nYuan and Emma finally arrived at the spot where the wolves were gathered. The wolves were large and fierce, with sharp teeth and piercing eyes that seemed to glow in the dim light of the forest.

nYuan could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he assessed the situation. “There are quite a few of them,” he murmured to Emma, his eyes never leaving the wolves.

nEmma surveyed the pack of wolves before them, taking in their numbers and assessing the situation. Emma quickly counted the wolves and turned to Yuan.

n“There’s about 20 of them,” she said, “but I don’t think it’ll be too difficult for us to handle them with our level of cultivation.”

nYuan nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed on the wolves. “I agree,” he said, his voice low and steady. ｂ𝚍𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｎｔ

n“But we still need to be careful. They may not be the strongest opponents we’ve faced, but they can still be dangerous if we let our guard down.”

nEmma nodded, her grip tightening on her sword. “I know,” she said. “We’ll stay focused and work together.”

nWith a shared nod of understanding, Yuan and Emma stepped forward to face the pack of wolves.

nYuan drew his sword from its scabbard, the metal glinting in the sunlight filtering through the trees. He turned to Emma and quickly formulated a plan of attack.

n“Emma, you come at them from the right,” he said, his voice steady and controlled. “I’ll come in from the left. Let’s catch them by surprise.”

nEmma nodded in agreement, a fierce determination in her eyes. Without hesitation, she charged towards the pack of wolves from the right without being noticed by them, her movements fluid and graceful.

n“Bammm!” She unleashed her ‘Iron Palm Technique’, striking the first wolf with a powerful blow that killed the wolf immediately.

nMeanwhile, Yuan made his way toward the pack from the left, his sword at the ready. He moved quickly and silently, his movements almost fluid.

n“Slash!” As he approached the pack, he struck out with his sword and used his sword technique ‘One sword One Strike’, taking down two wolves with a single blow.

n“Awww! Grrrrrr!” The wolves were caught off guard by the sudden attack, and they scrambled to respond.

nAs the wolves charged at them, Yuan and Emma stood their ground with calmness in their eyes. Yuan said to Emma, “Be careful, they will charge at us, but don’t let them get too close. We need to finish this quickly and return to the Hunter’s Association.”

nEmma nodded and replied, “I’m ready, let’s take them down!” She then charged towards the wolves with her ‘Iron Palm Technique’.

nYuan followed her lead and used his ‘One Sword One Strike’ technique to strike down the wolves one by one.

nThe wolves were strong and agile, but Yuan and Emma’s cultivation was superior. They moved gracefully, dodging the wolves’ attacks while counterattacking with deadly precision. With each strike of their fists and swords, a wolf fell to the ground, its lifeless body left behind.

nAs the fight continued, the wolves’ howls of rage and pain filled the forest, but Yuan and Emma remained calm and focused. Emma’s palms struck like thunder, crushing the wolves’ bones and sending them flying. Yuan’s sword flashed like lightning, slicing through the wolves’ flesh and cutting them down with ease.

nDespite the wolves’ numbers, Yuan and Emma showed no signs of fatigue or hesitation. They moved with perfect coordination, covering each other’s backs and taking down the wolves with efficient teamwork.

nAfter a few minutes of intense battle, the last wolf fell to the ground with a thud. Yuan and Emma stood victorious, breathing heavily but unscathed.

nDing!

nYuan ignored the system’s notification and sheathed his sword and said, “That was easier than I expected.”

nEmma nodded and replied, “Yes, we made a great team. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

nYuan smiled and said, “Likewise. We should gather the proof of subjugation and return to the Hunter’s Association.”

nAfter they searched the area and found the necessary proof of subjugation, a wolf fang, Emma let out a satisfactory smile on her face and spoke, “Now that we have gathered all the necessary proofs, we should head back to the town.”

n“Indeed, let’s head back and submit…” As she was about to finish his sentence, Yuan stopped halfway.

nHe heard the birds screeching not far away, a sure sign that something was amiss. Without hesitation, he activated his ‘Divine Sense’, a skill he had honed over years of training.

nEmma looked at him, sensing the urgency in his tone. “What is it?” she asked.

nYuan saw a huge shadowy figure hurtling towards them at an astonishing speed. He then said to Emma, “Something’s coming our way, be careful!”

nSuddenly, a huge wolf, standing at least six feet tall and covered in gray fur with sharp claws and fangs, appeared in front of Yuan and Emma. The wolf looked at the dead wolves on the ground and let out a small growl.

nYuan turned to Emma and asked, “Is this the leader of the wolves?”

nEmma shook her head and replied, “Indeed, this is a Greater Wolf that has evolved after condensing a mana core. It’s considerably stronger than the ones we have slaughtered so far.”

/No>

nYuan’s eyes widened with excitement as he gazed at the Greater Wolf in front of him. He had never seen a monster like this before.

nHe chuckled and turned to Emma, “This may be far stronger than the ones we have slaughtered, but it’s still not a challenge for me.”

nEmma nodded in agreement, “I know you can do this, Yuan. I believe in you.”

nYuan took a deep breath and stepped forward towards the Greater Wolf, his sword held firmly in his right hand.

n“Grrrrr!” The wolf snarled and lunged toward him, but Yuan was quick to react, dodging to the side and delivering a swift strike with his sword.

nThe wolf howled in pain and fury, its eyes fixed on Yuan as it prepared to attack again. Yuan remained calm and focused, waiting for the right moment to strike.

n“Playtime is over…” With a sudden burst of speed, he charged forward and sliced his sword through the wolf’s neck, delivering a fatal blow.

nSlash!!

nThud!

nThe Greater Wolf fell to the ground, its body twitching as its life slipped away. Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of satisfaction at having defeated such a formidable opponent.

nWhile fighting the Greater Wolf without using any sword technique, his understanding of the way of the sword has reached a new height, and his sword skill has sharpened significantly.

n‘Sword Aura?’

nYuan raised his eyebrows at the system notification.

n‘I-Isn’t that the thing that most sword masters use? Did I become a sword master now?’ Yuan thought as he was surprised by the term.

nYou haven’t become a sword master or anything! It meant you now have the requirement to learn ‘Sword Aura. Nora explained.

n‘So that’s how it is.’ he thought.

nAfter that he turned to Emma with a grin, “Told you it wasn’t a challenge for me.”

nEmma smiled at Yuan and said, “I knew you could do it quite easily. You’re quite skilled with a sword.” She then proceeded to store the Greater Wolf’s body in her storage ring.

nYuan watched as Emma stored the body and asked, “Why are you keeping its body? What are you going to do with it?”

nEmma replied, “Greater Wolf body parts are quite valuable as it’s a ‘C’ rank monster. Its fur can be used to make luxury attire, and its teeth and claws can be used to make weapons. We can sell them for a good price.”

nYuan nodded, impressed by Emma’s knowledge. “That’s smart,” he said. “I never would have thought of that.”

nWith the mission accomplished, the two of them made their way back to the town. The sun was starting to set, casting a warm glow over the landscape.

nYuan felt a sense of satisfaction knowing that they had made the town a little safer by taking care of the wolf problem.

nHe turned to Emma and said, “Thanks for having my back out there. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

nEmma smiled and replied, “No problem, Yuan. We are lovers after all!”

nAs they walked, Yuan and Emma could see the town wall in the distance. They knew they were getting closer to their destination. As they approached, they noticed a group of hunters returning from their mission. The hunters were covered in dirt and blood, and they looked exhausted but satisfied.

nYuan and Emma approached the hunters and greeted them. “Hello there,” Yuan said. “How did your mission go?”

nOne of the hunters replied, “It went well. We took care of a group of goblins that were attacking a nearby village. It was tough, but we managed to get the job done.”

nEmma nodded in approval, “Well done. We just finished taking care of a group of wolves on the outskirts of the forest.”

nThe hunters looked impressed. “A group of wolves? That’s no easy feat,” one of them said.

nYuan grinned, feeling a sense of pride. “It was no match for us,” he said confidently.

nYuan and Emma didn’t reveal anything about the Greater Wolf to these Hunters.

nThe hunters chuckled and congratulated them on their successful mission.
