"Are you okay little friend?" (Yue Feng)

"You fucking dragged me by my hand and run at a fuckin-who-knows-what-speed it is and dislocated my fucking shoulder! Do you think I'm okay!" (Leo)

Leo rubbed his dislocated shoulder and complained at Yue Feng.

"But you could easily heal right? Little friend?" (Yue Feng)

Yue Feng said with a kind smile like a grandpa smiling at his grandson.

[Fuck!]

Leo immediately cast a healing spell in his shoulder and healed it in no time.

[This old man is insane! Where did he get that strength with that slim body?! I don't even feel magic circulate in his body!]

"Who are you old man?! There's no way a 'cultivator' has that physical strength!" (Leo)

"It's because I simultaneously 'cultivate' my body and soul!" (Yue Feng)

Yue Feng said with great pride, while patting his chest.

"Cultivate body and soul???? You're not cultivating plants?" (Leo)

"Oh. Of course I did. I have a medicine garden back in my home. Are you interested in becoming an alchemist? I can teach you too. If you become my disciple." (Yue Feng)

[Hah? Alchemist? Something's off. Did I misunderstand something? But he's an alchemist. I heard alchemists are eccentric and know a lot of stuff... maybe that's the reason he has that strength? Damn. I'm confused!]

"Haaah... I think I'm misunderstanding some things, and I don't know if we're on the same page, old man. But I don't plan on becoming your disciple." (Leo)

"Hoho. No rush, little friend. You might change your mind later so don't refuse for now. Hoho. So what are we gonna do? There's a lot of monsters rushing here because you shouted earlier. You might catch some pets now." (Yue Feng)

Leo got startled and immediately used his search magic. He could feel 3 magic beasts in 3 different directions approaching him at fast speed. He immediately panicked.

"Fuck! Where dead! Old man let's run! We can't kill those three!" (Leo)

But before he got his chance to run.

A 5 feet leopard with ferocious teeth appeared in front of him. Then another huge red beetle the size of a man appeared at his left side. He could feel the other one was waiting in the darkness, not revealing itself.

[Shit!]

"Hoho. We're surrounded. Okay little friend. What pet do you want? An insect or a cat?" (Yue Feng)

Yue Feng laughed as if his life wasn't in danger. Hearing this, Leo could really now confirm that this old man has brain damage. Cold sweat appeared in his back.

"Old man. Can you do me a favor? Can you act as bait and die then let me escape?" (Leo)

"Hoho! What a ruthless kid! I like that!" (Yue Feng)

[This old man really is crazy!]

But even though Leo said that. He didn't run.

"Hey old man. Handle that beetle, and I'll handle this cat. Just be careful. There's still one lying around the corner." (Leo)

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"Okay. Then let's go!" (Yue Feng)

Yue Feng suddenly vanished on the spot and appeared in front of the beetle then grabbed its horn then threw it in the air!

Yue Feng jumped higher than the beetle to kick it straight to the ground. But the beetle suddenly opened its wings and regained balance. It glared at Yue Feng, then spit some green liquid!

Yue Feng's intuition told him that he needed to avoid that at any cost. So he suddenly tighten his fist, then punch the air!

Boom!

A sonic boom rang. A high pressure air shot out where Yue Feng punched. The green liquid coming towards him suddenly burst. The beetle who was already assured that this person is dead suddenly lost its balance. Something hit its face then it lost consciousness.

The beetle was blown away because of the impact then flew for a few kilometers before falling down.

As for Yue Feng, he too got blown because of the rebound force. He landed on a nearby tree and with his burnt clothes totally destroyed.

"Haah~ this is really too disappointing. I couldn't even suppress a mere insect in 2 moves. I was even blown by my own attack!" (Yue Feng)

Yue Feng sighed in disappointment.

He finished his battle in a very short time and looked at Leo who's fighting the leopard.

---

When Yue Feng rushed towards the beetle. Leo rushed towards the large leopard too with two daggers in his both hands. He circulates half of his mana through his body to strengthen it and another half it to heal it continuously.

Of course the large leopard also plunged towards Leo intending to eat him in one single gulp. Leo suddenly crouches, then he slides straight below the leopard.

The leopard tried to slash its claw to Leo but missed. When Leo successfully positioned himself below the Leopard. He controlsl the majority of his mana, and puts it in his arms and legs.

Then he jumped with his daggers pointed at the belly of the leopard!

The leopard already sensed that it was in danger. It suddenly curled its body into a ball then used its back to defend itself on the incoming attack.

Tang! Stab!

Surprisingly, when Leo's dagger hit the back of the leopard. It sounded like a metal hitting a metal. Its fur was strong as iron and even made Leo's dagger bent. But even so, Leo still managed to stab it and cause a small wound on it then he let go of the dagger, leaving it stabbed at the back of the leopard.

This made the leopard mad. It rushed to Leo again without jumping this time and waved its claws!

Leo saw this and jumped backwards. He then threw his remaining dagger straight to the eyes of the leopard. But the leopard easily deflected it, and rushed again to Leo.

Leo wanted to catch the dagger but his opponent won't allow him. He step sideways to barely avoid the charging leopard. The leopard tried to slash its claws again. But Leo didn't stop after avoiding its attack.

He quickly ran behind the Leopard, then concentrated his mana to his left leg and left foot. He lifted his foot backwards then shouted.

"Taste my time stopping kick!" (Leo)

With great momentum, he kicked the bells of the leopard!

Time stops

No, the whole world of the leopard stops.

Even Yue Feng, who watches at the side, could feel the 'time stopping kick' of Leo in his balls.

The leopard, a male leopard, didn't expect that its opponent would target his balls and make it into a scramble egg. The weird thing is. The leopard wasn't blown away by the impact, it didn't even budge. As if all the force and impact was perfectly contained only in his balls, and didn't affect its whole body.

After some time, the leopard stood straight as if nothing happened and looked at the sky.

"Aawwwoooooooooo!!!" (Leopard???)

The leopard howled like a wolf in its misery. It suddenly slumped to the ground, with its mouth foaming.

"Eh?! It's a wolf?! I thought it was a cat!!!" (Leo)

"No, no, no! My dear little friend.... Even I will howl like a wolf if I were kicked like that!" (Yue Feng)

"Oh. Right. So my technique should be called a howling kick, huh." (Leo)

Hearing this, a cold sweat appeared on Yue Feng's back.

[I should think about it more carefully if I want to make this little friend as my disciple.] (Yue Feng)

Yue Feng thought, and began to reconsider things.

[Eh? What is he going to reconsider?] (Leo)

"You really are ruthless, kid. You even made this beast mouth foam, hoho." (Yue Feng)

"Isn't that normal? Anyways, it's good that my poison worked at it." (Leo)

[I don't think it's because of the poison though!] (Yue Feng)

"So? Are we going to capture the other one too?" (Yue Feng)

"No, it already ran away. But I didn't expect the magic beasts in this area to be weak." (Leo)

"Hoho, isn't it because we're just strong?" (Yue Feng)

"Maybe, I already knew that you could defeat the beetle. I just didn't expect that you could do it quickly. I'm sure this leopard saw that too and panicked, so it decided to kill me quickly without thinking of any strategy." (Leo)

"Hoho. Nice observation skills. So? What do you prefer to be your housepet? This cat? The insect? Or both?" (Yue Feng)

"Of course, both!" (Leo)
