"Damn, there really is soone!"
Hearing the approaching footsteps, their mouths twitched uncontrollably...
At this mont, they were certain that it wasn't Hu Xiaobei who sensed it incorrectly, but that they themselves truly hadn't noticed anyone approaching...
"Looking at it this way, the gap between him and us is much larger than I imagined!"
After their eyes twitched, they made this judgnt.
Afterward, they turned their heads towards Hu Xiaobei and discovered that he looked the sa as before, his expression composed, clearly everything was within his expectations...
...
"Previously, we got news that the Lin Family had incredible luck this ti, acquiring an absolute genius. We were a bit skeptical at the ti, but now it seems to be true!"
As this was said, three elderly n with sowhat solemn expressions walked out from the woods not far away...
"Family Head?"
Seeing the three of them, Hai Tianshao and the others spoke out with slight bemusent.
The reason for their bemusent was that they truly didn't expect their Family Heads to appear here...
Because they hadn't received even the slightest news...
"Yes!"
Nodding gently, they looked at the three stunned individuals and explained calmly, "The reason we're here is because we received your ssage earlier and beca curious about this Hu Xiaobei. So we ca together to see who he really is!"
Upon hearing this detailed explanation, the three nodded lightly.
Earlier, they had transmitted all the information they knew about Hu Xiaobei back, naturally to let them have a better understanding of Hu Xiaobei...
They received the ssages and examined them closely.
After examining them, they were a bit surprised by Hu Xiaobei's strength.
It was for this reason that they were very curious about Hu Xiaobei.
So, they ca here directly, intending to personally see what exceptional ability Hu Xiaobei had that caused them such excited admiration.
...
"Greetings to the three Family Heads!"
Hu Xiaobei glanced at them and greeted them calmly!
Hu Xiaobei could sense the terrifying aura emanating from them...
Furthermore, if it wasn't for the Lin Family Head having a breakthrough with his help previously, he would truly be incomparable in front of them...
"No wonder the Lin Family was at the bottom of the Four Great Hidden Families!"
As Hu Xiaobei was thinking this, he heard their response!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Having said this, they continued to examine Hu Xiaobei...
Hu Xiaobei sensed their gaze, smiled, and t their eyes calmly...
Feeling Hu Xiaobei's calmness, they secretly praised.
"Calm in the face of change!"
They had always taught the young people in their family to remain calm in the face of change, but no one could truly achieve it, let alone reach the level Hu Xiaobei had now...
After examining him, they exchanged glances and directly turned to leave...
Hai Tianshao and the others were bewildered by their sudden turn...
Their mouths twitched, and they quickly spoke loudly.
"Family Head... you... what does this an?"
At this point, they were truly stunned...
Because things were fine just now, why did they suddenly leave?
"Exactly!"
Hearing this puzzled inquiry, they squinted their eyes and explained, "The reason we ca here initially was to see if Hu Xiaobei was qualified to be the team captain, and now it seems he absolutely is, so we are leaving."
Hearing this explanation, they nodded lightly.
They knew what the Family Head said was true, compared to them, Hu Xiaobei indeed had more credentials to be the captain...
"Captain Xiaobei, go and fight wildly! After you succeed, we'll host a celebration for you here."
"Sure, no problem at all!"
Having said so, Hu Xiaobei lifted his head, watching the three of them leave...
Once he was certain they had completely left, Hu Xiaobei turned to the three of them and said softly, "Alright, let's continue leading the way now!"
"Yes!"
They quickly responded respectfully.
At this mont, they were even more respectful towards Hu Xiaobei than before.
Because they knew even their Family Heads had acknowledged him, proving he truly had absolute strength.
...
"This Hu Xiaobei is indeed no commoner!"
"That's right!"
"I think so too!"
After walking so distance, the three stopped and from that mont on, they uttered sincere praises...
Previously, they had hidden themselves to probe Hu Xiaobei quietly, but even before they started probing, Hu Xiaobei saw through them...
From that ti, they knew Hu Xiaobei was truly extraordinary...
After appearing, they observed Hu Xiaobei for a long ti and discovered that he was indeed remarkable...
Because of this, he truly qualified to be the captain for this sparring session...
"If our family's mbers had strength comparable to Hu Xiaobei, then we would surely win this sparring session."
"Right! But that's too difficult!"
"Indeed!"
They all had informants over at The Valley of the Wicked, so they knew the people sent out this ti by The Valley of the Wicked were incredibly terrifying...
Honestly speaking, if Hu Xiaobei hadn't suddenly appeared, they truly intended to forfeit and let go of all the benefits...
But now with Hu Xiaobei, they were unwilling to forfeit directly...
Because they believed Hu Xiaobei had a chance to win back so benefits for them...
"Things have co to this point, it's aningless to say anything else, so let's just wait and see."
"Right!"
Realizing the current situation, they decided not to waste ti hesitating, preparing to quietly await good news...
They sincerely hoped the news they received would be good...
...
anwhile, Hu Xiaobei proceeded towards the forest ahead, led by them...
During the process, Hu Xiaobei learned more about The Valley of the Wicked from the three of them...
He also learned that The Valley of the Wicked had an Outer Valley and an Inner Valley.
The people he dealt with earlier were from the Outer Valley, and they weren't top-notch there either.
"This is quite interesting!"
After learning the intricacies of The Valley of the Wicked, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes and asked, "Have you encountered anyone from the Inner Valley before?"
"No!"
"Is that so! Then later on, we should get a good look at them together, let's hope they won't disappoint us."
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's intrigued response, they forced a bitter smile...
They had spoken in such detail with Hu Xiaobei earlier, hoping he would take it more seriously.
Now, they realized they were purely wasting ti because Hu Xiaobei hadn't ant to take it seriously at all.
"Perhaps that's just the confidence that cos with high skills!"
Thinking of Hu Xiaobei's terrifying strength, they pursed their lips and didn't dwell on the topic any further...
...
After passing through the forest, Qu Yan, who was at the front, looked at Hu Xiaobei and respectfully spoke!
"Captain, about a thousand ters ahead is the Dark Forest. Once we cross the Dark Forest, we'll reach the Outer Valley of The Valley of the Wicked."
With a leisurely expression, as if on vacation, Hu Xiaobei smiled interestingly upon hearing his words...
"The Dark Forest? I heard before that the Dark Forest never sees sunlight, is that the case?"
When Hu Xiaobei ntioned the eerie aspects of the Dark Forest, their expressions turned extrely solemn...
"Yes! The vegetation in the Dark Forest is very dense, blocking out the sun, hence the sunlight cannot reach down. Because of this, it truly never sees sunlight throughout the year. Due to this, many animals there have evolved to the point where their eyes have disappeared."
"Then we should pay a little attention later on!"
Thinking of the strangeness of the Dark Forest, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes...
The triennial sparring contest is hosted alternately by the Four Great Hidden Families and The Valley of the Wicked...
This ti, it's hosted by The Valley of the Wicked...
So to participate in the sparring, they must first safely reach the territory of The Valley of the Wicked...
On the way, if any of the four participants encounter danger, no one will intervene...
In simple terms, if it were the Four Great Hidden Families hosting this ti, then participants from The Valley of the Wicked would also have to make their way through risks...
This is actually a form of test and selection...
If they can't overco challenges on the road, then reaching the opposing territory would only bring humiliation to themselves...
