Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Hunting Demonic Beasts

Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range!

As soon as the words were spoken, the faces of some young geniuses changed dramatically.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range is filled with monsters and is quite dangerous, and one could lose their life at any moment.

However, although the youths felt fear in their hearts, not one of them withdrew.

The path of cultivation is fraught with thorns and obstacles; how could it be smooth sailing?

Seeing that no one backed out, the voice continued, ”Good, now I will announce the rules for this trial!”

Wow!

On the high platform, a burst of light like meteors erupted and quickly flew into each person’s hand.

Ye Qingchen instinctively grabbed it, and that beam of light turned out to be a jade token.

”Upon entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, every monster you kill will earn you a certain amount of points!”

”The lower the monster’s cultivation level, the fewer the points. Conversely, the higher the points!”

”This time, as long as you earn a hundred points, you will qualify. The trial time is six hours, and after six hours, return here to have your results assessed!”

”Only those who qualify can enter the third stage!”

Ye Qingchen’s eyes moved slightly.

These points don’t seem like much, but in reality, it is not so.

Due to innate advantages, in a fight, monsters have the upper hand.

Moreover, because the time is short and the number of monsters is limited, there will inevitably be competition among the participants.

This is the biggest variable!

”Next, the assessment begins!”

With the voice speaking again, the young geniuses in the square, who had been eagerly awaiting, rushed out without any hesitation and charged toward the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

Watching those young ones leaping out, Ye Qingchen also put away the token, took a deep breath, and quickly followed.

Thousands of people ran wildly, stirring up clouds of dust.

Before long, a vast mountain range appeared in front of them.

In the mountains, dense forests rose high, dark and deep. From time to time, terrifying roars of monsters echoed throughout the mountains.

Ye Qingchen’s speed did not decrease, like a nimble swallow, he jumped onto the treetops, continuously using them to propel himself as he searched for monsters hidden in the woods.

At a certain moment.

A Golden Ringed Demon Snake appeared in Ye Qingchen’s sight.

The snake was seven to eight yards long, covered in golden scales, with fangs several meters long, exuding a powerful aura.

Its territory was filled with scattered bones, countless creatures had met their end in the snake’s belly.

”Hiss!”

Seeing Ye Qingchen intrude into its territory, the Golden Ringed Demon Snake let out a hiss and darted towards him like lightning.

Ye Qingchen’s eyes sharpened, and he raised his sword for a slash.

The sword’s edge cut through the snake’s vulnerable spot, and with a scream, the snake was sliced into two halves, falling from mid-air. After a slight struggle, it perished.

”Only one point?!”

Looking at the number on the jade token, Ye Qingchen’s eyebrows twitched.

But upon reflection, it made sense; this Golden Ringed Demon Snake was only at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, so the points were naturally not high.

”It seems to get more points, I have to venture deeper into the forest!”

Putting away the jade token, Ye Qingchen shifted direction and plunged deeper into the forest.

Moments later.

Ye Qingchen encountered a ’Cyan-striped Leopard Demon’ at the Qi Refining Twelfth Layer.

This leopard demon was nearly two yards long and incredibly fast. When Ye Qingchen encountered it, it was baring its fangs, tearing into a young genius.

The young genius had his throat bitten off, ending his life.

Upon seeing Ye Qingchen, the leopard demon immediately abandoned the dead genius and lunged at Ye Qingchen.

”Let’s test my strength!”

He had always been unsure of his physical strength.

With a thought.

Ye Qingchen met it with his fist.

”Boom!”

As fist and claw collided, a dull thud reverberated.

Ye Qingchen’s body only swayed slightly, while the Cyan-striped Leopard Demon was sent flying backward like a sword, retreating seven to eight yards before stopping.

”After being tempered by starlight, my physique is indeed strong!”

Seeing the leopard demon he repelled, Ye Qingchen was quite satisfied.

”Encore!”

Ye Qingchen immediately advanced, continuously pounding with his fists, forcing the leopard demon to retreat repeatedly.

In no time, the leopard demon was battered, its skin was bursting; if not for its thick skin, it would have been dead.

At the same time, Ye Qingchen understood the strength of his body.

Just as he was about to finish off the leopard demon, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the side.

”You worthless thing, can’t even handle a Cyan-striped Leopard Demon, let me handle it!”

As he spoke, a burst of Vast Sword Light suddenly appeared, enveloping the leopard demon in an instant.

”Slash!”

Right there, the leopard demon was torn apart by the sword light.

Countless flesh and blood shot out like rain in all directions.

The opponent succeeded with one sword, then flickered away directly into the forest.

”Damn it!”

Watching the opponent’s figure, Ye Qingchen’s eyes turned cold.

Though Ye Qingchen didn’t know the opponent, he had seen him before.

The opponent was a young genius who had been following Lu Ming earlier.

Though Ye Qingchen was indignant, he didn’t lose his composure.

He understood that wasting time any further would be futile.

Glancing at the shattered corpse on the ground, Ye Qingchen plunged deeper into the forest.

”Young Master Lu, I succeeded! That kid must be fuming!”

Not far into the forest, someone entered quickly and laughed.

In this forest, there were also seven or eight figures.

At the forefront was none other than Lu Ming!

”Sun Xuantong, you did well!” Lu Ming nodded with satisfaction.

Sun Xuantong said coldly, ”Young Master Lu, rest assured! Next, we’ll have someone keep an eye on him. As long as he kills a monster, we’ll snatch it so he won’t be able to kill a single monster and will be eliminated in this round!”

”Don’t worry, you’ll all be rewarded accordingly!” Lu Ming laughed.

Sun Xuantong was overjoyed upon hearing this and cupped his hands, ”We will not fail!”

Following this.

These people acted several more times.

Each time, they suddenly robbed the monsters about to be slain by Ye Qingchen at the critical moment, leaving Ye Qingchen with nothing time and again.

Until yet another Qi Refining Twelfth Layer Cyan-headed Tiger King was snatched away, Ye Qingchen’s expression turned completely cold.

He was now certain that these people were deliberately targeting him.

They even intended to deny him the chance to pass the trial!

”Stealing my prey?” Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes, anger gathering within them.

He had no enmity with Lu Ming, yet they repeatedly targeted him.

”Since that’s the case, let me play with you! Stealing prey? Who can’t do that?”

With that thought, Ye Qingchen lightly tapped his toes and disappeared from where he stood.
