A good opponent

Natasha sure that she had encountered a bottleneck, and if she did not break through this bottleneck, she would not be able to temper her bones onto diamond!

She was just one step from achieving her goal, but it seems as if there was a barrier blocking her way, and if this barrier is not broken, there would be no hope for diamond Bones.

However, Natasha had no idea how to go about breaking this barrier.

No matter how much she circulated her mana, or how much she tried to temper her bones, it had absolutely no effect at all.

"Do I need to relax my mind and re-comprehend the inspiration in nature to be able to break through the barrier?"

"No, I have a hunch that it requires pressure to breakthrough, preferably a combination of internal and external pressure, but I just don't know what kind of Pressure…"

Natasha fell into deep thought, but finally decided to ask her teacher.

At this moment, Matthew walked out of the room.

"Natasha, come over here!"

Natasha perked up.

'Is the teacher calling me over to give me advice, after seeing that I have encountered a bottleneck?'

Thinking so, she hurried jogged over

Matthew had a stern look on his face as he asked:

"After you hunted the lion in the forest, did you search the entire Forest?"

Natasha was startled by the seemingly random question, but she still shook her head.

"In addition to the lion, there is another ferocious beast in the forest. Be careful and deal with it!"

Matthew solemnly warned.

Judging from the description in Daniel's diary, the ferocious beast was unusual, and it would be bad if it came to the small village.

This was a huge threat.

Natasha's eyes immediately lit up when she heard this, and she thought to herself:

'There is actually another ferocious beast in the forest? Is it stronger than the red eyed lion?'

'I understand! The teacher is telling me that this is the opportunity for me to break through!"

"Fighting the fierce beasts might stimulate my potential, and add the pressure I need in order to break the barrier.'

'In this way, my diamond bones have the hope of being formed!"

At this moment, it was as if a light flashed in Natasha mind, and she suddenly understood what kind of pressure she needed to break through.

The ferocious beasts In the forest was her opportunity!

She immediately nodded excitedly and said:

"Teacher, I understand, I will go and deal with it now!"

Without further ado, Natasha ran to and mounted her horse excitedly, and left the village in the direction of the Lefifi forest.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even -finished speaking yet."

Matthew was left standing there, speechless.

"Why was that silly girl so excited when she heard that there was a ferocious beast in the forest?"

"Is she addicted to hunting or something?"

"Well, with a large number of people, the ferocious beast should not be able to escape."

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he learned from Natasha that the profession of a knight was not too strong and belonged to a low level of power system, he felt like there should be no problem in them dealing with a ferocious beast, as long as they had a large number of people.

Since this world only had a low-level power system, no matter how strong the beast was, it couldn't be much stronger, right?

…

Natasha quickly reached the forest and began to search.

As her search deepened, she found that the trees in the forest were becoming thicker and thicker.

At some point, her horse actually started trembling, it's speed became slower and slower, and it even wanted to retreat.

Natasha felt that her enemy must be near, so she started circulating her mana throughout her body, and she became alert of her surroundings.

Suddenly, a low growl came from behind a big tree, and a fiery figure rushed towards her with exposed fangs that glowed with a cold light.

It pounced directly on Natasha.

Seeing this. Natasha's eyes lit up, and she punched out.

Bang!——

Paw met fist, and Natasha felt a huge force coming colliding with her before she was knocked off of her horse.

The horse was so frightened that its limbs went limp and it fell to the ground, trembling.

"How is that possible!"

Natasha was shocked.   

She had nearly tempered her bones into diamond, so her strength was beyond imagination.

If she encountered the red eyes lion again at this time, she would be able to kill it with just one punch, without even using her full power.

Even so, she was actually pushed back by this ferocious beast.

Natasha rolled over on the ground and got up.

As she got up, she caught sight of the fiery red figure rushing up to her again.

"Ah!"

Natasha roared, as she readied herself to meet the beast.

Bang!——

The two exchanged blows as the beast struck her abdomen, and she hit it as well.

After the impact, she staggered back a few steps, feeling some pain.

The ferocious beast that also received a punch, took two steps back.

At that moment, Natasha took a good look at her opponent, she saw that it's whole body was a fiery red color, especially the mane around it's neck, which was as red as fire, almost like a burning flame.

The beast had a pair of piercing blue eyes, and two fangs that were as long as her forearms, glowing with cold light.

It's hind body was much smaller than it's front body, but it's hind limbs were extremely strong.

The forelimbs were like tiger paws, only with sharper claws, almost as if they were small daggers.

The size of the beast was only slightly more than half the size of the red eyed lion, but it emitted a fierce aura just by standing there, and it's eyes gave people a feeling of being sinister and violent.

Being stared at by those eyes would made most people shiver.

At this moment, those green eyes were menacingly staring at Natasha.

It felt a strong presence of mana from this human being, which gave it a desire to eat her.

"Fire-maned wolf?!"

Natasha felt awe-struck in her heart.

The appearance of this ferocious beast was exactly the same as a ferocious beast she had seen in an ancient storybook, the fire-maned wolf.

It was written that the fire-maned wolf was so powerful that it once invaded a city, wreaked havoc, and caused countless casualties.

After being encircled and attacked by an elite army, it had actually managed to escape unscathed!

"I never thought that there would be a fire-maned wolf in this forest!"

"Hmph, they all said I was stupid, who is stupid now? Look, even the fire-maned wolf appeared!"

Natasha very was excited.

After all. This was the fire-maned wolf, the legendary ferocious beast.

Many people have read the story about the fire-maned wolf, but none of them took it seriously.

A ferocious beast entered the city and wreaked havoc, but actually retreated safely under the encirclement and suppression of the army?

They all thought that it was outrageous! But Natasha believed it.

Judging from the previous confrontation with the fire maned wolf, she concluded that it was strong enough to retreat from the encirclement and suppression of an army.

It had a body strong enough to withstand swords without injury, an agile enough speed to run circles around most knights, and a huge amount of strength.

Even she felt some pressure, which showed how powerful the fire maned wolf was.

"This is my chance to break through!"

Natasha believed that the fire-maned wolf was the opportunity for her to break through into the diamond bone realm.

She would fight the fire-maned wolf and break through her shackles under strong pressure.

"Come on, today I, Natasha, will use you, a fire-maned wolf to temper my bones!"

Natasha spoke out loudly, her mana circulating so fast that she even had a faint crystal like glow appearing on her body, and she rushed forward confront the opponent.

Roar!——

The fire-maned wolf roared and pounced forward.

It slapped out claws, opened it's huge mouth to expose it's fangs that were dripping with saliva, and tried to bite Natasha fiercely.

Natasha grabbed the fire-maned wolf's claws with both hands, and before it could bite her, then kicked the fire-maned wolf with force, sending it flying a few meters away.

Not giving it a chance, she rushed forward to punch it.

The fire-maned wolf roared, it's eyes turned blood red, a violent aura filled the air, as it's fiery red mane fluttered in the wind like a burning flame.

It dodged the incoming punch, and pounced on Natasha from the side.

Bang!——

Natasha who was sent flying away felt shocked.

'Why did the body of the fire-maned wolf suddenly become so hot?'

The wolf pressed on with it's attack, and Natasha was unwilling to fall behind.

The battle of the one girl and one wolf shook the forest.

Natasha roared angrily, pushed back the fire-maned wolf, rushed forward again, grabbed the fire-maned wolf's claws, and pinned it to the ground.

The fire-maned wolf's hind legs started kicking, directly kicking Natasha's body.

Each kick was so powerful that it shook Natasha's mana, and the pain stimulated his nerves.

"Die!"

Boom!—-—

Natasha struggled to throw the fire-maned wolf away.

At this moment Natasha felt her blood and mana boiling all over her body.
