The night was very dark. Without the moonlight, nothing could be seen, but for a cultivator who had condensed his power, it was nothing. They were used to using night vision to find the path they were about to take in the dark.
Walking in the forest, Duan Chenfeng was surprised to find that in the Psychic Spell, the power of wind was to increase the speed of the spell, and the power of water was to increase the energy condensed by the True Core Strength. Then, what did the power of ice increase? Duan Chenfeng was slightly looking forward to it. If he could cultivate all three types of psychic techniques, would he really be able to obtain a brand new spell?
At this moment, Duan Chenfeng suddenly felt an extremely powerful energy fluctuation slowly approaching him. This energy didn't seem like True Core Strength or Immortal Spiritual Energy, but a very special kind of energy. After a few life-and-death battles, this situation immediately put him in an extremely vigilant state. He slowed down and walked carefully, ready to react to any sudden events.
Finally, in the darkness, a pair of monsters that were flashing with a faint green light slowly approached. Duan Chenfeng had already seen what was coming in front of him. It was a type of demonic beast called the Piebald Mystic Tiger. Its body was three times larger than an ordinary tiger. There was a strange pattern on its fur that covered its entire body. Demonic beasts were extremely powerful. They specialized in attacking self-cultivators and some small demonic beasts, absorbing their True Core Strength to improve their own abilities.
What made Duan Chenfeng curious was why the Piebald Mystic Tiger would appear here. He had walked around the mountains before, but he had not encountered a single Mountain Spirit. Now, this Piebald Mystic Tiger, which was quite powerful, had appeared here. Could it be that someone had deliberately let it out?
Duan Chenfeng learned from the books in the library that mountain spirits were a very common demon beast a thousand years ago. They were also ordinary things that had cultivated for many years in places with rich spiritual energy. At that time, there was no cultivation method in the world. When people encountered demon beasts, they could only run away. Later, after the mysterious man taught them the cultivation method, the self-cultivators began to attack demon beasts crazily in the Divine Continent. As a result, there was not a single demon beast in the Divine Continent. Only some lucky ones escaped and disappeared from the world, hiding in the cold ancient forest.
The Piebald Mystic Tiger moved at a very fast speed. It suddenly pounced towards Duan Chenfeng. This speed might be really fast in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, but it was useless to Duan Chenfeng who had mastered several mantras. The Illusory Step carried the power of wind, allowing him to easily dodge the opponent's attack. The Piebald Mystic Tiger's attack missed its target and it began to roar. Its body emitted a faint purple light.
When Duan Chenfeng saw the Piebald Mystic Tiger glaring at him, he knew that it was preparing to attack with all its might. The Void Sword Qi quickly shot out in the direction of the Piebald Mystic Tiger. A loud sound broke through the night sky, and the Void Sword Qi accurately landed on the Mystic Tiger's body. The Mystic Tiger's body only trembled slightly, and the Void Sword Qi attack disappeared. Duan Chenfeng was slightly surprised. He didn't expect the fur of a demon beast to have such a strong defense. No wonder all the self-cultivators in the world were mobilized to kill the demon beast a hundred years ago. It was obvious that the attack and defense of the demon beast were extremely difficult to deal with.
This time, the Mystic Tiger was truly enraged. It raised its front claw and a purple energy sword flew towards Duan Chenfeng. The energy sword was very fast and powerful. Duan Chenfeng knew that he was no match for it, so he dodged again and left his original position. Following that, the Mystic Tiger launched no less than ten energy sword attacks, but Duan Chenfeng easily dodged all of them. The Mystic Tiger roared towards the sky again before leaping towards Duan Chenfeng's body. He wanted to use his claws to tear Duan Chenfeng into pieces.
How could Duan Chenfeng fall for his trick? He kept using Illusory Steps to escape from the Mystic Tiger's pursuit. Thus, such a scene appeared in the forest. A big tiger with strange patterns chased a young man in a white robe angrily from one mountain to another. Its speed was so fast that it surprised people. Their afterimages were left in the air. The young man would occasionally turn around and smile at the tiger, but he did not attack.
Just like that, the Mystic Tiger chased after Duan Chenfeng for an entire night without catching up. It was already powerless to chase after him. It stood angrily by the side and drank water. Duan Chenfeng stood beside it and smiled slightly. The sky was already bright. Duan Chenfeng knew that it was time for him to leave. He looked in the direction of the Mystic Tiger and said loudly,""Mystic Tiger, I don't know where you came from or what you're doing here, but I hope you won't attack anyone else and cultivate here in peace!”With that, he left in a flash and walked down the mountain.
The morning sun had yet to shine on the ground, and the forest was covered in white fog. After Duan Chenfeng left, a middle-aged self-cultivator appeared beside Mystic Tiger. He patted Mystic Tiger's head and said,""Little Xuan, you did well."
The Mystic Tiger leaned his head against the self-cultivator's side as if he was enjoying what his master had just said. He looked in the direction where Duan Chenfeng had left and sneered,""What a kind child." At this point, he lowered his head and said to the Piebald Mystic Tiger beside him,"Let's go! Let that kid live a few more days.”With a flash of white light, the tiger and the man disappeared into the forest.
After arriving at World City, Duan Chenfeng found out that the new year would be in half a month. At this time, Sherri and the others should still be attending classes at the Royal Academy! This time, he did not dare to use the jade pendant to send a voice transmission to Sherri. What if she skipped class to see him again? Duan Chenfeng arrived outside the courtyard unsteadily. He didn't open the door and appeared in the courtyard in a flash. To his surprise, Li Yun and Liu Ke were talking in the guest room. He asked in confusion,"Why aren't you in class today?"
Demonic beasts were ferocious and undefeatable.
Duan Chenfeng instantly summoned the Soul-Attracting Magic Flute and held it in his hand. He looked at the Piebald Mystic Tiger in front of him warily, ready to attack at any moment. The Piebald Mystic Tiger also stared at him, ready to take the food in front of it. Duan Chenfeng knew that this was an adult Piebald Mystic Tiger. A self-cultivator like him was its favorite food. It was his first time meeting such a demonic beast, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he wasn't afraid.
When Li Yun and Liu Ke heard someone talking, they were shocked at first and looked around vigilantly. When they saw that the person who spoke was Duan Chenfeng, they were first surprised because they did not realize how Duan Chenfeng had appeared here. Before the two of them could speak, Xu Wanqing ran out excitedly after hearing the voice. When she saw that it was indeed the person she missed, she quickly came to Duan Chenfeng's side and said bitterly,"Why are you only back now?"
Duan Chenfeng knew that he had cultivated for a long time this time, so he said apologetically,""I forgot the time when I was cultivating, so I came back late.”
Xu Wanqing was not angry to begin with. After hearing Duan Chenfeng's apology, it was even more impossible for her to be angry. She smiled slightly and said,"If you don't come back, Teacher will bring us to you.”
"Teacher brought you to me?" "Why me?" Duan Chenfeng asked in confusion.”
"Isn't there a challenge after every semester?" Xu Wanqing replied. A few days ago, a student from the ordinary class asked to compete with you. You couldn't refuse.”
Duan Chenfeng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He thought it was something big! So it was just a small matter. He said indifferently,"Since he wants to compete with me, then let's compete. When do we compete?”
" Three days later," Xu Wanqing said," on the school's dueling platform, the top ten students of the regular class can go up and compete with you if they want to."”
"Alright then!" Duan Chenfeng suddenly thought of Big Fatty Chen."Why are the two of you here? Where's Fatty? Could it be that he went out on a date with Shen Xiaojie again?”
When Li Yun heard Duan Chenfeng mention Big Fatty Chen, he became particularly excited."It's not just a date. They've already broken through the realm of dating?”
When Li Yun smiled, even Liu Ke, who had always been slow and honest, also smiled. Xu Wanqing quietly held Duan Chenfeng's hand and smiled without saying a word. Only Duan Chenfeng was baffled. He asked curiously,"Breaking through the realm of dating, what realm is that?”Duan Chenfeng, who was in a relationship for the first time, did not understand the meaning of Li Yun's words. He was also considered half a love idiot. He only had one view on love. No matter what happened in the future, the person he loved could not leave her.
"He has already brought Shen Xiaojie home to meet his parents," said Li Yun.”After saying that, he laughed loudly.
"Ah!" When Duan Chenfeng heard this, his first reaction was that it was so fast. Her second reaction was to look down at Xu Wanqing and mutter,""Shouldn't we visit your parents too?”He had said this because he wanted to go back and see Xu Wentian and Yuan Xin, but it was inevitable that people would misunderstand him if he said it on this occasion.
When Xu Wanqing heard this, she understood it as another meaning. Her face instantly turned red as she looked at Duan Chenfeng bitterly, blaming him for being too direct. Fortunately, Li Yun was a smart person. When he saw Xu Wanqing's face turn red, he understood what was going on. He pulled Liu Ke, who was beside him, and ran away, leaving them alone.
After Duan Chenfeng returned, he didn't go to the Royal Academy to look for Daoist Priest Cang Yun, nor did he go to see Instructor Kree and Instructor Qian Gu. He had been accompanying Xu Wanqing all this time. Such a time was pleasant and happy. Liu Ke and Li Yun also left the courtyard on the second day after Duan Chenfeng returned. They didn't have the chance to challenge the students of Special Class One, so there was nothing else for them to do if they stayed. Therefore, they went home first to prepare for the new year. The three days passed very peacefully. Nothing happened. Duan Chenfeng continued to cultivate at night and accompanied Wanqing during the day.
Three days later, Duan Chenfeng and Xu Wanqing arrived at the school early in the morning. They went to the library first, but unfortunately, the library was already closed. Just as Duan Chenfeng was about to leave in disappointment, Daoist Priest Cang Yun appeared in front of them. He looked at Duan Chenfeng and Xu Wanqing, smiled slightly, and said with satisfaction,"Not bad. I finished cultivating in less than three months. It's faster than I thought.”
Duan Chenfeng looked at Daoist Priest Cang Yun and replied respectfully,""Senior, I'll go to the Land of Ice as soon as possible and finish cultivating the power of ice.”
Daoist Cang Yun nodded and said," Cultivation isn't something that can be achieved in a day or two. Remember, don't be impatient. Let nature take its course."”At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and said,"You're here today to deal with the competition, right? If you don't want to go, then don't go."
" No," Duan Chenfeng replied." Since others want to challenge me, I'll still go out of courtesy."”
"Alright then! It's about to start. Go ahead! If there's anything, you can come and find me." Daoist Priest Cang Yun left after saying that.
Duan Chenfeng and Xu Wanqing arrived at the school's dueling platform. The side of the dueling platform was already surrounded by students. Their appearance caused a commotion. Many boys 'eyes changed when they saw Xu Wanqing. They looked a little wretched, but there were still some people who just glanced at her indifferently and looked elsewhere.
"The most beautiful girl among the new students of the Royal Academy has arrived.”a boy said excitedly.
"Where is it?" A group of students asked.
"It's really Xu Wanqing. Who's the boy beside him?”another boy asked.
"He is Duan Chenfeng." Beside them, a boy who was some distance away from them said contemptuously. His voice was a little cold, and he was extremely disdainful of the noble student in front of him. He was handsome, especially his eyebrows, which were thick and heavy. Under his eyebrows was a pair of eyes that seemed indifferent to everything, full of vigor.
A few aristocratic students who were discussing heard someone speak, and the tone of the voice was filled with disdain for them. Then, they wanted to open their mouths and curse. However, when they saw the person who spoke, they all shut their mouths and stopped talking.
Who was this person? He could actually make the usually arrogant noble students so afraid.
"Duan Chenfeng, the number one expert among the freshmen.”The person next to the boy who had just spoken asked.
"Yes." The boy's voice was still as cold as ever.
"Are you going to challenge him today?"
"Yes."
This person was the number one expert in the ordinary class. With his cultivation, he could definitely enter the special class to cultivate. However, he hated the children of the aristocrats and was unwilling to learn and cultivate with them. Therefore, he deliberately hid his strength during the test and chose the ordinary class with more commoners.
Later on, he heard that a commoner self-cultivator had obtained the first place in the special cultivation class. He was a little surprised. When he knew that Duan Chenfeng had obtained full marks in the test, he wanted to get to know Duan Chenfeng even more. Unfortunately, Duan Chenfeng had been reading books in the library ever since school started. Later on, he went to cultivate in secret, so he didn't have the chance to get to know Duan Chenfeng.
Later on, he knew that as long as he could achieve outstanding results in all the classes in the regular class at the end of the semester, he could challenge any student in the special class. This time, he did not hesitate to challenge the friend he wanted to know the most-Duan Chenfeng.
In the eyes of others, he only smiled coldly when they thought he was crazy.
The dueling platform was more than three meters tall and several hundred meters wide. It was constructed from the sturdiest bluestone. The entire dueling platform was covered with dozens of defensive formations, so that it would not be damaged by the students in the powerful competition. Duan Chenfeng arrived below the stage. The young man who had spoken just now jumped onto the stage in a flash. He clenched his fists and said loudly to the people below,"I'm Zhou Liang from the freshmen's ordinary class six. I'd like to challenge Duan Chenfeng from the special class one.”
Duan Chenfeng nodded at Xu Wanqing. With a flash, he appeared in front of Zhou Liang. His incomplete image echoed in the air. The students beside him, regardless of whether they were freshmen or seniors, all cried out in surprise when they saw Duan Chenfeng's ruined camp. Of course, Zhou Liang was the most surprised. He had just felt a wave of energy fluctuation in the air when the other party's figure had already appeared. Could he defeat such a movement technique? The answer was no, without a doubt.
At this moment, a person that Duan Chenfeng was familiar with appeared on the competition stage-Instructor Qian Gu. After Teacher Qian Gu arrived on the dueling platform, he smiled at Duan Chenfeng and said solemnly,""Student Zhou Liang, as the number one student of the Ordinary Class Six this semester, you have the right to challenge any expert from the Special Class One. Are you sure you want to challenge Student Duan Chenfeng?”
Zhou Liang glanced at Teacher Qian Gu, then looked at Duan Chenfeng and said firmly,""I'm sure."
" Alright," said Qian Gu." Now, I'll announce that the first challenge for the freshmen will begin. Zhou Liang will challenge Duan Chenfeng."”With that, he flashed to the side of the dueling platform and prepared to watch. To the surprise of countless students, Instructor Qian Gu actually stood beside Xu Wanqing. It was unknown whether it was intentional or not. However, whether it was intentional or not, he was scolded by the man beside him thousands of times in his heart.
Duan Chenfeng knew that he had no choice. In any case, the result would be a fight. When he came, he thought that this was a meaningless competition, but when he saw his opponent, he changed his mind. Duan Chenfeng had never thought that Zhou Liang was also an expert at the Force Condensation stage. Unfortunately, he had challenged the wrong person. The difference in True Core Strength between him and Zhou Liang was too great.
