In the dense jungle, Jiang Chen’s figure flickered as he swiftly maneuvered through the trees.
He had already entered the area dominated by late-stage Grade Five magical beasts, and Jiang Chen dared not fly in the sky anymore. If he were encircled by a large number of beasts, that would be troubleso.
While flashing and maneuvering, Jiang Chen’s divine sense rapidly scanned the surrounding area, searching for a suitable opponent.
"Found it!"
Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up with joy, the corners of his mouth curved upwards, and he swiftly leaped in one direction.
"What is this kid doing? He’s been darting back and forth in this forest for over an hour. If it weren’t for your Changling Main Court’s examination, and our suppression of the beasts’ temperants, he would have been attacked by the beasts long ago!"
In the Central Region, Jin Peng frowned slightly, a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, as he glanced at Su Ruoyun.
Su Ruoyun said plainly, "Take a good look at his movent trajectory."
"Movent trajectory? He’s just like a headless fly, crashing around. But he’s been lucky enough not to run into a single beast in over an hour."
Jin Peng pursed his lips and casually looked at the light screen.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a subtle fluctuation emanated from Shi Yan’s body, quickly spreading towards the late-stage Grade Five area.
"Shi Yan!"
Su Ruoyun frowned and spoke sharply.
"That kid is a bit strange. He shouldn’t have avoided running into any beasts for such a long ti. I had to check; it won’t affect him!"
Shi Yan explained gruffly.
Su Ruoyun slightly relaxed upon hearing this. Although she was here to oversee the situation, preventing the four rulers of this Demonic Beast Forest from affecting the academy examination, she knew that if these four really wanted to make a move, she couldn’t stop them. It’s just that they’ve always been cooperative over the years, and she’s rely here for formality.
However, what was originally an easy task had beco tense with Jiang Chen’s arrival.
After all, the issue of the beasts’ territories was caused by the arrival of the Life Origin Star’s powerful cultivators in ancient tis. Although those powerful souls sought to save the Void Nether Realm, it doesn’t exclude the possibility that so beasts with Spiritual Intelligence harbored resentnt against Life Origin Star’s people.
Buzz!
Shi Yan’s divine sense went out quickly and returned just as fast, and within a breath, all dispersed sense was retracted.
"All intentionally avoided?"
Elder Shi turned to look at Shi Yan.
"That kid does have so ability. His divine sense has been kept at a distance of five hundred and fifty ters, right where late-stage Grade Five beasts have the minimum territorial awareness."
Shi Yan was slightly taken aback and nodded lightly, "With our suppression, those late-stage Grade Five beasts will only attack cultivators who enter within five hundred ters of themselves. He managed to avoid them all! Looks like he’s trying to find a suitable beast to target."
"Oh?"
Jin Peng paused for a mont and said in surprise, "This kid has such ability? I’m slightly looking forward to seeing what kind of beast he’s aiming for."
Slightly more attentive, Jin Peng continued to watch the light screen.
"Is that... the Golden Armored Wind Leopard? Why would he target such a beast? The Golden Armored Wind Leopard is a rare beast innately possessing the ability to integrate Great Dao comprehension. Among Grade Five beasts, it’s top-tier, generally even opponents at the peak of Grade Five aren’t its match!"
After a while, when the figure in the light screen stopped, everyone followed his gaze and instantly recognized which beast’s territory it was.
Amidst the forest.
Jiang Chen landed on a giant tree, gazing five hundred ters ahead where, under another large tree, reclined a fearso, giant leopard-shaped creature drenched in golden radiance.
"The aura of the Dao of Wind and the Golden Path? Even beasts possess integrated Great Dao?"
After carefully probing the Golden Armored Wind Leopard’s aura, Jiang Chen murmured in surprise, then softly chuckled, "Perfect, it has speed, strength, and from the faint golden glow emanating from its fur, its defense should be good too. It’s just right!"
Swoosh!
A cold gleam appeared; Jiang Chen extended his hand, revealing a Spiritual Longsword in his grasp. His figure flickered as he charged toward the Golden Armored Wind Leopard.
Roar!
A furious beast roar erupted as the Golden Armored Wind Leopard sensed soone invading the periter of its endurance zone, and imdiately roared in an attempt to repel Jiang Chen.
Yet leaving was not Jiang Chen’s plan, so how could he retreat?
Instead of withdrawing, Jiang Chen closed in further on the Golden Armored Wind Leopard, his Spiritual Power surging to its maximum. The Great Dao Divine Light shimred faintly across his body, adjusting his state to optimal readiness!
Roar!
Seeing the intruder resist, the Golden Armored Wind Leopard roared with anger. Earlier, terrifying pressure from the Center imposed a sudden restriction in its mind, preventing it from sensing past five hundred ters.
This infuriated the Golden Armored Wind Leopard imnsely.
Although the Golden Armored Wind Leopard lacked significant Spiritual Intelligence, its instinct to seek fortune and avoid calamity remained. That fearso pressure was beyond resistance, leaving it obedient, not daring to move.
Thus, Jiang Chen and others could freely seek their desired beasts upon entering the Demonic Beast Forest. Otherwise, normally, this forest would be overrun by free-roaming beasts, not stationary in regions awaiting adversaries.
But a beast is still a beast. High-level ones might possess clear Spiritual Intelligence, comparable to magical beasts capable of opposing Unity Realm Stage cultivators. They understand that every fifth year heralds a grand sweep, urging them to remain near the Center without venturing out.
Yet beasts like the Golden Armored Wind Leopard lack significant Spiritual Intelligence. Although its perception suffered suppression, compelling it to stay in its den, if soone entered its region, reaching within its perception, it would inevitably frenzy. Coupling suppressed rage, the Golden Armored Wind Leopard was now explosively furious.
Swish!
The Golden Armored Wind Leopard morphed, instantly vanishing from its spot, rapidly charging toward Jiang Chen.
Outside the forest, Hu Yiqiu and others furrowed their brows, alert posture maintained, well aware of the Golden Armored Wind Leopard’s formidable prowess. Even Divine Infant Realm Peak cultivators face hardship against it; it’s the most difficult beast among Grade Five, without exception.
However, what confused them was why Jiang Chen sought it out, yet dared not lower their guard.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, Li Qingzhu’s figure flickered, vanishing from the spot, reappearing monts later with two Changlin Academy Divine Infant Realm Early Stage students.
"What happened?"
Dao Yeming opened his eyes and looked at the two students.
Though their energies were locked onto the students, attention remained absent until sensing mortal danger, demanding explanations from them for precise accounts.
