Chapter 9: The First Kill
The sun illuminates this cold, windswept land of ice, in a hidden natural cave.
The occasional crackling sound of burning sounded, and the light of the fire not only brightened the dark space, but also added warmth.
Mu Xuanyuan, who was covered in blood, sat next to the fire, looking at the fire snake swallowing in front of him, with an unconcealable look of tiredness on his face. On the other side, Xue Bing was neat and tidy, sitting there against the mountain wall. A slender jade leg was bent, his arm was on his knee, and his eyes looked at Mu Xuanyuan opposite from time to time.
After a whole night of fighting, it finally stopped when it was dark. In one night, Mu Xuanyuan experienced seven battles, all of which ended in defeat without exception.
However, although Mu Xuanyuan did not succeed in defeating a snow monkey, his performance in the battle was more and more eye-catching, and the time he persisted was getting longer and longer.
In fact, for Mu Xuanyuan, the biggest success was that he survived at the hands of the snow monkeys.
If you can't fight, you can escape, this is the battle strategy that Mu Xuanyuan set for himself. At this stage, he is not aiming to kill the snow monkeys. And the blood stains on his body, both his own and those of the snow monkeys.
The flickering light of the fire reflected on Mu Xuanyuan's face, and the young man's face seemed to have a tenacity that he had not had before.
"Is this where you usually hunt spirit beasts and carry out tasks?" Mu Xuanyuan raised his head, looked at Xue Bing on the opposite side and asked.
Xue Bing's expression moved, this was the first time since the first battle that Mu Xuanyuan opened his mouth to talk to her.
"Mostly." Xue Bing nodded. "You're making rapid progress, perhaps because I'm a little too demanding of you. After all, you've only been awakened for more than half a month. ”
Seemingly unwilling to say more about himself, Xue Bing led the topic to Mu Xuanyuan.
"But I still can't beat the snow monkeys." Mu Xuanyuan smiled bitterly, in the past night, he felt like he had walked in a circle in hell.
Although he had deliberately chosen the lone snow monkey to attack, it still made him suffer enough. If he was like Xue Bing, facing more than ten heads at once, I am afraid that he would already be a cold corpse by now.
"You've done a great job." Xue Bing said lightly, not comforting Mu Xuanyuan, but telling the truth.
She watched Mu Xuanyuan rush towards the snow monkey again and again, with such a back, he looked weak and helpless, but he was so arrogant.
"Normally, at the age of fifteen, the cultivation of a martial artist should be in the late stage of the Induction Realm, and some people with outstanding talents can even break through to the Spirit Realm. Therefore, I always unconsciously look at and demand you with a normal level of strength. ”
"What you asked for is right, my father probably thinks so too, so he will agree to you to bring me to the ice field, he hopes that I can at least enter the Northern Spirit Academy with the strength that a normal person has." Mu Xuanyuan smiled and threw a piece of wood into the fire.
"After all, you have been silent for fifteen years after ........, and the domain master doesn't want you to be discriminated against by others after entering the Northern Spirit Academy." Xue Bing modified his wording and said to Mu Xuanyuan.
"If you haven't experienced it, you will never know how lethal the so-called criticism is, and it can really destroy a person's faith."
"I understand." Mu Xuanyuan nodded, in the last life on the earth, he was an unknown little person. Who wants to stay at home without being able to escape the harsh reality?
Isn't it precisely because so many people are addicted to computer games that they have a greater possibility of getting the dignity they crave in that virtual world?
Maybe my ideas are a bit extreme, but it is undeniable that it is definitely one of the important reasons.
"Actually, you're progressing faster than I thought you would." Xue Bing said. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just rest."
Mu Xuanyuan nodded, and then lay on the ground, and after a short time, he fell into a deep sleep.
And when night fell, two figures walked out of the cave and disappeared into the night.
……………….
The ninth day of practice in the ice field.
Looking at Mu Xuanyuan, who was fighting with a snow monkey in the distance, the look of approval and amazement in Xue Bing's eyes was undisguised, and he couldn't hide it.
Nine days of ice field cultivation made Mu Xuanyuan seem to have been reborn, and even the temperament of the whole person has undergone earth-shaking transformation.
Mu Xuanyuan's body is extremely flexible, and there is an extreme degree between advance and retreat, and there is no superfluous movement. Between flashing and moving, it is actually pleasing to the eye.
Mu Xuanyuan's fist, every time, blasted out from an extremely tricky angle, smashing heavily on the snow monkey's body. The snow monkey's furious roar showed that it was taking a lot of damage.
"Roar!" The enraged snow monkey's eyes were red, and the human in front of him aroused all the ferocity in its bones. A pair of sharp claws stretched out, and rushed towards Mu Xuanyuan frantically.
"Be careful!" Xue Bing's heart tightened, and he couldn't help shouting, and at the same time took a step forward. The snow monkey was obviously completely insane, so she was also vigilant.
However, the next moment, she suddenly found that Mu Xuanyuan's fighting style had also changed. He no longer relied on his body to dodge the snow monkey's attack as before, but went directly to it!
Mu Xuanyuan's fist collided head-on with the claws of the snow monkey again and again, and the blood shot out, but he did not retreat.
Xue Bing's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't understand why Mu Xuanyuan would suddenly use this method of exchanging injuries for injuries. In terms of strength, he is clearly inferior to the snow monkeys. If this continues, defeat is only a matter of time.
And the battle situation was just as Xue Bing judged, in the face of the snow monkey's frontal attack, Mu Xuanyuan began to fall into the downwind, his steps gradually messy, and he was suppressed little by little.
However, just as Xue Bing was about to make a move, Mu Xuanyuan suddenly roared, and an astonishing aura fluctuation swept out of his body.
What Xue Bing didn't know was that a voice sounded in Mu Xuanyuan's mind at this moment.
[Constitution Enhancement Upgrade, Bronze Quality Lv7]
In an instant, the physical strength that had already been consumed was directly full, and Mu Xuanyuan smashed his fist on the snow monkey's claws. A piercing bone cracking sound suddenly sounded, and then under Xue Bing's incredulous gaze, the snow monkey's body was directly blasted out.
This punch was powerful and heavy, and Mu Xuanyuan, who was in a full state, burst out with amazing strength through the upgrading of his physique. The body of the snow monkey is in the shape of a large zigzag, well..... taizigzag, in fact, it is a wooden zigzag to be precise, and it flew out about 20 meters away.
"Bang!"
Mu Xuanyuan followed the trend, and the snowflakes splashed under his feet, and a small round pit was blown up on the exposed dirt floor. The whole person jumped up in the air and appeared above the snow monkey.
"Boom!"
Another punch fell, smashing into the monkey's face. This punch directly smashed the snow monkey from mid-air to the ground.
"Ahh
Mu Xuanyuan's body fell, rode on the snow monkey's body, raised his fists, and smashed wildly on the snow monkey's head.
[Soul Power +500 +500 +500]
Every time a fist falls, the system will give a prompt sound that rewards soul power. However, at this moment, Mu Xuanyuan seemed to be crazy, fists to the flesh, and madly attacked the snow monkey. The blood that burst out fell on his face, making his countenance look a little hideous at this moment.
[Level Up, Level 6 Soul Warrior]
With the fall of a system prompt, the snow monkey was completely silent, and Mu Xuanyuan's movements finally stopped.
It's just that the reason for Mu Xuanyuan to stop was not the death of the snow monkey, but another system prompt sound that came next.
[Induction First Kill, Bonus Soul Value +1]
Bonus Soul Points? The system actually gave a soul point reward?!
Mu Xuanyuan was stunned, he really didn't expect that the system would give a soul reward if he successfully killed the snow monkey for the first time! You know, this is the first soul point he's gotten so far.
If you think about it carefully, it's not just soul points, but the system also gives soul experience rewards before.
Mu Xuanyuan wondered in his heart, he had practiced in this ice field for nine days, fighting with the snow monkeys every day, but he had never received any reward, what was going on?
"Is it because I have the advantage and have the strength to defeat the snow monkeys?" Mu Xuanyuan's heart moved, and he faintly guessed the reason.
"As long as I have the strength to defeat my opponent, then my attacks will be rewarded with the system's soul experience?"
Mu Xuanyuan's heart suddenly became hot, and he hurriedly called up his system interface.
Host: Mu Xuanyuan
The first martial soul: Yin and Yang Chaos Hammer (Martial Soul Introduction: Yin and Yang Chaos Hammer, Yin Hammer Soul Breaking, Yang Hammer Breaking the Sky. The combination of yin and yang opens up the world. )
Second Martial Spirit: None

Items: None
Basic Skills:
Constitution Enhancement (Bronze Lv7, upgradable)

Soul Points: 1
That's right, after nine days of cultivation, Mu Xuanyuan's basic fighting and basic body techniques have all been upgraded to bronze quality Lv7, but his physique enhancement is lagging behind the two, but now he has successfully caught up.
Looking at his system interface, Mu Xuanyuan nodded with satisfaction, this period of practice was not in vain, and the results were quite gratifying.
Not only has his level and various basic skill levels been improved, but he has also been rewarded with soul points. It's a pity that only 1 soul point is awarded, and this system is too stingy.
"Be careful!"
And just when Mu Xuanyuan was paying attention to his system interface, Xue Bing's exclamation suddenly came. Mu Xuanyuan hurriedly looked up, and a huge figure appeared in his field of vision.
It was a snow monkey king with a height of more than 3 meters!
At this time, the snow monkey king was already close at hand, and that extremely hideous face was rapidly enlarged in Mu Xuanyuan's pupils.
In the distance, Xue Bing's figure swept like a bolt of lightning, the long knife in his hand was unsheathed, and the blazing fire spread along the blade.
However, the next moment, Xue Bing's pupils suddenly froze, as if he had seen something incredible.........
