These words immediately caused an uproar.
" Bu Yingying, are you bragging? A newbie, just entering the Outer Wilderness Zone, and you're already killing everyone? What kind of mythical story are you talking about?"
"Exactly! Even if that newcomer is incredibly brave, his strength is limited! Besides, the Outer Wilderness Zone is not like the Inner Wilderness Zone. Monsters roam everywhere here. If anyone dares to kill indiscriminately here, the strong smell of blood will definitely attract monsters from the surrounding area. Once they're surrounded, they'll probably be dead without even a bone fragment left."
"That makes perfect sense. Otherwise, why are Spirit Master so precious? One of the most important reasons is that they can anticipate dangers in the Outer Wilderness Zone and avoid areas where monsters congregate."
Everyone refuted her statement, one after another, refusing to believe what Bu Yingying said, which made her very anxious.
"I really didn't lie. My brother is in the Divine Wind Camp's Sharp Edge Squad, and he said all of this. They were absolutely certain they wouldn't be able to complete their assessment last month and were on the verge of disbanding. But that newcomer's appearance not only turned the tide but also made them the top performer in this assessment! If you don't believe me, just ask any of your relatives or friends in the Divine Wind Camp. This matter caused quite a stir in the Divine Wind Camp back then; a simple inquiry will easily confirm the truth. I have no reason to tell such an easily debunkable lie!"
Seeing that Bu Yingying was blushing and speaking with a firm and resolute voice, not at all like someone who was bragging, the crowd, who had initially denied it outright, began to waver.
"I suddenly remembered, a few days ago, my brother came back from the Divine Wind Camp, and he did mention that a team that was about to disband suddenly became the top team in the assessment. He also said that when they handed in their missions, the scene was incredibly impressive! It was spectacular, all the team members' backpacks were overflowing, and they dumped out huge piles of monster cores, which formed several small mountains." Someone suddenly interjected.
The moment he finished speaking, he immediately drew criticism from others.
"Really? A mountain of demon beast cores? You're not just bragging along with Bu Yingying, are you? Those are demon beast cores, only Four Star demon beasts can condense them, okay? Tell me, a team that barely managed to complete their assessment mission actually hunted down so many Four Star demon beasts in one go?"
Bu Yingying became proud, "That's why I wasn't lying. If it weren't for that arrogant newbie, my brother's team would have disbanded."
"I don't think Bu Yingying has any reason to lie. Like she said, everyone here has some relatives or friends in the Divine Wind Camp. You can easily find out by asking around. Why would she tell such an obvious lie?"
Wow! That newbie is amazing! I really want to meet him!
"Me too, me too."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Ma Yao's sarcastic voice rang out, "Even if Bu Yingying said is true, and there really is such a genius who dared to rampage through the Outer Wilderness Zone on his first visit, it doesn't mean Jiang Fan could do it too. Jiang Fan just got incredibly lucky and encountered a tremendous opportunity to achieve his current success. If he really encountered monsters, I don't believe he wouldn't be afraid. If he's not afraid, then he should tell Ye Qizhen not to go to places without monsters. He should go to places with lots of monsters."
The further she spoke, the louder her voice became, clearly indicating that she was speaking to Jiang Fan.
"I'm not kidding, but if we really encountered a demonic beast, Jiang Fan might not be as brave as me."
Ye Qizhen couldn't stand it anymore. She turned to look at Jiang Fan and said in a low voice, "Shouldn't we teach him a lesson? That's not like you."
"You'd argue with a dog?" Jiang Fan said nonchalantly, then walked off in another direction.
Through her Psychic Power, Ye Qizhen "saw" them heading towards a small monster's lair.
He chuckled to himself at the time.
You're not going to argue with a dog, are you? You're trying to kill it!
As expected, Jiang Fan led the group to raid the monster's lair.
"Wow, so many monsters! Have we stumbled upon their lair?"
Surrounded by dozens of demonic beasts, all of which were two or three-star level, Ma Yao was no longer the arrogant and eloquent man he had been moments before. At this moment, his face was deathly pale, his legs were trembling, and even the hand holding his weapon was shaking uncontrollably. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had Parkinson's disease.
Not only him, but all those guys who were chatting so enthusiastically just now looked like they had lost their parents, their faces extremely grim.
"How... how could this happen?"
Everyone turned to look at Ye Qizhen, Ye Qizhen gave Jiang Fan a resentful look.
He gave a knowing look, implying, "I'm taking the blame for you."
"Ahem." Ye Qizhen cleared her throat. "I'm only Intermediate Psychic, so I can't always rely on Psychic Power to scout ahead. I need to conserve some of my strength so I can provide better support when we encounter danger."
That was a very eloquent statement, and no one questioned it anymore.
Moreover, now is not the time to question anyone. Surrounded by so many demonic beasts, if we don't find a way to escape, we'll probably be lucky to survive!
" Jiang Fan, you, aren't you so capable? Then go for it!" Even at this moment, Ma Yao didn't forget to mock Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan glanced at him indifferently, "I just heard you say that if we really encountered a demonic beast, I'm no match for you. If that's the case, why don't you go first?"
"You, I—I don't think you dare!" Ma Yao argued, his face flushed.
"Whoever makes the noise goes first."
Jiang Fan's single sentence made Ma Yao shut his mouth tightly, his face turning purple, and he dared not utter another sound.
"Oh."
Jiang Fan sneered.
Ma Yao's already purplish face turned as red as an eggplant, but he kept his mouth tightly shut and could only glare fiercely with his eyes.
suddenly!
Jiang Fan made a move.
His figure blurred into a streak, instantly charging towards the demonic beasts. With swift strokes of his blade, he effortlessly reaped their lives, one after another, like harvesting leeks.
The speed was incredible, and the force of the strike was devastating.
The crowd stared in disbelief, frozen in place, their mouths agape as if they wanted to shove their fists into them.
Not only were the students stunned, but even Lu Chengjun and the two teachers hiding in the shadows were dumbfounded.
"Hiss--" Lu Chengjun gasped slightly, a look of sudden realization appearing on his face.
"Now I finally understand why the Divine Wind Camp ordered him to stay away from the Inner Wilderness Zone."
Although this guy isn't Spirit Master, his monstrous methods of reaping demonic beasts are enough for him to wipe out a region's demonic beasts in a short time.
What Lu Chengjun didn't know was that while Jiang Fan was openly slaughtering demonic beasts with each strike, he was also secretly using his Psychic Power to kill them.
Not only that.
