Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 6

That giant tree, suddenly shook as if being swept by a fierce wind. The branches on the treetop rustled, and leaves cascaded down like a shower of petals. Zhou Yi slowly lifted his palm away from the trunk. There seemed to be no visible change, but his eyes revealed a profound sense of excitement. He could feel that his palm had inflicted significant damage upon the mighty tree.

Gently extending a finger, he lightly touched the spot he had just made contact with. Instantly, it crumbled into debris, sliding down like quicksand. After a moment, a sizable cavity appeared。

Zhou Yi gazed at his handiwork and silently marveled. Truly, the power of the sixth level of internal energy was incomparable to the fifth level. Although the Wave Ripple Technique, being a water-based martial art, lacked the offensive might of the metal Technique, the damage inflicted by the sixth level of the Wave Ripple Technique exceeded that of the fifth level of the Metal Technique.

This was the advantage of strong internal energy.

Suddenly, a gleam flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes, and he immediately turned his head, fixedly staring at his side and rear.

From that direction came a faint sound of footsteps. If it were before yesterday, he might not have been able to perceive it, but since reaching the sixth level of cultivation, his senses had sharpened. Thus, he could now hear it clearly.

The sound was extremely subtle, possibly from small creatures like mountain chickens or foxes, based on his previous experience in the mountains. However, inexplicably, Zhou Yi felt an indescribable sense of danger, which prevented him from relaxing in the slightest.

Finally, a dark hand emerged, parting the obstructing branches and revealing a large bear standing over two meters tall.

Zhou Yi was momentarily stunned. His gaze swiftly scanned the bear's body, particularly focusing on its two ears. His face immediately revealed a solemn expression. He inwardly cursed, realizing his luck had truly reached an extraordinary level.

He merely wanted to test the power of his sixth-level cultivation and see what he was capable of. He didn't expect to encounter this behemoth on the outskirts of the forest. Moreover, judging by its appearance, it seemed to have been attracted by the commotion caused by the shaking tree.

This creature was not an ordinary bear. Its physique was similar to that of a regular bear, but it had a pair of fox-like ears, making it a notorious wild beast known as the Fox Bear. This species not only possessed the strength of a bear but also the cunning and agility of a fox.

When these two traits combined, the power they unleashed was not to be underestimated. Even the overlords deep in the mountains would think twice before provoking such a creature.

However, Fox Bears typically lived deep in the mountains, so it was unfortunate that one had wandered to the edge of the forest and encountered Zhou Yi. He couldn't help but sigh and lament his misfortune.

Slightly crouching down, Zhou Yi didn't turn and flee; instead, he calmly confronted the creature. He had just broken through to the sixth level of internal energy, and his confidence was soaring. Although he didn't want to provoke this mountain tyrant, he wasn't particularly afraid if it brought trouble upon itself.

The Fox Bear also seemed to sense that the diminutive human before it was not easy to deal with. It didn't immediately pounce but started circling Zhou Yi in a leisurely manner.

Observing its clumsy and slow movements, Zhou Yi sneered inwardly.

Indeed, Fox Bears were intelligent. When encountering humans or other wild beasts, they initially behaved like typical bears, with their sluggish movements lulling people into complacency. But if one were to relax their vigilance, they would soon realize the true speed of a Fox Bear when it launched a sudden attack.
