Chapter 1438 - 739: Confidence Stems from Strength
...
Confidence comes from strength. This perfectly describes Qingshui. Looking forward with hope, he seems to be able to gaze into the mist-shrouded time and envision the future. He wants a happy life, and this has become his goal.
Suddenly, Qingshui felt a piercing glare. The feeling of being watched was so sharp, one must know, after he broke through the Second Layer Heaven of the ancient enhancement technique, Qingshui’s perception level increased dramatically. Although Qingshui couldn’t be 100% sure of where the glare was coming from, he could roughly sense its position and distance.
"South, 30 degrees to the left, behind the green trees, about the width of two people." This is what Qingshui could sense. However, he couldn’t determine whether the glare was from a beast or a human...
Qingshui didn’t even move a muscle, his hands clenched into fists, pointing directly at where he sensed. He didn’t dare move casually, nor did he underestimate the enemy. He knew that if it was a beast, then the 30m distance could be ignored, as it could leap over it immediately! Based on his current strength and the pebble tightly gripped in his hand, Qingshui hoped he could solve this problem. He didn’t know why, but his instincts warned him that whatever was hiding in the tree was very powerful.
Time passed, and the pebble in Qingshui’s fist was already drenched with sweat. He knew he couldn’t let this continue, for if the enemy suddenly launched an attack, it would be disastrous due to his unrest.
Under the setting sun, Qingshui focused on the shadows of the forest trees. He could see a beastly shape appearing overhead. The shape vaguely resembled a wolf.
Qingshui was quite certain of his guess; only wolves would be so cunning and patient to wait for the right time to ambush him.
Energy injected into his body, Qingshui wanted to lure the wolf out.
"Show yourself!" Qingshui shouted, hoping to distract the wolf.
Qingshui didn’t care if his distraction was successful, transferring the energy gathered in his left hand to the pebble in his left foot, he flung the stone at lightning speed, aiming for the shadow of the Wolf Head.
"Bang!" A stream of dust rose up, forming a cloud of dust in the impact area.
At the same moment, the giant shadow suddenly sprang forward fiercely.
Even though Qingshui was mentally prepared, he was still stunned by the gigantic creature in front of him. This wasn’t just a big wolf... it was a Golden Werewolf! Its body was 3m long and 2m high, its gigantic frame seemed unbound by the laws of gravity because its agility was incredible. Its entire body emitted an intent to kill, and it was filled with violent power!
Those eyes were filled with madness, unexpectedly also containing a hint of caution. It no longer waited, flying towards Qingshui with the wind.
"Is this a wolf? Isn’t it too large, its body bigger than a water buffalo, fighting it would be terrifying." Qingshui shouted. Considering the animals in his past life’s zoo, those former kings of beasts, tigers, and lions, absolutely couldn’t match this Golden Wolf.
Qingshui was very afraid, after all, this was his first time in a life-and-death situation, although he knew his current body had enough strength, his opponent weighed about 500 pounds and possessed amazing speed and power.
He retreated, cleverly picking up a pebble from the ground, hiding it in his right hand, hoping that maybe by employing hidden weapon techniques, he could surprise the wolf and kill it without fighting it directly.
Faced with enormous danger, Qiong Shui’s mind was flooded with countless thoughts. He could see his grandfather, his mother. He could also see his uncle training the third generation disciples in Platis’ courtyard, yelling loudly for them not to be afraid while they were in disputes. "That’s it. Though he had never fought in a life-and-death situation before, Qing Shui knew he must remain calm, he couldn’t let fear control him but must instead use fear to enhance the force of his strike! With this in mind, he no longer hesitated, executing the "Lonely Fist" while retreating.

That earlier epiphany gave Qingshui a profound insight into the "Lonely Fist", reaching a state of gripping an opponent. On one hand, his internal conflicts intensified, he feared the werewolf’s strength, but he wanted to test the insights gained from direct confrontation with the Golden Werewolf!
"Bang bang bang!"
Qingshui nearly flawlessly executed the "Lonely Fist" move, quickly contacting the werewolf’s two muscular forelimbs three times, even taking the opportunity to strike its head while it was distracted. Qing Shui broke contact with a frown, his arm was actually numbed by the impact!
As the saying goes, [wolf = iron head, bronze tail, tofu back]. At this moment, Qingshui knew the iron head part was true. However, the saying that a wolf’s weakness is their back is not the case with this Golden Werewolf. Its back was as hard as a water buffalo’s!
The enormous Golden Werewolf also paused its attack temporarily to reassess Qingshui. It had initially appeared near this area because it wanted to eat a Black Hawk, and the Werewolf never expected a human to appear in its presence, and even more incredibly, a human actually gave it a sense of danger. Hence, it decided to ambush Qingshui.
