Yu Wen Tuo nodded with satisfaction. Currently, out of four outstanding individuals, two refused, one pledged allegiance, and only the last one was yet to be swayed. It wasn’t long before the group that had gone to persuade Lin Feng returned to report.
"Reporting to Your Highness, Lin Feng... he has refused Your Highness’s kindness, and he also had some words for us to relay to you."
Instantly, Yu Wen Tuo’s expression became extremely sinister, and a fierce light flickered in his eyes.
"Speak."
The few individuals dared not delay and repeated exactly what Lin Feng had said. In reality, Lin Feng’s words were flawless and even modest, but to someone as narrow-minded as Yu Wen Tuo, the implied meaning became distorted.
Yu Wen Tuo’s face grew sour, "This Lin Feng truly does not know the honor bestowed upon him."
"That’s right, Seventh Prince. Xu Leiting has the backing of the number one clan in the world, so it makes sense for him not to agree to Your Highness. Hao Hai of Chen Country might also refuse due to identity issues, which is somewhat acceptable. However, Lin Feng, just a mere disciple of a small family, daring to refuse Your Highness? That truly is casting aside the face given!"
"Exactly, our Seventh Prince extended him an invitation to our group out of respect for him, yet he dared to refuse, claiming his strength was inadequate. I think he really believes he’s invincible in the world. Perhaps, he doesn’t even realize that our Seventh Prince is an outstanding figure of the Ninth Rank. After all, with our Seventh Prince keeping such a low profile, it’s easy for those with limited views to get too arrogant!"
A group of young men spoke indignantly as if Lin Feng had committed some unforgivable crime.
"Your Highness, why don’t you personally talk to him?"
Yu Wen Tuo squinted his eyes slightly, flashing a ferocious look at the young man, who immediately took a step back involuntarily.
"Hmph, although this guy has some abilities, he’s not worth my constant concern. If he dares to oppose me, just kill him. He’s merely of the Eighth Rank."
"That’s right, our Seventh Prince is a True Dragon’s son, whereas what is Lin Feng? At most, he’s just a grasshopper; what significance does he hold?"
"Exactly, our Seventh Prince will surely rank first in this assessment!"
Hearing the flattering remarks, Yu Wen Tuo revealed a smug smile, "Indeed, although I don’t care about this Lin Feng, since he has shown such confidence in disregarding me, if you encounter him in the mountains, deal him a fatal blow. I want him to know that whoever doesn’t support me, this time, I’ll ensure he doesn’t even make it to the top ten, let alone qualify for the Divine Wind Camp!"
Speaking thus, Yu Wen Tuo’s eyes revealed a sinister look. In heaven and on earth, I alone am supreme. Anyone who dares to oppose me, Yu Wen Tuo, either dies or lives a fate worse than death. There are no other options!
Time flew by, and soon most people had entered the mountain range. Lin Feng was one of the last ones to go in. He glanced at Yu Wen Tuo’s grand entourage and stepped into the forest alone.
He obviously knew that Yu Wen Tuo likely bore a grudge against him over such a trivial matter, and might even intend to deal him a fatal blow. However, Lin Feng was indifferent; he would counter whatever moves came at him.
"Yu Wen Tuo, this time, not only do I intend to rank first, if there’s a chance, I will take your life!"
Lin Feng’s eyes gleamed fiercely. What Seventh Prince, it didn’t matter. Anyone who harbored ill intentions towards him, Lin Feng, would be utterly eradicated, regardless of whether they are unparalleled geniuses or nobles.
"The only trouble is I don’t know if there are Hidden Guards in the mountain range protecting Yu Wen Tuo. If so, they really would be challenging to deal with, as they are all of the Earth Martial Master rank."
Lin Feng furrowed his brows, without these Hidden Guards, killing Yu Wen Tuo wouldn’t be hard, but was that possible?
A Prince traveling outside, how could he possibly not have several Hidden Guards following him?
"Forget about Yu Wen Tuo for now, let’s focus on hunting Demon Beasts first. This trial is a feast for me, for my Demon Dragon Star!"
Lin Feng revealed a slight smile.
"The trial only lasts for three days, use the time well to slaughter."
Lin Feng dived directly into the dense forest. This mountain range was the Royal Family’s Hunting Garden, filled with lush vegetation and towering trees, whose canopies shaded the sun and sky, and roars of Demon Beasts echoed constantly by his ears.
Here, the strongest were generally Demon Generals. Should any Demon Phase stronger than a Demon General appear, they would be slain by the protectors maintaining this Hunting Garden, after all, not every disciple of the Royal Family was strong.
Thus Lin Feng was fearless and unrestrained, utterly unconcerned about attracting Demon Beasts.
Swish
Soon, a green snake suddenly poked its head out from the trees, striking as fast as lightning. Clearly, this snake had been lurking here for a long time. Lin Feng immediately used his Ling Xu Move to dodge and turning around, he saw the snake coiled on a thick branch, raising its head and flicking its purple-red tongue, its fist-sized eyes emitting a cold bluish sheen.
"Green snake, the most common venomous snake, their strength ranges between Seventh Rank Demon Beasts and Fifth Rank Demon Generals. This one, by its size, is clearly an adult over a dozen inches long, probably around a Third Rank Demon General."
Lin Feng instantly assessed the strength of the green snake, which was also observing him, possibly taking Lin Feng more seriously because he had dodged its lethal strike.
Demon Beasts were not all unevolved creatures; they all possessed rudimentary intelligence, and in some species, their intelligence could match that of humans.
Swish!
However, this green snake had clearly not eaten in days, seeing no flaws in Lin Feng, it could no longer resist its hunger, it opened its ghastly large mouth, and a disgusting fishy wind assaulted his face.
Lin Feng held his breath, not because it was poisonous, but because it was indeed fucking stinky. Facing the attack, he didn’t retreat but advanced, soaring like a roc spreading its wings, a white crane flashing its wings, leaping up and landing on the green snake’s head with a hammering punch.
With that hit, a cracking sound of the snake’s head splitting was heard, the big green snake instantly lost its combat ability.
Just a Third Rank Demon General, a mere Martial Master Third Layer in strength, Lin Feng could kill it as easy as turning over his hand.
He dug out its Demon Core and immediately activated his Demon Dragon Star, instantly absorbing the essence blood of the big green snake.
Lin Feng pondered carefully, muttering, "Swallowing less than twenty more should allow me to step into the Sixth Grade."
Thinking of this, Lin Feng lingered no longer, leaving behind the dried-up corpse of the big green snake, he swiftly took off.
