[Buy the "Barbarian" cultivation technique for 10 King Points
Confirm action.
Yes/No]
Derek quickly pressed Yes, and in that moment, new knowledge began to flood his mind.
A few minutes later, after reviewing it, Derek began to practice. This technique was mainly for breathing.
To develop further, it had to be used during physical training.
After 20 minutes, Derek was exhausted and sat down on a fur mat.

"That was exhausting. I'm as hungry as if I haven't eaten in days," Derek thought.
He opened the shop and began searching for food. Choosing 3 kilograms of chicken meat for 0.1 points, he bought it and started cooking over a fire.
Before, he wouldn't have dared to buy and cook raw meat because of the beasts outside, but now, since he couldn't leave the cave anyway, he didn't care.
After preparing the food, Derek rested and resumed his self-training. Half an hour later, he was again tired from the exercises.
"After this kind of training, I'm starving. I'll need to buy more food," thought Derek.
He took out more meat from his inventory, started cooking it, and checked his status — he still needed 68% to reach the 1st Body Tempering Stage.
At noon, he stopped exercising and laid down to rest.
He didn't risk going outside. Even though he couldn't hear the wolf anymore, there were no birds either — a clear sign the wolf was still lurking nearby.
After a few hours of sleep, Derek bought more meat and resumed training.
Unlike the wolf, he didn't need to hunt for food, but still, he didn't want to be cornered.
That's why, once he advanced his development stage, he had to kill the wolf — only then would he feel safe.
As the day neared its end, Derek needed just 18% more to reach the 1st Body Tempering Stage.
Finishing the last sip of water, he laid down on the fur mat and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Derek woke up full of energy. After buying food and water, he resumed training.
One hour later.
[You have reached the 1st Body Tempering Stage.]
"Finally. It's time for that wolf to die," Derek thought with anticipation.
Before going out to fight the wolf, he checked what the new stage had given him.

Three of his attributes had increased by 5 points each — a significant boost.
"With this strength, I'll definitely kill the wolf," Derek thought eagerly.
He carefully moved the fur covering the entrance and slowly squeezed outside, holding his spear ahead of him.
The moment he stepped out of the cave, he noticed a gray blur rapidly approaching from the side.
Derek started dodging quickly, but the blur caught his ankle.
Raising the spear above his head and striking fast, Derek managed to free his leg.
Jumping back, he looked at the blur — as expected, it was the wolf.
He pointed the spear at it, understanding this would be a tough fight, especially with blood running down his leg.
The wolf charged. Derek struck, but it dodged and lunged forward, biting his arm.
Derek dropped his spear and struck the wolf's eye with his free hand, but it didn't let go.
Then he tried to gouge its eye with his finger, but just as he reached toward its face, the wolf suddenly leapt back.
Standing two meters away, Derek wanted to get to his spear, but the wolf didn't give him a chance — it pounced again.
"Stupid beast," Derek smirked.
Suddenly, a new spear appeared in his hands — he thrust it forward and pierced the wolf mid-air.
The wolf crashed to the ground with the spear in its body, trying to get back on its feet.
But Derek pulled out a third spear and stabbed it right in the eye.

[You have reached Level 3]
Derek stored the spears and the wolf's body in his inventory and returned to the cave.
Falling onto the fur mat, he opened the shop and started searching for medicine.
A few minutes later, he found an ointment.

Quickly purchasing it, he applied the ointment to the wounds on his arm and leg, then laid down and fell asleep.
