Bang!
In the forest that was filled with withered leaves, the ground suddenly trembled violently. A roar filled with ruthlessness spread out into the distance. Looking in the direction of the roar, one could see a huge brown bear that was several meters tall. It was waving its hammer-like huge paw as it furiously swatted at a petite figure in front of it.
Facing the huge bear's attack, the petite figure quickly retreated. The short sword in her hand was wrapped in Spiritual Energy and was like a snake coming out of its hole. It slashed across the white fur on the huge bear's chest, causing a dark red bloodstain to appear.
Roar!
The intense pain radiating from its chest caused the giant bear to go slightly insane. Deep yellow Spiritual Energy filled its giant palm. Every single slap would leave a deep imprint on the ground. If this kind of power were to land on that petite body, it would definitely be enough to cause serious injuries to her with a single slap.
Fortunately, the petite figure was quite agile and constantly dodged. Taking advantage of the huge bear's opening, the short sword left another bloodstain on the huge bear's chest.
The two figures, one big and one small, were constantly entangled. Approximately ten minutes later, the huge bear was finally unable to endure the exhaustion and its huge body fell to the ground like a mountain rock.
When the beautiful young lady saw that she had finally exhausted the giant bear to death, she heaved a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. She wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead with her jade-like hand and turned her head around while panting. Under a large tree not far away, there was a tall and slender young man watching this scene with a smile.
"Not bad."
Mu Chen walked forward and glanced at the corpse of the Mountain Bear. Then, he pointed at the white marks that were covered in blood and said, "However, you weren't decisive enough when you attacked. That's its weak point. As long as you found a single flaw, you would've been able to kill it. You've done too many useless things earlier. If this Mountain Bear was a little stronger, you might've been the one to be exhausted."
Tang Qian 'er looked not far away. There was also a mountain bear that had been killed. However, there was only a bloody hole on the white mark on the mountain bear's chest. The bloody hole was extremely accurate and went straight to the mountain bear's heart. It was obvious that the mountain bear had been killed in one hit.
This Mountain Bear was the result of Mu Chen's battle. Earlier, Tang Qian 'Er had witnessed the fierce attack. It was ruthless, accurate, and without any hesitation. Compared to her current sorry state, it was many times more natural and unrestrained.
"You're a monster. How can I compare to you?!"
Tang Qian'er pouted. Although she had never hunted a Spirit Beast before, she could still feel that Mu Chen's methods were definitely not weaker than those adventurers who often mixed in between life and death. How could she compare?
However, although she said that, Tang Qian'er was a little impressed. Along the way, under Mu Chen's guidance, she had already begun to get rid of her initial fear. Now, she could even hunt low rank Spirit Beasts that were around the Spiritual Movement Stage Middle Stage by herself. As for Mu Chen, his handsome face maintained a calm and gentle smile from beginning to end. The dangers that were enough to make her tremble seemed insignificant in his eyes.
Tang Qian'er's eyes wandered as she looked at the young man who was squatting down to collect the Mountain Bear's Soul Essence. Tiny specks of light fell on his body. The serious side of his face had a temperament that an ordinary young man did not have. This made her face slightly blush.
"Today's harvest is not small. Up until now, we have already obtained eight low rank Spirit Beast's Soul Essences." Mu Chen kept the Mountain Bear's Soul Essence, then stood up and smiled at Tang Qian'er.
Hearing this good result, Tang Qian'er also smiled. Today's harvest was quite satisfactory.
"Let's go and continue. The results are a small matter. This is an opportunity to hone ourselves. We should take advantage of it."
Mu Chen smiled. Just as he was about to go deeper, he suddenly frowned and looked to the right.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Tang Qian'er could not help but ask.
"There's some movement over there. Let's go take a look."
Mu Chen thought for a moment, then waved his hand towards Tang Qian'er. He quickened his pace and headed towards that direction. Seeing this, Tang Qian'er quickly followed.
In the dense forest, dozens of Northern Spiritual Academy students were clustered together. At this moment, their faces were pale as they stared in front of them. At that location, there were ten figures lazily leaning against a tree trunk. Their gazes were filled with ridicule as they looked at them.
Although the ten figures were lazy, they gave off a sense of competence. Their eyes were bright and sharp and there was even a faint smell of blood emitting from their bodies.
This was a small team of adventurers.
"What do you guys want?!"
In front of the Northern Spiritual Academy students, there were many familiar figures. Mo Ling, Tan Qingshan, even Jiang Li and Teng Yong were there. At this moment, their expressions were the same as the other Northern Spiritual Academy students. They stared angrily and fearfully at the Adventurers in front of them.
After all, they were still youths who were not too old. Even if they were to face a fierce Spiritual Beast, they would still be a bit afraid. However, the Adventurers in front of them were people who often licked blood from their blades. The ruthlessness that they inadvertently revealed was enough to make them tremble.
"You brats who haven't even grown your hair yet."
A young man wearing leather armor smiled as he looked at the Northern Spiritual Academy students in front of him. He lazily said: "Didn't I say it before? Take out the Spiritual Beast's Soul Essences in your hands."
"You want to rob us!" One of the youths angrily said.
"Correct!"
The young man laughed and his companions behind him also laughed. It was obvious that they had treated this as a little fun.
"We are students of the Northern Spiritual Academy. Our two teachers are here and they have the strength of a Spirit Stage!" A student mentioned Teacher Mo and Teacher Mo in an attempt to intimidate the Adventurer Team in front of them.
"I know that you are students of the Northern Spiritual Academy. You came here to train, right?
Did your instructors tell you that encountering robberies is also a form of cultivation? "
The young man curled his lips and smiled: "As long as I don't kill you, your teachers will not care."
"So hand it over. Don't make me do it. I'm quite violent." The young man grinned. His white teeth were like those of a wild beast, causing people to feel a chill in their hearts.
"You!"
Mo Ling could not help but become angry and clenched his fists.
"You want to try fighting?
You also have the strength of a Spiritual Movement Stage Late Phase, the same as me. Why don't you try and see who is stronger? "The young man glanced at Mo Ling and smiled. His smile was bloodthirsty.
When Mo Ling saw the young man's gaze, it was as if he was staring at his prey. His heart turned cold. Although they were both at the Spiritual Movement Stage Late Phase, the latter's aura was not something that he could compare with. Moreover, the companions behind this guy were not any weaker than him.
Mo Ling's eyes flashed. After a moment, his tightly clenched fists finally loosened. He let out a bitter smile and helplessly shook his head towards Tan Qingshan, Jiang Li and the others.
Tan Qingshan and the others could only sigh. They understood that they were not on the same level as the Adventurer Team in front of them. Right now, they could only accept their bad luck and treat it as a way of avoiding disaster.
"That's what a sensible child should be like."
When the young man saw that Mo Ling and the others had given up resisting, he smiled in satisfaction. However, the corner of his mouth was filled with ridicule. This is the Northern Spiritual Academy's students?
How disappointing.
"What are you doing?"
Just when Mo Ling and the others were about to take out the Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence that they had obtained with great difficulty, a puzzled voice suddenly came from behind them. They immediately turned their heads and saw Mu Chen and Tang Qian 'Er standing not far away, looking at them.
"Mu Chen?"
When Mo Ling and the others saw Mu Chen, they were first happy by reflex. However, they immediately thought of something and hurriedly gave Mu Chen a look, telling him to quickly leave.
"What's wrong?"
However, it was as if Mu Chen did not see their eyes. Instead, he smiled and walked over with Tang Qian 'Er.
"Shh, there's another fat sheep."
The young man grinned as he stared at Mu Chen. Then, his gaze suddenly landed on Tang Qian 'Er, who was beside him. His eyes instantly lit up and he whistled as he said: "There's still a little beauty here!"
Tang Qian 'Er angrily stared at the young man. However, this anger made the young man slightly stunned.
When Mo Ling saw Mu Chen and Tang Qian 'Er walking over, he could only bitterly smile and shake his head. Then, he explained the situation.
"Robbery?
You guys are really unlucky. "After listening to it, Mu Chen could not help but smile and said.
"Aren't you the same?" Jiang Li and the others rolled their eyes. This guy could still smile at this moment.
"Hey, boy. Since you're here, then take out some Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence. Then, let the beauty hand it over. After all, you can't be biased." The young man waved his hand and smiled.
"You want mine too?" Mu Chen frowned and said.
"Who told you to be unlucky enough to come here. You brats are really stupid. Although your talent is not bad, if you really want to fight, you guys are really not enough." The young man seemed to be a little helpless as he said.
"I only have one Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence. Then, I'll give it to you."
Mu Chen scratched his head and took out a Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence. Then, he walked toward the young man.
"Are you deaf? I told you to get that little beauty to bring it over. You're a little annoying, aren't you?" That young man frowned and jabbered on incessantly.
While he was chattering, Mu Chen had already arrived in front of him and handed over the Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence.
The young man grabbed the Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence with one hand and swatted at Mu Chen's head with the other. However, just as his hand was about to touch the Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence, the smile in the young man's black eyes instantly turned cold.
With a flip of his palm, a sharp black light shot out. With a cunning and ruthless arc, it directly slashed across the young man's palm. Fresh blood immediately sprayed out.
This scene happened in a flash. Almost no one could react in time. Even the companions behind the young man were a little stunned as they stared at the fresh blood that flew past.
Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, the handsome young man raised his head and smiled.
"Sorry, I suddenly don't want to give it to you."
(Today, I hope to collect sixty thousand. Please help me. Thank you.)
