In the vast mountain forest, Su Mo kept his eyes in all directions and his ears tuned to every sound. As he hunted demonic beasts, he also searched for traces of Wu Kui and the others.
Along the way, Su Mo also came across several disciples hunting demonic beasts alone.
These disciples were not highly cultivated, all at Qi Cultivation Level Seven or Eight. Upon seeing Su Mo openly displaying his cultivation aura, they immediately scattered in panic like startled birds.
Su Mo found it somewhat speechless, but he did not pursue them. Robbing them held little meaning for him.
So far, Su Mo had collected nearly one hundred and fifty Demonic Cores of Level 1 Tier 7 and above.
One hundred and fifty Demonic Cores—such an achievement would absolutely rank among the best of the new disciples.
However, each of the Four Great Geniuses, including Wu Kui, had recruited quite a few disciples. Their speed of obtaining Demonic Cores surely far surpassed Su Mo's.
Therefore, only by robbing them could Su Mo claim first place in this trial.
If the other disciples learned of Su Mo's thoughts, they would probably think him insane, just as Li Feng had.
