Jian Chen shook his head, “How would it be easy? These are magical beasts that were bred by the academy, so they have weak attack power. When we meet magical beasts with a stronger attack, then we will definitely have a harder time with it.”
Liang Xiaole nodded her head and said grimly, “That’s right. I’ve heard my dad say before that there are some amazing Class 1 Magical Beasts that can spit out some low level spells with a high amount of attack power. They’re so strong, that some normal Saints aren’t powerful enough to beat them.”
Jian Chen looked at Tie Ta, who was focusing on the campfire, “Tie Ta, right now there isn’t anything in the 2nd region that could stand a chance against us, so I want to move to the 3rd region. How do you feel about that?”
Tie Ta gave it some thought before saying, “Right, the 2nd region is already very easy for us since there isn’t a challenge anymore. Okay then, Changyang Xiang Tian, I’ll enter the 3rd region with you. It’s time to see how strong the Class 2 Magical Beasts really are.”
Hearing the two talk, Liang Xiaole who was sitting nearby said, “It can’t be, you two haven’t reached the Saint level and you still want to enter the 3rd region to fight Class 2 Magical Beasts? Without a Saint Weapon, there’s no guarantee of survival, and the skin of a Class 2 Magical Beast is stronger than that of Class 1 Magical Beasts, so it’s even tougher. You two only have a worn battleaxe and corroded iron rod, so that’ll make killing even harder. Not only that, but the environment in the 3rd region isn’t good at all; I’ve heard that there’s even a marsh filled with poisonous vipers inside. There’s a high chance you of losing your lives in the dangerous 3rd region.”
Tie Ta laughed as he looked at my weapon, “That’s right, Changyang Xiang Tian, over these past 2 days, our weapons have been in constant use, and my battleaxe has lost its sharpness. Even your own iron rod is almost flat, so it would be hard to kill Class 2 Magical Beasts.”
Jian Chen laughed, “There’s no rush, there are still plenty of students in the 2nd region. We still haven’t met with other students because we’re still far away from them. We should return tomorrow, and exchange monster cores for weapons, since the students would be definitely interested.”
“Yea, that’s a good idea,” Tie Ta nodded in agreement.
Jian Chen continued, “Liang Xiaole, let’s split up tomorrow. If you’re with other students, then you should be able to safely pass through your last day. After all, anyone who has been able to endure 2 days here must have some real skills.”
Liang Xiaole nodded wordlessly. Her expression was a bit disappointed; after all, she also knew of the 3rd region’s dangers. She was unsure if Jian Chen and Tie Ta would be able to go against those magical beasts. If she continued along with them, even if Jian Chen and Tie Ta agreed to let her accompany them, she would only be a baggage that would hold them down.
The night passed without incident. Soon, the sky began to brighten. Jian Chen and Tie Ta finished their night of cultivation, and began to prepare breakfast.
After the three of them had finished eating, the sun had already gradually began to rise into the sky. They continued on their way; however, this time, they had begun walking back in the direction they had come from.
After two days of battles, the two boys had already become extremely skilled at sensing and avoiding danger, so it didn’t take long for them to arrive at their destination.
Under a large tree, nine students in tattered clothing were tiredly sitting underneath, catching their breaths. They were a group of commoners mixed with some nobles. At the moment, their clothes were ripped all over the place, with some dried out bloodstains covering them as well. They also sported injuries on their bodies, and not far from them was a carcass of a magical beast lying on the ground.
