hunting Points s 96 points."

The mutated beasts were just as resistant as he had expected. If it were a normal person, they would have been a corpse by the time he had struck it.

However, the reward for killing the python was three times higher than what he had expected.

Furthermore, the growth system of a mutated beast was different from that of a human's. Although this giant python was only level 16, its strength had increased by 28 times.

However, this was nothing to Xiang Jing. After getting 30 EXP from killing a mutated python, as long as he killed another 20 or so of these pythons, he would be able to level up.

After finishing off the python, Xiang Jing no longer took the road and went into the woods beside.

Just as he had expected, there were countless mutated squirrels and gecko in the forest. Most of them were snakes.

Even Xiang Jing didn't dare to be too flamboyant. Most of the time, he just wanted to get rid of the monsters that were alone, then find the next one.

It was rare for him to accidentally be ambushed by a monster hiding in the treetop. However, with the protection of the Ironbone Armor, it wasn't a threat to him.

More than an hour later, after Xiang Jing had killed a mutated peacock with a single strike of his hammer, his entire body felt refreshed, and all the fatigue that he had previously accumulated was swept away.

"Ding! Congratulations to host. You have levelled up to level 11. Reward: 1000 Hunting Points."

"It's gone?" Xiang Jing was surprised, "Aren't there usually a lot of rewards after leveling up?"

"Host, you are overthinking it. With a system store that is comparable to an external existence, it is already very merciful for you to give the Hunting Points a bit."

Xiang Jing no longer hesitated and continued to walk ahead.

Now that he was level 11, he should be able to continue purchasing Gene Medicine and unlock the second level's gene lock.

However, with Xiang Jing's current 1,723 Hunting Points, it would be difficult for him to complete the first stage of the fusion.

Hence, he could only continue to store Hunting Points and wait until he had enough points to exchange for fusion before he could maximize his own strength.

After passing through the woods, Xiang Jing took one step forward and quickly retreated. The cat was in the bushes, holding its breath and minimizing its bodily functions.

Outside the shrubbery, there was a collapsed iron fence. On the other side, there was a circle of grass with wolves as big as small elephants lying on it.

He estimated that there were more than a dozen of them. There were many corpses and bones in a hole at the side. It seemed to be their food.

Xiang Jing peeked his eyes out of the bushes. Luckily, he reacted quickly, so he didn't disturb the pack of wolves.

Wolves were ferocious carnivores in peaceful times, and they lived in packs. Even the King of Beasts would be terrified of wolves.

Xiang Jing decided that it was better to fight in the open, fighting with this kind of mutated wolf pack was the same as courting death.

"Ding … System F Class Mission: Hunting the Mutant Wolves 0/23"

"I fucking …" Just as Xiang Jing was about to leave, the system suddenly issued out a quest in his mind, "Why didn't you give me the quest of killing those snakes? Are you playing with me now?"

"Ding! The monsters that the host has just killed are nothing but small, unranked monsters. They do not form the necessary conditions to trigger the system's quest."

"Can I choose to give up?" Honestly speaking, Xiang Jing was a little scared when facing this pack of wolves. He had just analyzed it, their strength was usually around 30 times. The one in the middle of the 10 pieces seemed to be the Wolf King, which had a full strength of 48 times.

He wasn't afraid of fighting Xiang Jing alone, but this monster couldn't possibly talk sense to him.

"Host can choose to give up, but the system will kindly inform host that the reward for completing the mission given by the system will be very generous."

"Alright, isn't it just some wolf cub? Half a wolf." Xiang Jing instantly became high-spirited. Of course, it wasn't because of some system quest that gave him such a generous reward.
