Star Core War

"Roar... Roar... Roar..."    

The Fierce Ox stood still and roared crazily at Qin Tian. Its eyes had been wounded. Blood kept flowing out from the eye, but the blood stimulated its ferocity even more. The Savage Beast had a strong life force, but this little injury didn't affect its strength much. It roared furiously and rushed towards Qin Tian at high speed. * Splash! * Dust filled the sky.    

Although the Fierce Ox's body was huge and it wasn't nimble enough, its speed wasn't slow. In the blink of an eye, it had already closed in on Qin Tian.    

Qin Tian looked at the Fierce Ox rushing towards him. He knew that he couldn't let it touch him. The Fierce Ox was extremely powerful and his body was very strong. If he were to be touched by it, he might lose his combat strength.    

At this critical moment, Qin Tian didn't panic. He calmly looked at the rapidly approaching Fierce Ox and quickly circulated his martial skill, Combat Step Technique.    

The second style of the Battle Steps Technique, Flash Step.    

Qin Tian flashed to the side in an instant, leaving behind a shadow on the spot. The Fierce Ox brushed past Qin Tian's side.    

Once the movement technique, Battle Steps Technique, was activated, Qin Tian felt his own spirit energy being depleted again.    

"Bang!"    

The Fierce Ox hit a big tree not far behind Qin Tian, and the big tree was broken in half at the waist.    

Qin Tian looked at the broken tree and thought with lingering fear, Luckily I dodged quickly. If it was hit, I don't know what the consequences would be. I don't want to try this.    

Although the Fierce Ox knocked down the tree, it did not suffer any injuries. When the Fierce Ox saw that Qin Tian was still standing in front of it, without thinking, it breathed heavily and rushed towards Qin Tian again.    

At this time, Qin Tian realized that the Battle Steps Technique skill was too useful. At this critical moment, it made him like a fish in water, allowing him to move very nimbly. The second time, Qin Tian easily dodged the Fierce Ox's attack.    

"Bang!"    

The second time Qin Tian dodged, he still had some strength left to counterattack. He punched the Fierce Ox's body. However, Qin Tian felt as if his fist had hit steel. His fist was trembling in pain. The Fierce Ox did not have any reaction. Only now did Qin Tian understand how thick the Fierce Ox's skin was.    

This punch had angered the Fierce Ox, causing its speed to increase even more.    

Qin Tian also kept circulating his martial skills.    

The second movement, Flash Step.    

The third movement, Twisting Step.    

The fourth style, Teng step.    

...    

Qin Tian kept dodging and using his movement technique, Battle Steps Technique, constantly. He kept using the technique, Battle Steps Technique, which made Qin Tian more and more familiar with this technique, making him more and more familiar with it.    

Qin Tian thought, Fierce Ox is a good sparring partner. I keep dodging. It also made him more and more proficient in this martial technique, and his understanding of it also became deeper and deeper. Indeed, it was better to improve in battle. This was absolutely different from how he felt when he practiced alone.    

However, the frequent use of martial skills also caused the Spiritual Qi in Qin Tian's body to gradually decrease. Qin Tian knew. If this continued, he would fall into a dangerous situation. If he did not change... The spiritual energy in his body would eventually run out. Now, as the amount of spiritual energy in his body continued to decrease... Qin Tian felt that his body was getting more and more tired.    

The Savage Beast's endurance was needless to say. It was definitely stronger than him. His fist landed on the Fierce Ox's body. If it wasn't for the fact that his fist landed on a critical part of the Fierce Ox, it wouldn't have been able to cause much damage to it. Both sides had been in a stalemate for a long time, so when the other Savage Beast were drawn over... At that time, it would be even more dangerous, not to mention that the sky was getting darker and darker. The danger was also getting bigger and bigger. It seemed like they could only retreat.    

Thinking of this, Qin Tian circulated his spiritual Qi at high speed, and the star core in his body continuously provided him with spiritual Qi.    

Fifth style of the Battle Steps Technique, Shift.    

Qin Tian didn't use the fifth style, because he knew that this style would make the spiritual energy in his body flow faster.    

Qin Tian could feel that when he used this move... The spiritual energy in his body would flow out very quickly, and in an instant, one-fifth of the spiritual energy would be consumed. However, the effect was also very good. In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed twenty to thirty meters away. Taking advantage of this distance, Qin Tian quickly broke away from the Fierce Ox and disappeared into the dense forest. The Savage Beast behind him could only watch Qin Tian disappear in vain.    

"Roar..."    

The Fierce Ox roared at the disappearing Qin Tian with unwillingness.    

...    

At night, Qin Tian was sitting in the cave. He took out some dry food to fill his stomach, then sat cross-legged on the ground.    

He recalled today's battle and felt that he had gained a lot. He was not injured and kept dodging, which increased his martial skill proficiency by a lot.    

However, the damage he dealt to the Fierce Ox was limited. Other than the fact that his first punch landed unexpectedly on the Fierce Ox's eyes, if he injured it, there would be no more chances for him to do so in the future. The Fierce Ox's skin was rough and thick. If his fist hadn't hit the important part of its body... The other parts of the Fierce Ox wouldn't be able to cause too much damage to it, and the latter parts of the Fierce Ox would also know how to protect these important parts of its body. It didn't even have a chance to attack.    

He recalled the gains and losses he had obtained from today's battle.    

Qin Tian knew that the Savage Beast's body was very strong, and the Fierce Ox's body was considered very strong within the One-star Savage Beast. At this time, how could a martial cultivator kill the Savage Beast better?    

Qin Tian couldn't help but think, if there was a weapon in hand at this time, even if the weapon wasn't at the level of the Soul-soldier... Then he wouldn't be in such a passive situation today. However, the damage of a low level weapon to a Savage Beast was too weak. Even he couldn't afford to buy a powerful weapon, let alone a Soul-soldier with such a high price. It wasn't something that he could have right now. However, now wasn't the time for self-pity. Although he didn't have the Soul-soldier, however, these things were still external objects. Today, he could not do anything to the Fierce Ox. He should be looking for the reason from his own body. The main reason was that his strength wasn't enough. If he was really strong, why would he need to dodge so carefully? He had killed the Savage Beast with a single punch. Right now, his priority was to work hard to increase his strength. This way, he would be able to face the Savage Beast more calmly next time.    

Thinking of this, Qin Tian could not help but strengthen his conviction to become a strong man.    

Qin Tian had used up most of the spiritual energy in his body today. He felt very tired right now. After all, after such a long battle, his nerves had been tight. He could not relax for even a second, and his body condition had become worse. Now, he only had about ten to twenty percent of the spiritual energy left in his body, and he had consumed a lot of it. He started cultivating to replenish the spiritual energy he had consumed.    

He silently recited the Tao Te Ching in his heart.    

"Dao can be Dao, very Dao; name can be called, very famous. The Unnamed Beginning of Heaven and Earth; The Mother of All Things..."    

Following Qin Tian's silent chanting, Qin Tian felt the Spiritual Qi around him become unusually dense. His affinity with the Spiritual Qi kept increasing, and the wandering Spiritual Qi in the world gathered around him more and more.    

Qin Tian immediately circulated the Light Cloud Art skill, following the circulation of the Light Cloud Art. The spiritual energy around Qin Tian's body rushed into his body impatiently. A large amount of spiritual energy rushed into Qin Tian's body. Qin Tian felt as if every cell in his body was cheering. Today, because of the battle, he had lost a large amount of his spiritual energy. Now that his body had absorbed the spiritual energy, his body had been replenished very well.    

The Spiritual Qi rushed into his body, and his meridians contained a large amount of Spiritual Qi. Today, he had been using martial techniques to cause fatigue in his meridians, and it had been nourished very well by the Spiritual Qi. Through the Spiritual Qi, his meridians had become stronger.    

Qin Tian guided the spirit energy in his body to rush into his mind, and the two primary cores kept spinning. It continuously absorbed the spiritual energy. The three Small Stars beside the primary core also kept absorbing the spiritual energy, replenishing it. He had used up too much spirit energy today, and now he was absorbing spirit energy. Qin Tian felt an indescribable joy in his body, like a dried fish returning to water.    

Too much spiritual energy surrounded Qin Tian's body, as if it had added a layer of fog to his surroundings.    

Qin Tian kept absorbing the spiritual energy, replenishing his own consumption.
