The Card Cultivation System
CCS-146

One year has passed. Xika lives with the wolves. So too with Shu Mang. The man had already been accepted to be part of the wolf, but still could not behave like a wolf. Unlike Xika, she was already completely acting like a wolf.

Not that he has lost his humanity but the wolves don't distinguish him anymore. For example, if they are racing to climb a cliff, Shu Mang can still give an excuse that he lost because physically humans are weaker than wolves.

But Xika is not. He gave no such reason. If he loses the race, he loses. There's no excuse. And if he wins, the wolves admire him even more. Although sometimes there is debate about the wolves' feathers and Xika's wings. Wolves often use their wings as an excuse.

Well, no matter how bad they argue, they're already a family. So even if they fought, it would not take long to return to peace.

During this year, Xika rarely met Heiliao or the other two leaders. It seemed like Heiliao was really working hard to get back on an adventure with him. He was still unsure of Lang Yan's idea of proposing two Alphas and Heiliao being allowed to become an Alpha even though he was a long distance away from his people.

But the wolves took it. They were all surprised, of course. But no one objected. Not even one. So Heiliao had to accept Lang Yan's idea. To be honest, Xika felt that the black wolf was quite enjoying its time as an Alpha.

Things change when wolves have two alphas. But they are beginning to adapt, as group animals do. If their leader dies, then they will find a replacement quickly so that the herd does not split.

And if their leader becomes two, they try to follow both. Although it is quite difficult because there will definitely be differences of opinion. But Heiliao and Lang Yan were able to resolve the difference well without being known to the other wolves.

Xuehao was considered an exception. The white wolf took Xika along every time Heiliao and Lang Yan settled their differences. Of course they finished it on the cliff where they used to fight. They attack each other and curse each other, but eventually they return to peace and find a middle ground of their differences.

Then they discussed all the major decisions that concerned all the wolves together, not just based on Alpha's decision. Their alphas are two, so the two must discuss. And since they were having a discussion, why not invite other leaders along? Heiliao became closer to the leaders thanks to this. But to be honest, the more important thing was that the black wolf started to open its heart.

What about Huo Bing? The bird still rarely spoke, the thing that Xika missed so much. But it didn't seem like it would be long before he recovered his qinya and went back to talk making the world noisy once again.

Xika spent her free time training with the wolves or cultivating by herself. After his wound had healed completely, he received many appeals which of course he received all. The wolf-healers who understood medicine and used to check Xika-fear that she would be hurt again if she received such a battle training call.

But Xika ignored them and continued fighting. The outcome? His body was all sick, but it did not reach the stage where the healer wolves forbade him from training again. From his fight with the wolves taught him many things. Sometimes Xika and the wolves let go of their fatigue by fighting each other.

Of course both got more injuries than usual. But the wolf healers and other leaders could not prevent them because Heiliao and Lang Yanpun settled their differences in a similar way. In addition, Xika can also know the characteristics of each race more deeply.

For example the Shield Steel Wolf, his people Lang Yan, had feathers as hard as iron which became the defense of their pride. Xika was attracted by their fur and asked for some strands. Lang Hu allowed it even though the process of picking up the fur was quite painful.

And Xika found something interesting. The feathers were no longer hard when they left the body of Lang Hu or the other Shield Steel Wolf people. So the feathers were only hard when they were still part of the wolf. Once released, it was no different from ordinary wolf fur.

Xika asked a few things and the Shield Steel Wolf tribe managed to find a new technique thanks to his help. Their fur is very hard. The whole. Xika asked why it could be like that, they answered it had already happened since birth. It may be related to the spiritual patterns they use.

That pattern makes their fur stronger than other wolves. Then Xika asked one of them to focus their qi on one point. And as a result, the point is many times stronger than the other parts. But of course, since the usual qi throughout the body is focused at one point, the other parts become weaker.

The technique became a double-edged sword. If used properly, they can give a stronger attack, but if they fail, then they will receive attacks that are also many times. Then Xika recalled the fight of Heiliao and Lang Yan.

He wondered why the other wolves never used their tails to attack. Of course they don't know either. They just move like that, naturally. But that question got some wolves motivated to use their tails in combat.

Xika plays a big role in helping them use her tail. Then when some wolves had mastered their tails well enough, other wolves began to be attracted and tail fighting techniques became popular among wolves.

Xika was currently standing in the wolf multipurpose field. He faced off against a large wolf that had a feather as strong as steel. The wolf was among those who learned the fighting technique using the earliest tail. He had already fought with Xika.

Lang Jin's.

"Spirit, Brother! Go, Xika! I don't know who's gonna win, so I'm not gonna bet. I'm just gonna watch."

The few wolves watching the two looked at Lang Hu strangely, but he ignored them. Neither Xika nor Lang Jin seemed bothered by Lang Hu's words. The longer the wolf comes.

It is not as lively as their first fight, but still this is just as lively when a big event occurs. Less leaders. Most who come are the younger generation who are interested in seeing the fight of both. Some who had not watched regretted not wanting to miss their second fight.

While some who still do not want to miss because they know the fight this time will not be less interesting than before. Although it seemed that no leader had come, but most of them were watching the field with their aura and perception.

So this fight is also watched by the leaders as well as the younger generation, although the younger generation is not aware of their leader also watching. A few moments passed and Xika and Lang Jin were still staring at each other as if waiting for the audience to come even more.

But they actually measured each other's strength and tried hard not to make any movement that showed a gap. As a result, they looked at each other without any movement.

But he was wrong. Xika disappeared from before his eyes and reappeared above his back with the unsheathed Cosmos. The big wolf immediately turned around but his actions were already predicted by Xika. A wall of earth appeared and prevented Lang Jin from dodging.

Jem!

Xika's attack hits Lang Jin, but the big wolf manages to save his vital point. His tail began to sharpen and prepare to stab Xika who was currently having trouble pulling her cards from the body of the big wolf.

He jumped back and did not try to pull the card further. Lang Jin's attack missed. But thanks to that he managed to keep his distance from Xika. He took a deep breath before flicking the Xika card and revealing his body that had no significant injuries.

Xika pulled the card back. Then he spread his wings again. But this time not to disappear or fly, but to throw his feathers towards Lang Jin. The wolf was already able to read the pattern of his fur attack, so he added a windstorm to mess up the pattern.

Lang Jin's moderately heavy body managed to keep him from being lifted flying due to storm Xika, but he still had trouble moving. And Cosmos-the Xika-card easily about it. But of course Lang Jin did not just sit idly by for this one year.

He practiced a lot. And the results of this training he showed in the face of Cosmos in the midst of the wind storm Xika. He fended off the cards and managed to bite one of them. He used the cards he managed to bite as a weapon to deal with other cards.

"When did you use a gun? I thought your body was the only weapon."

"I learned a lot from one."

Xika did not continue to talk but she gave a smile. He sent more cards to Lang Jin to keep the wolf busy. Both of his pupils lit up and formed five element symbols. And the symbol slowly came out of his eyes and increased the pressure around until some of the weaker wolves were forced to retreat and watch from afar.

Lang Jin sensed danger. He swung his claws while spinning and repulsed the Xika cards far enough to give him a pause. He's not waiting anymore. He jumped to the side.

WHUSHHHHHH!!!

A moment after Lang Jin jumped to the side, Xika's five-element attack passed through where she had been before. Lang Ji stared at the former Xika attack with goosebumps. He was almost killed by the attack last time. Fortunately, he could avoid it. But can he avoid it a second time?

A BLAR!

Xika's attack came back. But this time it was not a wave of energy like before. The space near his head suddenly exploded and caught fire. Lang Jin barely avoided it. Some of the fur was charred because it was too late to react.

He looked at Xika with wide eyes. Again, the boy surprised him. But Xika did not give him time to think, even to be amazed.

The boy again pointed his palm towards Lang Jin's head. This time a sharp thorn appeared. Lang Jin was about to dodge but the ground became hard and restrained his legs. He had to give out his new technique. He had wanted to use this as the ultimate attack but what could he do.

Lang Jin roared savagely and violently enough to shatter the sharp thorns and ground that held his feet. Xika surprised. And he didn't waste that moment. He ran as fast as he could against the boy with his jaw wide open.

Xika lowered her head avoiding Lang Jin's savage jaw. The wolf landed not far from him and immediately revolved attacking him using claws.

Several pieces of cards came out from the pockets of Xika's robe and formed a sword. Xika grasped it and used it to fend off Lang Jin's sharp claws.

The two of them clashed against each other and made a sound of metal clashing. It turned out that not only was his fur hard, but Lang Jin's claws were also hard and sharp enough to rival Xika's cards. Both of them jumped back to keep their distance and took a breath.

Xika prepared to strike back, but there was something strange about Lang Jin. The wolf had no intention of fighting at close range. His savage gaze and his mouth were grinning. The wolf will roar back. Damnit damnit!

"ROARR!!!!"

Xika rolled up two pieces of her cards to clot her ears but it turned out that it was still not enough. Auman Lang Jin still managed to vibrate his internal organs even though most of them were held in his cards. Xika was forced into a defensive position.

I don't know how much longer Lang Jin will roar. When the wolf stopped roaring, it would immediately hit him. But the roar was merely a diversion for Xika to be unaware of her true attack.

Simultaneously as he roared, Lang Jin released his feathers and floated them towards Xika.

During a discussion with Xika, he discovers one thing the boy does not know. When his fur was off his body, his fur had indeed become weak. But the fur will become hard again when the qi is fed. And at this moment, he was floating thousands of sharp hard feathers towards Xika.
