Chapter 104: Are You Out of Your Mind?

"What? A Winged Tiger? Are you out of your mind?" Mu Enqing almost jumped in disbelief as he looked at Tang San and Wu Bingji standing before him.

Wu Bingji looked at Tang San with a sense of helplessness in his eyes as if to say, See, I knew it would be like this.

Tang San, however, remained calm and seriously said to Mu Enqing, "Teacher, aren't you there to watch over us in secret? What's the point of choosing a target that we know for sure we can beat? Because the opponent is powerful, we can feel the pressure and get better. Our cultivation levels aren’t really there yet, but if we coordinate well, then we can definitely take on a seventh-order opponent." This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Although Mu Enqing had been persuaded by Tang San the day before, he hadn't expected Tang San to be so audacious as to set his sights on a Winged Tiger.

"Kid, do you realize what a Winged Tiger is? An adult Winged Tiger is seventh-order, but eighth-order ones exist as well. Hell, they can even reach the ninth order if they’re lucky and they cultivate long enough. Can you predict what order the Winged Tiger you encounter will be? These creatures can fly, and their flying speed is quite formidable. If you can't fight it, you won't even be able to run away. Choosing a Winged Tiger isn't training; it's more like trying to die an early death. You say you’ve gathered some teammates, did they agree to this?"

Tang San responded calmly, "It would be hard for them to agree considering I haven't told them which demonic beast we will hunt. They'll find out when we find it."

“......”

Mu Enqing's gaze toward Tang San changed significantly, reflecting a mix of surprise and admiration. You're such a daring child. At nine, you're setting out to slay the Winged Tiger. What will you do at nineteen? Challenge the Ancestral Court?

Just then, a stern voice came from outside. "Your bravery is admirable, yet bordering on folly."

Guan Longjiang strode in, his gaze sharp as he looked at Tang San. "Truly the fearlessness of the young and inexperienced. Are you not afraid that this is a march toward death?"

Tang San replied, "We will take good care. Besides, aren't the teachers secretly protecting us? You can't just reap the benefits without risk. I don’t think any truly strong person became strong just thanks to luck. Teacher Guan, this is a shortcut to awaken everyone's bloodline power, and awaken it fully. There are risks, of course, but as long as we are careful and well-prepared, I am very sure that we can manage."

"Nonsense, do you expect all the teachers to accompany you? We might as well do the combat training at the academy and beat you up ourselves, why wait for a demonic beast?" Guan Longjiang retorted, clearly annoyed.

At that moment, another voice spoke up. "Let them go."

Guan Longjiang said helplessly, “Well, I guess all we can do is be careful. You’ll also have to prepare. Although demonic beasts are unable to reach the god level, you’ll still need to be vigilant.”.

Zhang Haoxuan shook his head. "You absolute armadillo! Sometimes, you are just too cautious. I’ll be honest, I really felt Tang San's words. To do extraordinary things, to allow these children to confront the demon and nymph clans in the future, we can’t just train them in theory. If we don’t test those theories in real life, then what’s the point? Even if there are casualties along the way, as long as the final result is good, the experience we gain is precious, and it's all worth it."

Guan Longjiang smiled and retorted, "That's easy to say, but it hasn't been easy for us to accumulate this much power and these great students! Anyway, you're the boss, so I'll listen to you. Should we invite Elder Si to come along?"

Zhang Haoxuan shook his head. "No need. We need him to stay here and take care of things. There might be trouble if he leaves this area."

Classes, cultivation, meals, cultivation. The day hurried by.

The team members confirmed by Tang San silently left the academy early the following day and gathered at the mountainside.

Wu Bingji, naturally, was the team leader.

The five took advantage of the faint dawn light and quietly headed toward the Kali Mountains.

Wu Bingji led the way, followed by Gu Li. Cheng Zicheng activated her Demonic God Transformation and flew low above them. Du Bai was in the middle, with Tang San bringing up the rear. The five of them were very familiar with the path, so they entered the mountain range and quickly disappeared into the jungle.

As the morning classes began, Guan Longjiang suddenly realized that things were off.

"Hey, what's going on? Where are Du Bai and Gu Li?"

He hadn't asked Tang San and Wu Bingji yesterday about who they were taking with them. In his view, his good disciple, the senior brother of the academy, was always calm and wouldn't act recklessly. They were going to hunt a Winged Tiger, so they would naturally choose the strongest students as teammates.

But, early this morning, as classes began, he discovered that was not the case at all. In addition to the two stars, Cheng Zicheng, Du Bai, and Gu Li had also left.
