Asuka Hana’s eyes revealed a look of firm conviction, clearly once she had made a decision, she wouldn’t change it easily.
"I’ve said it, follow if I tell you to follow , and once I make a decision, I definitely won’t change it. Just as soon as we get through this forest, we’ll be even, and neither of us will owe the other!" Asuka Hana declared.
Ye Feng, feeling helpless, hadn’t expected Asuka Hana to be so persistent. After briefly pondering, Ye Feng nodded, "Alright, then I will join you..."
Ye Feng didn’t want to beco too entangled with Asuka Hana. He knew she had her own stubbornness, and if he didn’t let her repay her debt of gratitude, she would undoubtedly create more trouble for him.
So, Ye Feng agreed to Asuka Hana’s terms, at least there would be no further entanglent between them once they left the forest.
Then, Asuka Hana turned to Ye Feng and said, "Stay close to . Once we enter the forest, who knows what dangers we might encounter. You must be careful and vigilant, understand?"
"Mhm!" Ye Feng responded in a nonchalant tone, and soon after, the two of them entered the forest together.
After they had entered the forest, Asuka Hana said to Ye Feng, "Stay behind . If you can’t keep up with my pace, just tell and I will do my best to accommodate your speed."
"Uh-huh..." Ye Feng still had a calm expression as he uttered a single word.
Next, Asuka Hana led Ye Feng deeper into the forest. As a Middle Innate Grandmaster, her speed of movent was naturally unmatched by ordinary people. Although she had already slowed down, her speed through the forest was still very swift.
At first, Asuka Hana was worried that Ye Feng wouldn’t be able to keep up with her 30% speed, but to her surprise, Ye Feng easily matched her pace.
Asuka Hana and Ye Feng weaved through the forest non-stop. Asuka Hana estimated that at their current speed, it would take them no more than five or six hours to completely cross the forest.
Twenty minutes passed quickly, and Asuka Hana and Ye Feng’s pace hadn’t slowed in the slightest.
Asuka Hana glanced sideways at Ye Feng, who was following behind her, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
She hadn’t expected Ye Feng to keep up so easily; his breathing hadn’t beco the least bit ragged, and his deanor remained relaxed and in control, showing no signs of fatigue.
Such endurance would be impressive even for a martial artist at the Great Perfection stage of Inner Strength, let alone for Ye Feng, who exhibited no hint of struggle despite being only at the initial stage of Inner Strength.
As Asuka Hana and Ye Feng moved swiftly, they occasionally encountered dangerous creatures like venomous insects, but Asuka Hana, with her True Essence unleashed, easily dispatched these threats.
Before long, an hour had passed, and Asuka Hana was surprised to find that Ye Feng still showed no signs of tiredness. His face was the picture of ease, and his breathing remained incredibly steady.
A hint of admiration flashed in Asuka Hana’s eyes; it seed Ye Feng wasn’t as fragile or weak as she had assud. At the very least, his physical endurance was quite impressive.
"Roar~~" Just then, roars of wild beasts echoed from all around the forest.
The entire forest teed with ferocious creatures.
Asuka Hana simply released her Grandmaster pressure, True Essence leaked out, and waves of energy rippled from her being.
Nearby beasts, feeling Asuka Hana’s oppressive aura, naturally beca wary and dared not approach her and Ye Feng. This way, Asuka Hana saved them the need for battle.
If any beast dared to co closer, it would an that the creature’s strength had reached at least the level of an Innate Grandmaster.
"We’re about to enter the core of the forest," Asuka Hana said. "The heart of the forest is extrely dangerous, and we are very likely to encounter battles. So we must hasten our steps. Do you need to rest for a while before we continue?"
"No need..." Ye Feng’s face remained unfazed as he lightly spat out two words.
"Fine! I hope you can still remain so calm and collected when the ti cos!" Asuka Hana’s tone carried a hint of anger.
For so reason, Ye Feng’s serene appearance irritated Asuka Hana deeply, making her feel uncomfortable. Ye Feng seed too self-assured, yet he was only a martial artist at the early stage of Inner Strength.
This made Asuka Hana feel that Ye Feng had no appreciation for the true danger of the forest, deeming him far too arrogant. Thus, she increased her own pace to 40% as they headed toward the heart of the forest.
Asuka Hana thought to herself that if Ye Feng truly encountered danger, she would only save him at the most critical mont. That way, Ye Feng would be even more grateful to her and would also recognize that he had greatly underestimated his own capabilities.
Soon, half an hour passed.
Yet Ye Feng still appeared relaxed, closely following Asuka Hana without even a hint of breathlessness, surprising Asuka Hana while also casting doubt on Ye Feng’s real strength.
By all accounts, even a martial artist at the stage of Great Perfection of Inner Strength would start to feel the strain of moving non-stop at her pace, but Ye Feng continued to look calm and at ease, showing no signs of pretense.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle~~~"
Right at that mont, a rustling noise ca from within the bushes, and Asuka Hana’s brows furrowed, her gaze alert.
"Whoosh!" A giant wild wolf leaped out from the underbrush, its eyes blood-red, staring intently at both Ye Feng and Asuka Hana, revealing a hunger in its gaze.
The wild wolf was over three ters long and around 1.6 ters tall, significantly larger than a normal wolf.
