Three Days Later
----------------------------------------
Having spent the last few days familiarizing herself with her new techniques, Aetheria felt confident in her ability to hunt some of the beasts on the island so that she could eat. She had foraged for plants the past few days but now she was craving some meat in her diet. Before she went out to hunt, she decided to ask the system about the island. "Hey system, what's the weakest monster on the island?"
The weakest monster on the island is the Blackthorn Wolf. It travels in packs with others of its kind and has an average strength around the 8th stage of Mortal Realm.
Upon hearing that, Aetheria decided to check her status one more time before she set out to hunt the wolves.

Over the course of these three days, Aetheria managed to get 85% of the way to the middle stage of Foundation Realm, only meditating to recover her Qi for more practice. If she had put her efforts into meditation instead of just using it to recover her Qi, she might have already been at the Core Formation Realm!
After leaving the grove where she had first woken up, Aetheria climbed to the top of a tree, trying to take a look around. She noticed that there was a wolf very close nearby. She jumped down from the tree and stealthily ran over to where the wolf had been. As soon as she made it over to where she saw the wolf, she hid in its blind spot. Using a new ability that she had used the system to develop, she scanned the wolf.

Race: Blackthorn Wolf
Cultivation: 7th Stage Mortal Realm
----------------------------------------
After waiting for a bit for it to let its guard down, she jumped out from the bushes and kicked it in the side, sending it crashing to the ground whilst yelping in pain. Aetheria jumped over to where it had landed and pinned it to the ground. Then she began to beat it, wanting it to cry out and bring its pack over to her. As soon as it howled like she wanted it to, she punched it in the side of the head, killing it instantly.
Received 70 System Points!
"System points? What are those?" Then she remembered the system mentioning that it had a shop function. She decided she would take a look at the store once she had finished her hunt. She ripped chunks out of the wolf's flesh, then roasted them over a fire as quickly as she could. Aetheria ate the meat, trusting her body to stop any bacteria from getting her. Then she heard the sound she'd been eagerly waiting for. She put out the fire and then climbed up a tree to hide. As the rest of the wolfpack trodded into the clearing, Aetheria sat above them, invisible until the moment they would look up. She took the opportunity to scan the wolfpack and noticed that there were five 7th stages 2 8th stages and an early stage Foundation Realm wolf.
Smiling in anticipation, she jumped down from the tree, landing on the head of one of the 8th stage wolves and snapping its neck. She quickly pivoted to the side and punched the other 8th stage wolf in the side of its skull, snapping its neck as well. Sensing the Foundation Realm wolf pouncing towards her, she quickly turned and kicked it right back in the opposite direction, sending it flying into the bushes. Aetheria then set her sights on the five 7th stage wolves, attacking them swiftly and snapping their necks and caving their skulls brutally. Having dealt with the last of the normal wolves, she turned her attention over to where the pack leader was getting up off the ground. Seeing its dead packmates, it growled and then charged at Aetheria, desperate to get revenge at any cost. Seeing this, Aetheria dodged to the side easily and stomped down on her opponent's head. The wolf, blinded by rage, was unable to see this in and was kicked down into the ground. Aetheria frowned when she noticed it was still alive, and then ended the wolves' life with a swift punch to the head.
Smiling, Aetheria sat down on the blood-stained ground. She looked around at the beast corpses and remembered that she had gotten points for the first kill but couldn't remember seeing notifications about the rest of them. "Hey system, where are my points for these kills?"
I turned off notifications because you were in combat. You can check your notifications whenever you like.
Pleased to learn this fact, Aetheria opened her notifications and surveyed them.

Satisfied with her first day of hunting, Aetheria gathered all of the wolf corpses and head back to what she had just decided was to be her home base.
