Yang Chen slowly walked out of the cave dwelling. For some reason, after obtaining the Azure Dragon Five Tiger Sword, he felt an urge.
An urge to properly test this Spirit Grade longsword!
It was like a child getting a beloved toy and wanting to have a good play with it.
"Let's find somewhere to try it out!"
Yang Chen's eyes flickered slightly. Then he sprang through the mountains like a swift swallow, his body as light as a feather as he soared through the forest.
In one part of White Tiger Mountain.
Yang Chen swung his sword. White and blue light flashed in turns, and a massive sword aura burst forth from the Azure Dragon Five Tiger Sword.
Like a crescent moon, it unleashed a terrifying force that ripped through everything in an instant.
Boom!
The ground split open with a huge gash. Before Yang Chen stood an A-Class bear-type Spirit Beast. It thrust its black paw forward, hoping to rely on its body to withstand the terrifying strike.
But how could a mere A-Class Spirit Beast possibly withstand such a fearsome blow?
Whoosh!
The sword aura effortlessly tore through the black bear's chest before striking a towering ancient tree.
The sword aura cleaved through the tree as well!
"What a sharp sword!"
Yang Chen exclaimed.
His eyes remained fixed on the Azure Dragon Five Tiger Sword.
As for the black bear's core, Yang Chen couldn't be bothered to give it a second glance. He casually put it away without even Devouring its ability. After all, some abilities were simply too useless for him to bother with.
Yang Chen's standards for abilities were gradually rising. Ordinary abilities no longer caught his eye unless they were exceptionally rare or special.
The A-Class weapon ability belonging to that Island Nation person was one such example. Yang Chen had chosen not to absorb it only because he didn't want a staff-type weapon.
He placed the black bear's core in the Space Ring, then headed out of White Tiger Mountain.
By then, two of the three days had already passed. Yang Chen had gained quite a lot during that time.
Clearly, shutting himself away and refusing to venture out wouldn't help him improve. Only through practice could he grow!
Admittedly, there hadn't been many battles, but he had still accumulated plenty of experience.
At the very least, Yang Chen now had a better understanding of the world of abilities.
White Tiger Mountain was vast, but it didn't take Yang Chen long to leave. The mountain's mist greatly obscured his vision, but it was far less dense in the sky. Yang Chen controlled the power of Gale and took flight, soaring out of White Tiger Mountain.
In the distance, the black sedan came into view.
Though it looked no bigger than a tiny black dot, it proved that he was headed in the right direction.
Yang Chen finally breathed a little easier. To be honest, he had a terrible sense of direction—he was practically a hopeless case.
Now that he had found the right way, he could get out of the mountain quickly.
Meanwhile, the black-clad middle-aged man Elder Wang had ordered to wait outside White Tiger Mountain glanced at his watch, then looked toward the entrance from time to time.
Two days had passed. Just one more day, and he could return and report back.
At that moment, Yang Chen landed some distance away from the black-clad man. He didn't want to reveal that he also had the Gale Ability. He couldn't protect himself in the world of abilities just yet, so the less he revealed, the better.
Who knew whether the black-clad man might secretly tell someone else?
Then, under the black-clad man's watchful gaze, Yang Chen slowly emerged from the entrance.
Only when he saw Yang Chen come out did the black-clad man finally relax a little. Elder Wang had said that he could return after three days whether Yang Chen had come out or not, but the man knew how to handle himself. He understood that this young man was surely exceptionally talented.
Otherwise, he couldn't have taken on a mission to kill the Flying Tiger at such a young age.
That mission was one even he might not have been able to complete!
Since Yang Chen had come out, he had clearly completed the mission. A genius like him was heavily protected at Number 98!
"Let's go!"
Yang Chen called to the black-clad middle-aged man and headed straight for the sedan. He flopped carelessly into a seat, took a chilled drink from the car's mini-fridge, and gulped it down.
The past two days hadn't involved any life-or-death battles, but Yang Chen still hadn't eaten a proper meal. At most, he had killed a few Spirit Beasts and roasted them. Without any seasoning, they had tasted awful.
On top of that, he'd had to stay alert at night in case Spirit Beasts attacked, so he hadn't slept well either.
Now that he was back in a comfortable space, Yang Chen finally let himself relax and enjoy the moment.
The black-clad man simply smiled, then climbed into the driver's seat and started the car.
Vroom!
The engine roared, and a long plume of exhaust burst from the tailpipe. The car shot off like a meteor, streaking through the sky toward Jiangnan City.
Not long after the black sedan left, White Tiger Mountain itself seemed to tremble slightly. Fine cracks spread across the ground.
Deep beneath White Tiger Mountain, far beyond anyone's knowledge, a red pupil suddenly appeared, radiating terrifying pressure.
At once, all the Spirit Beasts in White Tiger Mountain cowered as if facing a king or emperor, not daring to move.
A trace of weariness appeared in that blood-red eye, as if it had weathered a great storm and was exhausted.
"You have to grow up quickly. We don't have much time!"
An ancient, hollow voice boomed throughout White Tiger Mountain like muffled thunder. Some of the weaker Spirit Beasts there were shaken into bloody pulp by the waves of sound!
The A-Class and S-Class Spirit Beasts trembled, not daring to make a sound.
If Yang Chen were still there, he would surely have recognized the owner of that voice. It was none other than White Tiger!
In other words, deep beneath White Tiger Mountain lay White Tiger's lair!
White Tiger was still alive!
To be continued!
