"Luo Feng, this is too dangerous. The strength of the Blue Fla Evil Wolf is equivalent to a Martial Artist in the early stages of the Sixth Layer God Bravery Realm, and it’s extrely fast. We stand no chance against it." Li Yun did not want Luo Feng to take risks.
Luo Feng knew that Li Yun certainly wouldn’t believe him without a demonstration of his abilities. With the Tiger Soul Saber slung across his back, he smiled at them and said, "Watch carefully."
Li Yun and Hong Shuan, faces full of doubt, had no idea what Luo Feng was about to do.
Turning, Luo Feng focused on a giant tree a hundred ters away. Gathering sixty percent of his strength, he executed the Teng Dragon’s Step and shot forward.
WHOOSH!
Li Yun and Hong Shuan saw only a rapidly flashing silhouette. In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng had appeared on the giant tree a hundred ters away.
"One hundred ters in an instant, what amazing Light Martial Arts!" Hong Shuan’s eyes widened, sparkling with shock.
Li Yun nodded and said with admiration, "It’s not just amazing; his Cultivation in Light Martial Arts is even superior to our Senior Brother."
"Senior Brother!" Hong Shuan was taken aback. Their Senior Brother was the top student at the Cyan Leaf School, his Cultivation having reached the peak of the Sixth Layer God Bravery Realm. She hadn’t expected Li Yun to rate Luo Feng so highly.
SWISH!
Luo Feng swooped back to his original position, looking at the two of them. "The most terrifying thing about the Blue Fla Evil Wolf is its speed. With my Qinggong Cultivation, I won’t be at a disadvantage. Defeating it won’t be difficult."
Hong Shuan looked at Luo Feng with a trace of envy and pouted, "Are all students from the four major academies this strong?"
"Of course not. Luo Feng’s Cultivation definitely stands out among the students of the four major academies," Li Yun laughed.
"Then we can pick that Spirit Mist Grass, right? It’s a second-grade Spiritual dicine. If we auction it off, it’s worth at least two hundred thousand silver!" Hong Shuan exclaid, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Of course." Luo Feng nodded.
「...」
The three of them walked for so distance through the forest, the terrain gradually rising around them.
"Luo Feng, after a few hundred more ters, you’ll see a slope. The Spirit Mist Grass grows at the top. Besides the Blue Fla Evil Wolf, there should be two Blue Fla Giant Wolves nearby." As they moved silently through the dense forest, Li Yun’s voice was sowhat nervous when she spoke.
Luo Feng smiled faintly and asked, "Can you two handle the two Blue Fla Giant Wolves?"
"Two Blue Fla Giant Wolves? I can handle them alone." Li Yun nodded and asked, sowhat bewildered, "Are you planning to face the Blue Fla Evil Wolf by yourself?"
Luo Feng nodded. "You two just need to hold off those two Blue Fla Giant Wolves. Leave the Blue Fla Evil Wolf to ."
After witnessing Luo Feng’s ghost-like speed, Li Yun no longer thought he was boasting. Moreover, her and Hong Shuan’s Cultivation in Light Martial Arts was quite ordinary, making it difficult for them to pose a significant threat to the Blue Fla Evil Wolf.
"Be careful. If sothing goes wrong, we’ll leave imdiately," Li Yun advised.
Luo Feng nodded. Through the dense forest, the three could already see the slope ahead. Several large shadows were moving back and forth on it. They all held their breath.
The slope was small, only a dozen ters high. Two Blue Fla Giant Wolves were pacing back and forth near the foot of the mountain.
On the mountainside, a monstrous wolf with a body covered in blue fur was curled up. This giant wolf was even larger than the Blue Fla Giant Wolves, towering over three ters—a true behemoth!
ROAR!
As soon as Luo Feng and the others approached the foot of the mountain, the Blue Fla Evil Wolf suddenly opened its eyes. Its blue pupils flickered with a chilly light. It glared at the trio, and as it let out a roar, the entire slope trembled!
WHOOSH!
The three giant wolves charged simultaneously!
"It has detected us! I’ll deal with these two Blue Fla Giant Wolves! Luo Feng, the Blue Fla Evil Wolf is up to you!" Li Yun swiftly drew the slender sword from her waist and charged the two nearest Blue Fla Giant Wolves.
"Green Mountain Rains!"
Her elegant voice echoed at the base of the slope as her sword morphed into an incessant rain of slashes. The dense flurry of sword light poured out like a tide, leaving bloody wounds on the two Blue Fla Giant Wolves. The two beasts howled continuously, forced back and struggling to advance.
"Senior Sister, I’ll help you! Beasts, taste my sword!" Having narrowly escaped the Blue Fla Giant Wolves’ claws earlier, Hong Shuan now hated them intensely. Seeing an opening created by Li Yun’s attacks, she naturally wouldn’t let it pass and lunged at the two Blue Fla Giant Wolves with her sharp sword.
Seeing that the two of them had no problem handling the two Blue Fla Giant Wolves, Luo Feng withdrew his gaze. With a leap, he soared towards the mountainside like a great roc.
ROAR!
This Blue Fla Evil Wolf was the King of this part of the forest. Its territory had been continually violated, and now all its fury was focused on Luo Feng. With a roar, it emitted a terrifying Evil Qi and lunged at him, its speed like lightning. Its claws, gleaming coldly, aid to tear Luo Feng to shreds!
Luo Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. He let out a cold snort and punched forward with all the force of an Angry Tiger Coming Out of the Cave, striking the Blue Fla Evil Wolf’s sharp claws!
BOOM!
A blast of wind erupted, and the ground beneath Luo Feng’s feet cracked and splintered. The Blue Fla Evil Wolf’s massive body was sent flying by his punch, smashing a crater into the slope.
As the Blue Fla Evil Wolf struggled to get up, Luo Feng swept forward in a flash, instantly closing the distance. The Tiger Soul Saber, carrying imnse pressure, slashed down.
CRACK!
The Blue Fla Evil Wolf’s head, as large as a water cask, was split open, revealing the pale white brain matter within.
ROAR!
The Blue Fla Evil Wolf struggled unwillingly for a mont, its limbs twitched, and then it died.
At this mont, the two Blue Fla Giant Wolves were also covered in wounds. Li Yun let out a soft shout.
"Cloud Covering Green Mountain!"
SWISH!
Like a flash of lightning, her sword plunged directly into the eye socket of one Blue Fla Giant Wolf. With an upward flick, the sword tip pierced through the top of its head.
With one Blue Fla Giant Wolf slain, the other fell to Hong Shuan and Li Yun’s combined attack in less than two exchanges, its throat slit.
Li Yun wiped the sweat from her brow, preparing to help Luo Feng with the Blue Fla Evil Wolf. But as she looked up, she saw the Blue Fla Evil Wolf’s corpse and Luo Feng standing beside it, looking completely at ease.
"Is it dead?" Li Yun was slightly taken aback.
Hong Shuan stuck out her tongue and looked at Luo Feng with a hint of admiration. "Senior Sister, he killed the Blue Fla Evil Wolf in just two moves."
At this mont, Luo Feng ca down the hillside and saluted Li Yun with clasped fists. "The Green Mountain Swordsmanship of the Cyan Leaf School is indeed as renowned as they say."
Li Yun shook her head with a wry smile. "Luo Feng, stop teasing . I don’t have the strength to kill a Blue Fla Evil Wolf."
Luo Feng touched his nose. "Just a bit of good luck."
"Haha, whether it was luck or not, we have you to thank this ti," Li Yun laughed.
Her impression of Luo Feng was quite good. Although his Cultivation wasn’t high, his understanding of Martial Arts was incredibly profound; it was no overstatent to call him a genius. Moreover, despite his youth and such strength, he wasn’t complacent or discouraged, nor did he possess the arrogance she’d seen in other so-called geniuses, who often looked down their noses at people.
"The Spirit Mist Grass is at the summit! Let’s go!" Seeing that the threat was gone, Hong Shuan ran giddily up the slope.
Luo Feng and Li Yun exchanged a glance, shook their heads with a smile, and followed.
The entire slope was barren, covered in exposed rocks, but the summit was surprisingly lush with thriving ferns—a peculiar sight.
In the midst of this greenery, an eye-catching plant, barely half a foot tall and shrouded in mist, stood out. The entire plant resembled translucent jade.
"Huh, this Spirit Mist Grass is strange. I rember the instructor said Spirit Mist Grass has four-lobed leaves, but these leaves actually have six lobes," Hong Shuan crouched beside it, puzzled, and said.
"Let see." As if recalling sothing, Li Yun hurried over, only to exclaim, "This isn’t Spirit Mist Grass—it’s Rain Heart Grass!"
"Rain Heart Grass? Senior Sister, are you sure you’re not mistaken?" Hong Shuan asked, visibly excited.
Li Yun examined the plant carefully, then nodded and said, "It’s definitely Rain Heart Grass. Spirit Mist Grass has four-lobed leaves, while Rain Heart Grass has six-lobed leaves. Also, Spirit Mist Grass absorbs the surrounding Yuan Qi and grows in very dry, lifeless environnts. Rain Heart Grass, however, gathers Yuan Qi. Look at this slope—only here do plants thrive. This is undoubtedly Rain Heart Grass!"
"It’s really Rain Heart Grass! Senior Sister, we’ve struck it rich!" Hong Shuan exclaid, clenching her small fists in excitent.
A smile also appeared on Luo Feng’s face. Though Spirit Mist Grass was precious, it could only be used dicinally and was worth around two hundred thousand silver. Rain Heart Grass, on the other hand, could gather Yuan Qi. So large families specifically collected Rain Heart Grass to cultivate it for their younger generations. If sold at auction, it could fetch as much as seven hundred thousand silver!
"We should leave here first," Luo Feng looked around and said.
Li Yun nodded. This was the Black Moon Forest, ho to countless Demon Beasts. Previously, no other Demon Beasts had ventured into this part of the forest because the Blue Fla Evil Wolf resided here. Now that the wolf was dead, the heavy scent of blood in the air was certain to attract other Demon Beasts.
Carefully digging up the Rain Heart Grass, the three of them started down the slope.
Once they had descended the slope and reached a clearing in the woods, Li Yun asked Luo Feng, "Do you want this Rain Heart Grass?"
Luo Feng shook his head. Although Rain Heart Grass could gather Yuan Qi, the effect of a single plant was quite limited.
Li Yun nodded and said, "The Rain Heart Grass, if auctioned, should fetch about seven hundred thousand silver. Luo Feng, you contributed the most, so you should take five hundred thousand silver. Hong Shuan and I will each take one hundred thousand. How does that sound?"
Hong Shuan had no objections. If not for Luo Feng, she and Li Yun would have already perished under the claws of the Blue Fla Giant Wolves. Besides, Luo Feng had killed the Blue Fla Evil Wolf all by himself.
With a wave of his hand, Luo Feng laughed and said, "You two discovered the Rain Heart Grass. You should take it; don’t worry about giving anything."
Luo Feng was considering introducing Li Yun to his elder brother. Once Li Yun married into the Luo Family, they would all be one family. He wouldn’t care about this small amount of silver.
"That won’t do," Li Yun shook her head.
Seeing Li Yun insist, Luo Feng thought for a mont and replied, "Alright, how about this: I’ll take three hundred thousand silver, and you two can split the remaining four hundred thousand. If you still don’t agree, I won’t take any of it."
"Alright then." Li Yun nodded, adding, "We don’t have that much silver on us right now. We can only give it to you after we’ve auctioned the Rain Heart Grass."
"I’m not in a hurry. After you sell the Rain Heart Grass, deliver the silver to in Panlong City."
Luo Feng was considering how to arrange a eting between Li Yun and his elder brother. Naturally, he wouldn’t pass up this opportunity.
Unaware of Luo Feng’s intentions, Li Yun nodded her agreent.
"Wait!" Luo Feng suddenly paused, looked back, and announced in a low voice, "Soone’s coming!"
RUSTLE, RUSTLE...
As his voice fell, a flurry of hurried footsteps echoed from the dense forest. Figures erged from the trees, swiftly surrounding the three of them.
