Chapter 41: Training Complete

Feng was eager to test his new idea, swiftly activating his Heaven’s Pact without allowing it to manifest externally.

Instead, he let it strengthen his body as the tattoo representing his pact glowed on his back.

At the same time, he gathered darksilver spiritual energy and unleashed an aura of dominance from his Alpha Wolf’s domain.

The combined forces sent a deep rumble through his body, releasing a suffocating pressure into the surroundings—it felt like a ticking time bomb on the verge of detonation.

"Uh... is this actually safe?" Feng muttered.

As his body filled with overwhelming power, a creeping unease took hold.

He felt as if he might burst apart at any moment.

What if the backlash was even worse this time?

What if his entire body exploded into bits, killing him instantly?

But he gritted his teeth. If he couldn’t unleash the Ruler’s Howl this way, he had no other method to attempt right now—this was his last chance.

Without hesitation, Feng opened his mouth, appearing to roar himself, but in truth, all the energy was surging from the Heaven’s Pact tattoo on his back.

"All right, all or nothing," he braced himself. If this failed and backlash struck, he needed to be as prepared as possible.

Determined, he attempted to reinforce his body, spreading the darksilver spiritual energy evenly throughout.

AWOOO!!!

Feng unleashed a deafening howl, though it was merely a front—the true power came from his Heaven’s Pact.

The sound tore through the air like a raging tornado, bending trees within a 50-meter radius as if they were mere twigs.

Some even snapped and crashed to the ground, while rocks and debris were sent flying in all directions.

The howl’s sheer intensity must have carried its echo far beyond the battlefield.

But that wasn’t the most terrifying part.

This howl wasn’t just sound—it was infused with the overwhelming aura of dominance and bloodlust from his Alpha Wolf’s Domain, but in an even more concentrated form.

Any cultivator below the 9th level of Qi Condensation struck by it would likely be paralyzed with fear for several seconds.

Even after the effect wore off, lingering terror would gnaw at them, making it difficult to face Feng head-on. His gamble had paid off.

Exhausted, Feng dropped onto the ground.

That single howl had siphoned nearly 60 percent of his total spiritual energy in an instant.

The rapid depletion left him nauseous, a clear sign that, at his current cultivation level, he could only unleash this attack once per battle.

He would have to adapt to the unsettling side effects, but aside from that, this technique was undeniably a powerful trump card.

"Hmm, I wonder how strong the Ruler’s Howl would be if I were fully integrated with my Heaven’s Pact?"

The thought suddenly surfaced in Feng’s mind.

As much as he wanted to test it, he knew that with his current cultivation level, attempting such a thing would likely drain all his spiritual energy at once, leaving him unconscious on the spot.

"It’s fine. At least now I have a solid grasp of my abilities," he reassured himself.

"Ruler’s Physique enhances my physical body and allows me to extend these claws." Feng glanced at his ten fingernails and willed them to lengthen.

With a swift motion, they shot out like retractable blades, razor-sharp and deadly.

If an opponent lacked sufficient strength, a single strike could easily pierce their flesh, inflicting grievous wounds.

"Wolf Bane further amplifies my claws. By channeling spiritual energy through specific Qi pathways, I can double their size, making them lethal even against cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Condensation.

But would they still be effective against those at even higher levels?" Feng pondered, his fingers flexing instinctively.

"Ruler’s Howl can serve as my trump card. If I use it strategically, even if most of my spiritual energy is depleted, I can stun enemies below the 9th level of Qi Condensation for a few seconds.

In life-and-death battles, those few seconds could mean life and death. Besides, once I kill them, I can absorb their spiritual energy and quickly replenish my reserves." Feng’s eyes gleamed with determination.

"My Alpha Wolf’s Domain is also a natural deterrent. In combat, I can use it to pressure my enemies, making them hesitant to take risks or forcing them to waste attacks needlessly.

More importantly, as my killing intent grows stronger, so will the suppressive aura. If my theory is correct, it may even be able to suppress the cultivation base of other cultivators in the future." He stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"I guess that’s everything I have for now. The next step is to stabilize my cultivation base so it reaches its peak before I leave for Brightshore City." A thrill of excitement ran through him.

"I should probably return to the Ruler’s place. Since I’m leaving soon, I should pay my respects." With that thought, Feng turned and began walking back toward the camp.

Unbeknownst to him, the Blackwood Ruler hovered high above, its colossal form blending into the golden light of the late afternoon.

The sun’s glow reflected off the silver streaks in its thick black fur, making them shimmer as its piercing gray eyes observed Feng with quiet approval.

It had been watching, ensuring Feng had truly grasped the Ruler’s Howl, although it seemed like it left Feng to his own devices, every time Feng did attempt his personal training the Blackwood Ruler would leave some of his attention on him to ensure that nothing went wrong.

The Blackwood Ruler then turned its gaze toward the territorial bounds of Raincloud Village, its eyes gleaming with cold ferocity.

While it seemed that Elder Zhou had suffered the worst of their battle, the Blackwood Ruler had not emerged unscathed.

Hidden beneath its calm exterior were injuries far more difficult to heal—wounds inflicted upon its very soul.

Elder Zhou’s Raincloud Needle Heaven’s Pact carried a unique ability to damage the souls of living beings, and though the Blackwood Ruler appeared unbothered, it silently bore the consequences of their deadly clash.
