"Demonic Beast?"
Gu Han's eyes lit up, no longer bothering to argue with the two.
"Just in ti!"
"Is it fun?"
Fatty drawled, "With your strength, are these demonic beasts even a threat to you?"
"No threat."
Gu Han shook his head.
"But I have to take first place!"
"..."
Fatty's tone choked.
"What about Yu Hua?"
"We'll deal with that later."
Gu Han glanced at him.
"An easy twenty thousand Yuan Crystals, why not take it?"
During their conversation,
Several Martial Academy students erged from the forest in a panic, and hot on their heels was a massive beast, resembling a wild boar with eyes full of ferocity!
Whoosh!
The mont it saw Gu Han and Fatty,
The demonic beast abruptly halted!
It sensed a whiff of danger emanating from the two.
"Third Order?"
Fatty glanced over.
"Weak."
"Not bad."
Gu Han nodded.
"It does seem a bit underwhelming."
The fleeing students clenched their teeth in secret.
Although the beast was Third Order, its strength was among the best of its rank, almost comparable to a human at the fifth or sixth level of ridian Unblocking. Otherwise, how could it have chased them into such a sorry state?
But with Gu Han's strength on display, even though they were dissatisfied, they dared not voice any objections.
"Go on."
Fatty glanced at Gu Han.
"Quickly finish it off, we have important matters to attend to!"
"I'm injured."
Gu Han said seriously.
"It's not advisable for to act now, you go!"
"Nice try!"
Fatty's face showed disdain.
"Thinking of using Fatty as a laborer? No way!"
"Then..."
Gu Han stroked his chin.
"How about... Brother Jiang, you go?"
"Eh?"
Jiang Feng was taken aback for a mont, sowhat eager to try.
He hadn't been cultivating for long, and although he was born with an extrely cold constitution and had a Heavenly Rank Technique, he had almost no real combat experience beside Manager Li. Now presented with this opportunity, he naturally wanted to test his own strength.
However,
Seeing the beast's ferocious deanor, he felt a bit apprehensive.
After all,
He was only at the third level of ridian Opening.
"Can I..."
He looked at the two with hopeful eyes.
"Make it?"
"Doubtful!"
"Pretty tough!"
The two answered decisively without hesitation.
"..."
Jiang Feng was speechless.
If he didn't know they ant no harm, he might have suspected they were sending him to his death on purpose.
"Scared of what!"
Fatty waved his hand, full of bravado.
"Before it eats you, Fatty here will definitely step in to pull you back!"
"Then..."
Jiang Feng swallowed.
"What if it doesn't eat ?"
"Then keep at it! Lure it to try and eat you!"
"..."
"Brother Jiang."
Gu Han glared fiercely at Fatty.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, just go, this opportunity is rare for you!"
"Okay!"
Jiang Feng felt,
Gu Han was a hundred tis more reliable than Fatty!
Huff...
He took a deep breath, no longer hesitating, his cultivation slowly circulating as he approached the demonic beast.
Instantly,
Threads of dark mist swirled around him.
And the temperature around the field dropped in an instant!
"What is this!"
The students were shocked.
"Such intense cold!"
"Could it be... the Seventh Prince also has a special constitution?"
"Impossible! I heard from people in the Capital that he was terminally ill, barely clinging to life. Even if he miraculously recovers, how could he suddenly have a special constitution?"
"..."
The students discussed among themselves.
They didn't know much about Jiang Feng, naturally unaware of the extre cold constitution.
"Tsk!"
With Fatty's personality,
He had already figured out Jiang Feng's background, and upon hearing their words, he showed disdain.
"Naive! Isn't it just... Huh?"
Before he could finish,
His expression changed.
"Sothing's wrong! His technique... seems to have a problem!"
***
Above the trial grounds,
Commander Zhou remained as usual, eyes slightly closed, not uttering a word.
While Wu and Feng were conversing in low voices.
"Do you think he has a chance?"
"Hard to say, after all, we don't know what the Azure Cloud Pavilion's test really is?"
"Sigh!"
Minister Wu smiled bitterly.
"If even he's not confident, then I don't know who else could pass the test."
"Gentlen."
Commander Zhou, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
"Please do a favor."
Huh?
The two were startled.
They had known Commander Zhou for many years and had never seen him actively ask for help.
"Commander Zhou, please speak."
"That's right, we've known each other for years, no need for formalities."
"Earlier."
Commander Zhou paused for a mont.
"When I was observing the movents in the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, I discovered sothing extraordinary."
"Extraordinary?"
"That's right."
Commander Zhou seed to have made up his mind and no longer kept it secret.
"A Green Lotus Fruit!"
"Green Lotus Fruit!"
The two were shocked.
Their cultivation had reached the ability to fly, and ordinary dicinal pills and spiritual fruits had little effect on them. But the Green Lotus Fruit was different; it was a rare treasure in the world. If refined properly, it could greatly enhance the physical strength of cultivators, a supre elixir coveted by countless masters of the flying realm!
Unfortunately,
This kind of fruit has always grown only in the deepest parts of the Barbaric Wilderness Forest. It appeared once decades ago, causing masters from ten countries to fight over it, eventually falling into the hands of the Great Qi's founding emperor.
Since then,
No one had seen it again!
"Commander Zhou!"
Minister Wu trembled with excitent.
"Is this true?"
"Of course, it's true!"
"Then why..."
The two were skeptical.
Such a precious thing, why would Commander Zhou so generously share this news with them?
"It's simple!"
Commander Zhou looked at them.
"Beside that fruit... there's a Seventh-Order Demonic Beast!"
Seventh Order!
The two shuddered.
A Seventh-Order Demonic Beast corresponded to a human master of the flying realm. One step further, and it could cross the Tribulation to transform. With Commander Zhou's strength, dealing with it would be extrely difficult.
Now,
They were sowhat convinced by Commander Zhou's words.
"So."
Commander Zhou continued: "That's why I'm seeking your help. Although that Seventh-Order Demonic Beast is strong, the three of us together can surely take it down! After we succeed, that Green Lotus Fruit... we'll split it equally!"
"Agreed!"
The two didn't hesitate and imdiately agreed.
The Green Lotus Fruit was a rare opportunity, even if divided... it was a huge temptation!
"Commander Zhou!"
Wu and Feng looked at each other.
"Don't worry, we'll give it our all!"
"That's right, once the trial is over, we'll accompany you..."
"No!"
Commander Zhou shook his head.
"Now, it's too late if we delay. That beast is about to transform, and it will happen within these two or three days. Before it transforms... it will surely consu that fruit!"
"This..."
The two hesitated.
"Commander Zhou, this Martial Academy trial is of utmost importance. If we are not here to oversee it, and sothing goes wrong..."
"Gentlen!"
Commander Zhou's gaze sharpened.
"The Martial Academy trial rarely encounters problems. Our presence here is just a formality! Besides, it will only take three days to go and return. We can hurry back in ti! What are you worried about?"
The two fell silent.
They weren't actually worried about anything.
It was the sense of responsibility in their hearts that made them hesitate.
"Gentlen."
Commander Zhou sounded sowhat anxious.
"The significance of the Green Lotus Fruit to us needs no explanation, right? If we miss this incredible opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity? Do you really want to remain at the flying realm for life, not wanting to advance further?"
"..."
A struggle flashed in their eyes.
Advance further?
Who wouldn't want to?
Previously, it was just a lack of opportunity.
But now, with the Green Lotus Fruit before them, it was like being given a chance!
If missed...
There might not be another opportunity in the future!
"Let's go!"
"Go!"
Ultimately, the temptation of the Green Lotus Fruit overca their sense of responsibility, and with gritted teeth, they agreed.
"But we must be quick!"
"If anything goes wrong, we return imdiately!"
"Agreed!"
Commander Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
"I naturally won't let you take too much risk! There's no ti to lose, let's set off now and return as soon as possible!"
With that,
He vanished into the sky in an instant.
Wu and Feng hesitated for a mont, then followed suit.
***
On the trial grounds,
At a certain location,
Jiang Hong, Liu Tong, and Liu Ying walked side by side. As for the demonic beasts they encountered along the way, Jiang Hong casually dealt with them.
With his strength,
Although far inferior to Gu Han and Fatty, dealing with these beasts was still very easy.
"Cousin."
Liu Tong hesitated for a long while before asking, "Can we really succeed this ti?"
"Rest assured."
Jiang Hong's face was expressionless.
"This ti, he won't escape!"
"Then..."
Liu Tong asked again, "How exactly did Commander Zhou manage to lure away the two deputy heads?"
Jiang Hong's brows furrowed slightly.
"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know!"
"Yes, yes!"
Liu Tong's heart skipped a beat, not daring to say another word.
To persuade Commander Zhou this ti, Jiang Hong had paid a great price.
That Green Lotus Fruit,
Was indeed real.
After discovering it, Commander Zhou, although overjoyed, retreated because he was wary of the beast about to transform. He planned to prepare before going again but was approached by Jiang Hong.
After so persuasion and offering benefits,
Commander Zhou agreed to his request.
And of course, the benefits he would receive after success far exceeded that of the Green Lotus Fruit.
"Miss Liu."
Thinking of Gu Han's impending death, Jiang Hong naturally felt extrely pleased and couldn't help but glance at Liu Ying beside him.
"You seem preoccupied?"
"Ah?"
At that mont, Liu Ying was sowhat distracted.
"No... nothing, thank you for your concern, Your Highness!"
For so reason, even though the plan was ticulous, she still felt worried.
Gu Han...
Was he really dood this ti?
"Miss Liu."
Seeing her expression, Jiang Hong felt displeased.
"If you are..."
Before he could finish,
"Roar!"
A roar filled with ferocity reached the ears of the three!
Following that,
Ca Fatty's infuriating voice.
"Tsk tsk, Brother Jiang, you're not holding up!"
"How about it? If you can't stand it, just say the word, and Fatty here will slap it dead!"
