“Of course, to hunt spiritual beasts!” Ye Wushuang said with a smile, “In the Hundred Nations’ Martial Contest, the top seven spots are determined by spirit points. Time is of the essence, and I don’t have time to stay here and nurse your wounds!”
He had rescued Su Jinyue in the first place because he wanted to ask about the Lingjian Pavilion. Naturally, it was time to leave now.
Su Jinyue couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated. Was this guy blind to the fact that she was a beauty? He seemed to lack any appreciation for beauty whatsoever.
“My injuries are almost fully healed!” Su Jinyue stood up, her beautiful eyes looking at Ye Wushuang earnestly, “Would you… be willing to cooperate with me?”
“Cooperate?” Ye Wushuang looked Su Jinyue up and down and couldn’t help but say, “Although your appearance is quite stunning, being at the Seventh Level of the Yuanfu Realm… your cultivation level is a bit lacking.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jinyue felt a surge of anger. “You’re only at the Sixth Level of the Yuanfu Realm yourself.”
“That’s true, but you saw clearly how I killed those people earlier,” Ye Wushuang said directly, “Even though I’m at the Sixth Level of the Yuanfu Realm, there might not be anyone at the Yuanfu Realm level who can defeat me!”
Su Jinyue immediately retorted, “I didn’t lose to Du Ruyun, Du Rufeng, and the others. I was chased by Du Mingxing, Du Mingyue, Gu Ruochen, Feng Chengyu, and Feng Yiran. These individuals are no weaker than some of the prodigies from the Seven Great Sects…”
Feeling belittled by Ye Wushuang, she naturally felt不服气 (indignant).
“So what do you mean by cooperation?” Ye Wushuang stopped and asked.
Su Jinyue quickly said, “Within this tributary of the Youlong Mountains, spiritual beasts are also divided into regions according to their ranks. The ones you’ve been hunting recently are probably all second-rank spiritual beasts, right? You haven’t encountered any third-rank spiritual beasts, have you?”
Ye Wushuang nodded.
“Third-rank spiritual beasts possess the strength of the Tiangang Realm. How could they live in the same area as second-rank spiritual beasts?” Su Jinyue continued, “I know which areas have third-rank spiritual beasts. Moreover, the regions where low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade third-rank spiritual beasts live are different. I can take you there.”
“If we cooperate, hunting low-grade third-rank spiritual beasts should not be too difficult.”
Ye Wushuang looked at Su Jinyue with a skeptical expression.
Su Jinyue, feeling agitated, said, “I come from Lingjian Mountain, one of the Seven Great Sects. I have some rare treasures that can greatly enhance our combat power.”
Su Jinyue had never imagined that she would be so doubted when she wanted to cooperate with someone. After all, within Lingjian Mountain, countless prodigies had wanted to team up with her, but she had always refused!
And yet, this young man in front of her was actually disdainful!
How outrageous!
Ye Wushuang looked at Su Jinyue and then said, “Lead the way!”
“Are you agreeing to cooperate with me?”
“Hurry up and lead the way. I don’t like beating around the bush.”
“What a spoilsport.”
The two figures immediately left the valley. Su Jinyue took the lead, and along the way, they encountered some gatherings of second-rank spiritual beasts, which Ye Wushuang casually dealt with to earn spirit points.
After half a day, they stopped in front of a mountain range forest. The mountains here were more majestic than the surrounding ones, and the vitality within the forests was also scarcer.
“This is the place!” Su Jinyue tightly gripped a black dagger in her hand and whispered, “Be careful. There are quite a few low-grade third-rank spiritual beasts gathered here.”
“We’ll look for the ones that prefer to live alone. If we encounter a group, remember to run quickly.”
“Okay.”
The two entered the dense forest and soon discovered several cave openings at the foot of a high mountain. Each cave entrance was ten zhang (a traditional Chinese unit of length) high, and many spiritual plants grew around the openings.
Third-rank spiritual beasts, with the strength of the Tiangang Realm, are not unintelligent. They naturally choose their living places with some unique characteristics.
“It’s the territory of the Gale Spirit Lion!” Su Jinyue whispered, “The Gale Spirit Lion is a low-grade third-rank spiritual beast, with varying strengths from the first to the third level of the Tiangang Realm. You lure the enemy, and I’ll take the lead in attacking!”
“I should take the lead…” Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but say.
“I will!” Su Jinyue’s delicate eyes stared at Ye Wushuang, her tone leaving no room for argument.
Having been belittled by Ye Wushuang, she was now determined to prove her strength!
Ye Wushuang shrugged and said nothing.
Su Jinyue then took out two black spherical stones, the size of ox eyes, and handed them to Ye Wushuang, saying, “Hold these two Black Thunder Pearls. Lure the Gale Spirit Lion out of the cave and throw them. They should at least cause serious injuries. I’ll then attack, and you just assist me from the side!”
“Alright!”
With that, Ye Wushuang tightly gripped the two Black Thunder Pearls and walked step by step towards the cave entrance.
*Whoosh, whoosh…*
Low, heavy breathing sounds rang out at this moment, and an intimidating aura burst forth, making one’s heart race.
At the cave entrance, a pair of deep, dark eyes shot out a cold light.
The Gale Spirit Lion, towering at seven to eight zhang tall, had massive paws as big as fans. Each step it took exuded a terrifying pressure.
And there was not just one!
Three Gale Spirit Lions, sensing the讨厌的 (annoying) human presence approaching, all emerged from their respective caves.
Upon seeing a human youth standing at the cave entrance, the three Gale Spirit Lions all looked at him with disdain in their eyes.
Ye Wushuang looked at the three Gale Spirit Lions, feeling the fierce pressure from the spiritual beasts, and raised an eyebrow.
He then threw the Black Thunder Pearls directly.
