"Mad Saber" Lei Zhan

"Ferocious beasts being paraded through the streets?"

Ning Yue pondered for a moment. He had never heard of it.

Beep, beep, beep...

His phone kept going off, all with messages.

Ning Yue opened them and saw messages from people he knew and people he didn't.

There were also messages in some group chats. Whether he knew the senders or not, judging by where their messages came from, they were all students at Xinyuan Martial Arts High School.

Looking at what they had sent, some were greetings, while others were about the ferocious beasts being paraded through the streets.

There were photos of the beasts, too. Sure enough, every one of them was enormous. There was even a giant bull a hundred meters long and over thirty meters tall, its entire body covered in flame markings.

From the messages in the class group chat, he learned that it was a peak Sixth-Rank Golden Body Realm Volcanic Giant Bull, only one grade below a king-level ferocious beast.

"Golden Body Realm?"

As he thought about it, he looked at the Golden Body Pill in his inventory.

Golden Body Pill: formed from the essence of a golden zombie's entire body. It can strengthen the physique until it is comparable to a golden body, or transform the physique and expel impurities.

Sure enough, the golden zombie in the simulator should have been comparable to a Golden Body Realm ferocious beast in the world of Blue Star, and the Golden Body Pill contained the essence of its entire body.

The Golden Body Realm for ferocious beasts and the Golden Body Realm for humans were two different things.

The human Golden Body Realm should have been a dharma-form golden body, while the ferocious beast's Golden Body Realm was its true physical body, showing signs of an ancestral bloodline returning.

If they were to be compared,

A human at the Ninth Grade Golden Body Realm could poke a Golden Body Realm ferocious beast to death with one finger.

Thus, the human Ninth-Grade Realm was generally known as the Supreme Realm.

Just then, his phone rang.

He looked and saw that it was Wang Xueqing.

Why was she calling?

"Xueqing, what is it?" Ning Yue asked with a smile.

He was a little surprised and didn't know why she was calling.

Sobbing came from the other end, but no one spoke.

Ning Yue frowned. Had he gotten a scam call?

That couldn't be right. Spiritual energy had been revived on Blue Star for hundreds of years, so it was different from the world of his previous life.

In his previous life, if you got scammed, that was that.

On Blue Star, whoever dared to scam someone would get their kidneys smashed.

Not a single martial artist had grown up eating grass.

"If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm hanging up."

Ning Yue's tone was unfriendly. He really couldn't stand people who wouldn't speak and just made others guess and guess.

What the hell was wrong with them? Who had time to play games with them?

However, he also knew Wang Xueqing's character. She was strong, and unless it was something out of the ordinary, she wouldn't cry, especially in front of strangers.

Wang Xueqing had probably run into some difficulty, one she couldn't resolve herself.

"Brother Yue, can you lend me some money?"

"How much do you need?"

"Ten million." Wang Xueqing hesitated for a moment before giving him a figure.

"I don't have it," Ning Yue answered decisively.

His family did have several hundred million in assets, but that belonged to his parents, not Ning Yue. Besides, ninety percent of it was fixed assets, and the family didn't have much liquid capital.

Altogether, they might have had only five or six million. Ten million was an astronomical sum even for Ning Yue.

"All right, thank you," Wang Xueqing said, sounding somewhat dejected.

When Ning Yue heard that, he was about to hang up.

To his surprise, Wang Xueqing's sobbing grew louder, and she tearfully poured out her troubles.

"My father came back, but..."

As Wang Xueqing told her story, Ning Yue learned why she needed the money, and why she needed it urgently.

Wang Xueqing's father was a martial artist, and not a low-grade one either. He had reached the Fifth Grade Acupoint Refining Realm.

In terms of realm, he was on par with Ning Baichuan.

In combat strength, he far surpassed Ning Yue's father, Ning Baichuan.

That was because Wang Xueqing's father was a hunter and a member of an elite hunting team.

Every member of an elite hunting team had extensive experience and exceptional combat strength, and they often fought opponents above their own level.

Most importantly, every elite hunting team captain was at least at the peak of the Sixth-Rank Realm, and quite a few were grandmaster-level powerhouses.

This time, their Mad Battle Hunting Team had encountered a Volcanic Giant Bull in the wilderness.

Under the leadership of their captain, "Mad Saber" Lei Zhan, they had gravely wounded the Volcanic Giant Bull and captured it alive.

But the Mad Battle Hunting Team had paid a heavy price as well. Their seventh-grade grandmaster-level captain had taken the Volcanic Giant Bull's attacks head-on and suffered serious internal injuries.

The other team members had also suffered injuries of varying severity.

Fortunately, not a single team member had died.

Thus, when the Mad Battle Hunting Team brought the Volcanic Giant Bull back to Xinyuan City, it caused a tremendous stir, and they became a legendary team in the hunting world.

Behind every victory, there were people making sacrifices in silence.

During that hunt, Wang Xueqing's father had been rammed by the Volcanic Giant Bull. Even though he was as strong as the Fifth-Grade Realm, he had been gravely injured and knocked to the ground.

He had to be carried all the way back to the city.

He had remained unconscious, and his condition had continued to worsen.

The hunting team had yet to receive the proceeds from this hunt.

So the other hunters wanted to help but were powerless to do so.

They didn't have that much money either. Although they earned hundreds of thousands or even a million each time they hunted, their expenses were even greater.

With no other choice, Wang Xueqing could only ask Ning Yue to lend her money.

She intended to buy a vial of Vitality Creation Liquid. Only then could her father make a full recovery.

Vitality Creation Liquid: made from the essences of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Refined by a master alchemist, it possesses the power to create vitality and repair internal and external injuries, with an effect that could be called putting flesh on bare bones.

After Ning Yue understood the whole story,

He had no good solution for the moment either.

He could only regretfully say that he was powerless to help.

I wonder if the Golden Body Pill has any healing effects?

Ning Yue thought.

After all, it was the concentrated essence of a Golden Body Realm being's entire body, and it could alter a person's physique.

Since it could alter a person's physique, it should also be able to heal some fatal internal injuries.

Of course, Ning Yue was only thinking at random. As for selflessly helping Wang Xueqing,

Ning Yue thought they weren't close enough for that. It was impossible.

If it only took a lift of his hand, he could help her out.

"Mom, you're back."

Ning Yue heard a door open downstairs. When he went down to look, he saw that they had guests.

Besides his parents, two guests had come back with them.

No wonder his parents, who usually came home very late, had returned so early today.

No, it was still morning. They probably hadn't gone to the company.

"Son, you're home? Didn't you go out with your classmates today to watch the ferocious beasts being paraded through the streets?"

Mo Zini looked at Ning Yue in surprise when she saw him.

"No."

"So you didn't go. There's nothing much to see in a ferocious beast anyway. Besides, Xinyuan City's number one hunting team has come to our home." Ning Baichuan laughed heartily.

Pointing at the two burly giants, he said, "Come and meet them. These are your father's good brothers. We used to be on the same hunting team. This is your Uncle Lei, and this is your Uncle Zhao."

"Hello, Uncle Lei. Hello, Uncle Zhao."

Ning Yue greeted them obediently, feeling a little puzzled.

Who were they?

Xinyuan City's number one hunting team? Surnamed Lei?

Could it be?

The first person who came to mind was the Mad Battle Hunting Team's captain, "Mad Saber" Lei Zhan.

Uncle Lei was a burly giant with a bristling beard, built like an iron tower. He carried a huge iron case on his back, probably containing a weapon.

Uncle Zhao was a little shorter, with rolls of flesh all over him. He carried a backpack.

Looking more closely, Ning Yue saw that Uncle Lei's face was a little pale, and he coughed from time to time. Uncle Zhao hadn't moved one of his hands at all, so his injury probably hadn't healed either.

He became certain of his guess.

After the two men put down their things, Ning Yue came over to them at his father's call.

"I heard you're the number one student at our Xinyuan Martial Arts High School? Well done," Uncle Lei said with a smile.
