Chapter 9 First Encounter with a Ferocious Beast

Ye Ningze babbled a lot of nonsensical pleasantries like a string of beans. Mo Wentu was completely bewildered and instinctively shook hands with Ye Ningze.

At this moment, a teacher nearby couldn't stand it and spoke directly, "Alright, no more noise. The trial is about to begin!"

Ye Ningze had no choice but to shut his mouth, leaving a bewildered Mo Wentu behind.

At this time, Ye Ningze's heart was filled with excitement: Dao of the Blade talent A+! Such talent is not encountered everywhere!

Although the teacher said the trial was about to begin, there was still some time. This was because they also needed to send experts to investigate whether the area was safe. They dared not be careless with these students.

Ye Ningze found a secluded spot behind a car and fused Mo Wentu's Dao of the Blade talent into himself.

Although this fusion was still somewhat painful, it was not as unbearable as before.

The pain subsided in just a few minutes.

Ye Ningze checked his talents.

Race: Human.

Cultivation Talent: B-grade.

Special Talents: Dao of the Blade Talent A+, Flame Talent A.

Ye Ningze was very excited about this.

This was the talent he had always wanted to possess.

Lin Haitao, seeing Ye Ningze return with a look of excitement, couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"What's wrong, Ye Ningze? Did something good happen? You're so excited."

Ye Ningze waved his hand gently and said, "It's nothing much."

At this moment, the teacher on the stage was explaining the precautions for the trip to the students below.

"Although there won't be any major dangers on this trip, you will still be facing fierce beasts. Even low-level fierce beasts are still fierce beasts, so you must not be careless."

"Using the tokens you cut from the fierce beasts as proof, each person's token can be exchanged for a certain amount of points."

"The person ranked first will receive ten portions of fierce beast blood and a cash prize of two hundred thousand yuan. The person ranked second will receive five portions of fierce beast blood and a cash prize of one hundred thousand yuan. The person ranked third will receive ten portions of low-level fierce beast blood and a cash prize of fifty thousand yuan. The person ranked fourth will receive ten thousand yuan!"

"Ten portions of intermediate fierce beast blood!"

Upon hearing this number, Ye Ningze's breathing quickened, as did that of the students from various academies below.

After all, such a reward was definitely a huge sum for them, enough to drive them mad.

However, they also knew that to obtain so much money, they had to achieve the best results in the trial.

Therefore, they were not flustered at all.

The teacher continued to explain: "The main purpose of bringing you here is to help you improve your strength and strive to stand out in the trial, so you must work hard! If you encounter any problems, report them to us immediately, and we will rush to resolve them as soon as possible!"

Hearing the teacher's words, the students nodded in unison, indicating that they understood.

Then the teacher said to the students below again: "Alright, I now announce that the trial has begun. Please try your best to maintain the vital energy within your bodies, so that you can resist when you encounter a crisis and avoid being trapped.

Remember, if you can't persevere, don't push yourself, otherwise, it's very easy to get into danger!"

Yes!

With that, the teacher waved his sleeve and turned to leave.

The students from various academies, guided by their instructors, entered the training grounds.

The training ground was called Sunset Forest, and its actual area was not large.

By the time everyone entered Sunset Forest, it was already late.

Ye Ningze said to Lin Haitao, "Let's find a place to rest first. It's almost night, and it won't be good if we run into the encirclement of fierce beasts. Also, there are many nocturnal fierce beasts. If we are surrounded by these guys, we will be in a passive situation."

Alright!

Lin Haitao nodded and agreed with Ye Ningze's statement.

Then, the two of them sprinted towards the outside of Sunset Forest.

There is a mountain peak here with a cave. We will rest here for one night and continue our journey after dawn tomorrow.

Okay! Ye Ningze nodded in agreement.

The two found a relatively open hillside, and then Ye Ningze sat cross-legged on the giant rock at the cave entrance to keep watch, while Lin Haitao entered the cave to clean and inspect it.

As soon as Lin Haitao stepped into the cave entrance, he immediately sensed a scorching aura emanating from in front of him.

Immediately, a shadow, so fast that he couldn't see it clearly, suddenly lunged towards Lin Haitao!

Instantly, Lin Haitao sensed a deathly aura that made his spine chill washing over him!

Although Ye Ningze was behind him, his reaction was quicker than Lin Haitao's.

Ye Ningze directly drew the long saber on his back and fiercely met the charging fierce beast!

The saber and claws collided, and dazzling sparks suddenly flew out. Lin Haitao, startled, retreated two steps and fell to the ground. Only then did he see the true form of the fierce beast in front of him: it was a low-level Rock-patterned Demon Leopard!

Such fierce beasts are known for their speed. Although their defense is not high, their speed is extremely fast and their attack power is very strong!

This was Ye Ningze's first time facing such a fierce beast, and he was a little nervous.

At this moment, Ye Ningze held his dark long saber and confronted the Rock-patterned Demon Leopard. The leopard seemed to sense that the person in front of it was not simple, and for a moment, it did not attack immediately. Instead, it crouched on the ground and kept growling.

However, its growls were filled with a strong sense of threat.

Seeing this, Ye Ningze took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He kept reminding himself: Don't worry, this is my first time hunting prey, and I don't have much experience. As long as I'm careful, I won't make any mistakes. Moreover, I'm quite confident in dealing with this low-level fierce beast!

Just then, the Rock-patterned Demon Leopard suddenly let out a more intense growl.

This time, Ye Ningze finally clearly felt the dangerous aura emanating from the Rock-patterned Demon Leopard, and he was startled.

However, he quickly reacted, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he held his long saber and slowly walked forward a few steps, then let out a deep roar, suddenly leaped up, and the long saber flashed like lightning, heading straight for the Rock-patterned Demon Leopard's chest.

The Rock-patterned Demon Leopard roared and fiercely swung its claws towards Ye Ningze's head.

Ye Ningze, who had already advanced to the rank of a beginner martial artist, reacted swiftly.

He gritted his teeth, released the saber hilt with his left hand, and blocked the leopard's lightning-fast strike. Then, he pushed the long saber with his right hand and fiercely slashed towards the Rock-patterned Demon Leopard's neck.

When confronting fierce beasts, it's all about meeting on a narrow road, and the brave one wins!

Facing such a crisis for the first time, Ye Ningze suddenly realized that he had no fear of death in his heart at all. Instead, it was filled with intense excitement.
