Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Madness

Awroo!

The low, abrupt howl made Gu Sheng instinctively hold his breath, not daring to make a sound, secretly hoping that the wild wolf had just wandered into his small yard by mistake.

However.

The sound of the wolf's claws scraping against the dirt grew louder and louder, causing Gu Sheng's pupils to gradually contract.

He felt an unexplainable fear toward this fierce beast, a fear he had never confronted either in this life or his previous.

Gu Sheng made an effort to suppress his breathing, relaxing his muscles bit by bit to avoid diminishing his strength.

He figured it out.

This wolf must have followed a scent here, and the village's rescue wouldn't arrive anytime soon. He could only rely on himself!

Gu Sheng tightened his grip on the chopping wood knife.

Although the knife wasn't particularly sharp, it was heavy. Right now, his greatest asset was his mastery of the Great Achievement Realm in chopping wood—his combat abilities would significantly increase with the knife in hand.

The wolf continued to approach; Gu Sheng could even hear its heavy breathing clearly.

He turned his head and quickly peeked through the crack in the door, his eyes flashing with shock.

Now that the wolf was closer, Gu Sheng realized that although it looked about the same size as a normal wolf, its eyes exhibited an abnormal color—green pupils mixed with a dense blood-red hue. Its mouth was stretched wide, revealing sharp teeth with thick, foul-smelling saliva dripping down.

Hiss!

Gu Sheng's heart trembled, and his fear deepened. This beast didn't look like any ordinary wild animal.

But there was no time to think.

The wild wolf had already locked its eyes on the worn wooden door. Given the wolf's body size, the wooden door certainly couldn't withstand a full-force charge.

Gu Sheng forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart.

Though his arms trembled slightly, he gripped the wood knife tightly, a manic glint beginning to appear in his eyes.

The world doesn't want to let humans live; one can only go mad!

Awroo~!

The wild wolf flared its nostrils, seemingly confirming there was enticing prey inside the house.

Its sturdy hind legs slowly bent, and its green-and-blood-colored pupils remained emotionless as it suddenly launched a charge!

Swish!

The wild wolf moved with lightning speed.

Its gray fur was inconspicuous in the night sky, and it violently crashed into the wooden door.

BAM!

With its significant weight combined with the impact of its high-speed charge, the wooden door instantly shattered into pieces, sending wood splinters flying.

Gu Sheng only saw a gray figure burst into the room, tumbling to the ground along with the door's broken remnants. It was then that Gu Sheng got a clear look at it.

The gray fur was stained with mottled blood. The beast's body wasn't particularly large, its shoulder height about equal to Gu Sheng's thigh.

The wolf stumbled upright, shaking its head, still somewhat dazed.

Strike while it's weak!

Though he didn't know why this wolf seemed less intelligent, it was Gu Sheng's only chance. Otherwise, if the wolf recovered, in such a narrow space Gu Sheng wouldn't be able to dodge, and a dead end would be inevitable!

In this life-threatening moment, Gu Sheng's eyes took on a manic glint, and he let out a deep shout to boost his courage.

In his sight, the wild wolf resembled a piece of wood.

Days of chopping wood had ingrained the motion into muscle memory; the skill had become instinct, and his power was effortless.

With mastery in chopping wood at the Great Achievement Realm, he could channel strength through his whole body!

Though Gu Sheng was just a fourteen-year-old boy with limited arm strength, once his full-body power was concentrated, it became formidable, surpassing the strike strength of an average adult.

Facing the wild wolf, Gu Sheng's grip on the wood knife steadied, his fear and panic unconsciously dissipating.

Gazing at the slowly rising "wolf-wood."
