201 Heading To Mount Xiaoyao In Nanling

Wrapped in flames, the magical seed drew a line in the air.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a burst of fire pierced through the realm, shattering the space in front of it, leaving a thousand-meter-long ravine. The space became distorted as the ravine passed by, as though there were terrifying explosions of heat everywhere.

Time passed and night soon fell.

“I’ll continue tomorrow!” Shen Fei took a deep breath and walked out of the room.

Today’s event was too important to him. If he had not comprehended the profound truths today, it would not have been so easy for him to control the seeds.

…

The next day, Shen Fei woke up early. His phone was ringing.

Seeing the two words on the screen, Shen Fei answered the call and respectfully asked, “Principal, is there anything I can help you with?”

At this moment, a deep man’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “Shen Fei, our school has decided to let you lead the students to Mount Xiaoyao in three days to hunt beasts.”

Hearing this, Shen Fei frowned. “Principal, what do you mean by this?”

‘Mount Xiaoyao?!’

Mount Xiaoyao was the habitat of the most powerful demonic beasts in the Nanling Mountain Range. Legend had it that there were First-level vicious beasts here.

Although there was no lack of Emperor-tier Beastmasters in Nanling, they never set foot on Mount Xiaoyao. This was because the area was filled with danger. Even Heavenly Emperor-tier Beastmasters usually did not dare to set foot there rashly; even the more powerful Beastmasters could die there.

Shen Fei wanted to reject it. “Principal, what do you mean? I don’t have much time to manage the students.”

Instead of spending time managing the students, he might as well go to the mayor’s mansion’s cultivation room to cultivate! Moreover, there were many spirit stones there, which were far more valuable than ten thousand low-grade origin crystals.

“Hehe, I know you don’t want to manage the students, but this is an order from the teachers. I hope you can cooperate.” The principal on the other end of the line smiled faintly. “The academy will provide whatever spirit stones you might require.”

Hearing this, Shen Fei’s mouth curved up and he said, “…Free of charge? I wonder what the school is trying to do.”

The other person chuckled. “The school has a mission that they would like you to help them complete.”

“A Mission?” Shen Fei frowned. “What mission?”

The voice on the other end of the phone was cold. “Mount Xiaoyao in the Nanling Mountain Range has powerful spirit beasts. We hope you can hunt the strongest spirit beast and bring it back.”

“Bring back a spirit beast?” Shen Fei hesitated and said, “As far as I know, all the teachers in the school have returned without any success. I’m no exception.”

This made Shen Fei feel much irony. The instructors usually claimed to have vast experiences in beast taming, but they often failed such missions. Did they really think that they could dominate the field with their “experience”?

“That’s right, and we would reward you. As long as you help us hunt a powerful spirit beast, you can obtain five million low-grade origin crystals as a reward.”

“Five million low-grade origin crystals?” When he heard this, the corner of Shen Fei’s mouth raised into a smirk. Such a reward, to an ordinary person, was already considered a shocking amount of wealth.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Fei’s eyes flashed as he nodded and said, “Alright, I accept.”

Since this was a task assigned by the school, he had no choice but to complete it.

“Very good. Three days later, come to the academy’s east gate and wait,” said the person. “Prepare well during this period of time. We’ll be sending Emperor-tier Beastmasters to follow you to Mount Xiaoyao in three days.”

“Yeah.” Shen Fei nodded. Then, he hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Fei muttered, “I hope you won’t trick me again this time…”

…

Three days later, a military vehicle suited for traversing mountain terrain stopped in the campus square, where thirty students boarded it. On top of that, there were eight Beastmasters, all of whom were school instructors.

Shen Fei was also invited. He stood tall and straight, his face was resolute, and his eyes were shining.

When everyone had gathered, a female teacher in green clothes said, “Let’s go.”

This was Yang Xiaoxuan, a professor of the beast taming department in Nanling.

After hearing Yang Xiaoxuan’s words, many students got excited.

“Let’s go! We’re going to successfully hunt a powerful spirit beast this time!”

“Hehe, I must obtain that divine fruit!”

“I want one, too!”

Among these students, there were Li Yuan, Xia’er, and others.

At this moment, Li Yuan looked at Shen Fei who was standing at the side. At first, he was stunned, but soon, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

“Shen Fei, why are you here? How can a good-for-nothing like you come with us to Mount Xiaoyao?”

He looked at Shen Fei with disdain.

‘Hmph, he’s just a piece of trash! He’s dreaming if he thinks he can fight for that divine fruit!’

Beside him, Xia’er pouted. The other students also agreed.

Shen Fei did not care about everyone’s attitude. He shrugged his shoulders and said, “Hehe, this is the school’s wish. It’s a certain someone who, if he doesn’t have the ability, should try to stay away from me. Otherwise, I’m afraid I might accidentally hurt them. At that time, it’ll be our academy’s face that will be lost!”

Toward the end of his sentence, Shen Fei stared at Li Yuan with a pitiful expression. His words made the people around them laugh as they gloated over Shen Fei’s “misfortune”.

“This guy actually dares to mock Li Yuan. He’s really audacious!”

“Hmph!” Li Yuan coldly snorted. He glared at Shen Fei and said, “I hope you can come back alive after killing a powerful spirit beast.” Then, he flicked his sleeves, turned around, and got into the vehicle. Xia’er and the rest looked at Shen Fei with a sneer before leaving with Li Yuan.

Seeing this, Shen Fei shook his head. “…Idiots.”

This spirit beast hunt was a secret operation. The school only let a few people know about it. This was why Shen Fei felt that these people were very strange.

‘I hope I can successfully complete this mission and get a generous reward!’ he thought.

…

Soon, after everyone was seated in the vehicle, Yang Xiaoxuan announced their departure, “Let’s go!”

Honk! The horn sounded, and the military off-road vehicle whizzed away. When the vehicle drove out of the school, some of the new students were filled with anticipation.

“Mount Xiaoyao… Are there any powerful spirit beasts there?”

These were all outstanding talents selected from various beast taming academies in the city. There was no lack of Beastmasters among them. There were even geniuses who were extremely talented in cultivation. In fact, there were also some Beastmasters with unique physical characteristics.

All in all, this was a gathering of outstanding people.

…

After a while, the group arrived at Nanling Forest in the western area of Nanling. The trees here were lush, but a miasma lingered. Any ordinary beast that entered, though fierce, would have a 90% chance of dying.

This was also the place where the fierce beasts would wreak havoc in the Nanling Mountain Range.

“We’ve arrived at the mountain range. Now, according to the plan, we split up into groups and enter the mountains to find the spirit beasts,” Yang Xiaoxuan said as the car drove in.

Immediately, the twenty or so teams spread out and flew toward the mountain range. This was a secret operation, and the teachers had to follow them.
