Chapter 9 The First Battle
An hour later, Mu Zi had reaped a lot of rewards.

Five first-grade spiritual medicines and three second-grade spiritual medicines.

"Unfortunately, there is still no third-grade spiritual medicine."

Although a little disappointed, one should not be ungrateful. Mu Zi planned to go back. It was getting dark now. If she didn't go back, Mu Yun and the others would be worried.

Just as she was about to return along the same path, she felt another wave of vibration on her forehead. This time the wave was stronger than before and could be detected without careful analysis.

"Go and see."

Using the Lingbo Step, Mu Zi quickly moved through the woods and finally saw the target after climbing over a small hill.

A strange little grass was surrounded by several trees. The grass leaves were covered with fiery red lines, emitting a strong energy fluctuation.

The third-grade elixir, Fiery Sun Grass.

Next to the sun grass, there is a vine-like plant with a fiery red fruit at the end.

Flame Fruit is also a third-grade elixir.

Two third-grade spiritual medicines that had not been found the entire afternoon suddenly appeared at the same time.

Before Mu Zi could be happy, a majestic beast roar came, shaking the nearby forest leaves. A huge beast revealed its true face and came in front of her.

It was a wild beast with a gray-brown body and a body shape like a lion. The most eye-catching feature was the red mane on its neck. As the beast roared, the mane stood up like steel, looking very imposing.

"Red Lion."

The red lion is an extremely ferocious beast, and is extremely difficult to deal with. When it grows up, it even has the potential to transform into a demon beast. If it successfully transforms, it will become a flaming lion, a demon beast that is no less powerful than a fire python tiger.

Fortunately, judging from its size, the red lion in front of him was not yet an adult.

Even so, it was still very difficult to deal with. Even someone who had reached the sixth level of body tempering and had generated energy within their body might not be able to deal with it.

As if realizing that the villain in front of him was not easy to deal with, the red lion stared at Mu Zi ferociously and roared from his throat, trying to drive her away.

Its ignorant instinct told it that as long as it grew up, it could devour the two plants in front of it and gain a bloodline transformation. Before that, it couldn't let other people or beasts covet them.

Looking at the beast that was taller than her even on all fours, Mu Zi felt a little solemn.

In fact, she didn't need to fight the red lion in front of her. She could just use the Lingbo Step to directly pick two third-grade spiritual medicines.

The third-grade body movement martial arts is laughing at you?

Even though this red lion was very powerful, it could only eat dust behind her.

However, Mu Zi had never practiced in real combat since he started practicing. It was a rare opportunity to meet a good opponent, so Mu Zi was a little excited.

"Big lion, play with me."

There is a hint of arrogance in the clear and lively voice that cannot be refused.

As if sensing Mu Zi's hostility, the red lion growled, pounced towards her, raised one of its front paws and slapped her on the head.

Mu Zi took a mysterious step and avoided the powerful attack. The red lion's attack hit the ground, raising a lot of dust.

The red lion's attack missed, and when he was about to attack again, he found that he had lost sight of the enemy.

"Pah pah pah pah." Nine crisp sounds were heard, and a figure appeared behind it silently.

"It's rude to come back without reciprocating, so you can take a punch from me."

Mu Zi let out a delicate cry and punched the red lion on the back of the head. The red lion had no time to react before being hit.

"boom!"

After a muffled sound, Mu Zi jumped back and observed the effect of the punch.

The red lion just staggered and then stabilized its body. Apart from some pain, it seemed that it did not suffer much actual damage.

Mu Zi's eyes narrowed: "He's really thick-skinned." After suffering a loss, the red lion seemed to be angered by the villain in front of it. It roared and attacked Mu Zi frantically.

It pounced, bit, slapped, swept and bumped with great force, stirring up a cloud of dust.

With a calm look, Mu Zi dodged all the attacks of the red lion with ease. Her movements were full of beauty, like a butterfly dancing around a tall beast.

For a moment, the tall red lion was completely helpless against her.

"Try this."

Suddenly, Mu Zi made a sharp turn, and his figure became ethereal. The Red Lion's moves became old, and he stumbled and lost his balance.

"It's now!"

An astonishing light burst out of Mu Zi's eyes, and she lowered her body slightly and instantly appeared under the red lion.

"Tong back fist!"

This time she did not try again, and instead used all her strength to perform the Tongbei Fist. Nine strikes combined into one, hitting the beast's belly heavily.

"Ouch!"

The red lion roared in pain. It was obvious that Mu Zi's attack this time really hurt this big guy.

Avoiding the red lion's counterattack again, Mu Zi moved his body and floated behind it like a falling leaf, and punched it in the abdomen again.

Feeling the pain, the red lion turned around suddenly, but it lost Mu Zi again.

In this way, Mu Zi dodged and moved, making the beast in front of him spin around. From time to time, he punched the red lion's vulnerable abdomen continuously, causing it considerable damage.

However, a beast is still a beast after all. After suffering a series of losses, it became even more violent and ferocious. Although it couldn't even touch the corner of Mu Zi's clothes, it continued to attack, as if it would not stop until it tore the opponent in front of it apart.

Mu Zi was gradually annoyed by Chi Shi's counterattack. She was anxious to go home for dinner and didn't want to continue wasting time with the other party.

This kind of beast bullies the weak and fears the strong. The reason why it is fighting to the death now is that its injuries are not serious, which makes it mistakenly believe that it can drive away the enemy.

"Looks like I have to give you a hard time!"

Her eyes became serious and Mu Zi launched her strongest attack at the moment.

"Crack, snap, snap, snap!"

She threw four punches in a short period of time, each punch had nine strikes. The four attacks hit the same spot in succession, and the destructive power generated was close to that of a third-grade martial art.

After this blow, the red lion was finally seriously injured and fell to the ground with a wail. It tried several times but failed to stand up again.

After moving his arms, Mu Zi's arms felt a little sore, but he finally defeated the beast in front of him.

"Haha, the strength of the sixth level of body tempering is just like this."

Although the beast in front of him was about as powerful as the sixth level of Body Tempering, it was much more difficult to deal with than a human.

You know, this red lion has thick skin and flesh, and it took countless attacks from her before it fell. If it were a human who had reached the sixth level of body tempering, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for so long.

Although humans have wisdom and are more flexible than beasts that rely only on instinct, this flexibility is insignificant in front of Mu Zi's Lingbo Step. To her, humans are easier to deal with.

Ignore the red lion lying on the ground and wailing. This guy just temporarily lost his fighting ability. After it recovers for a while, it will be fully recovered.

Mu Zi took a step forward and came several feet away. Under the eyes of the red lion, he took away the scorching sun grass and the flame fruit.

"With these spiritual medicines, I can finally break through to the sixth level of Body Tempering."

"I really want to see the power of Yuanli."

Mu Zi was somewhat looking forward to it.

　I have received the contract and can invest with confidence. Please read on!
