Ye Chen strode away from the cliff and headed towards Beilu Academy.
He didn't notice that in the bushes and weeds on a hill opposite, lurked a young warrior with a short blade and a back bow. Their eyes widened in disbelief and their mouths opened wide as they watched what had just happened.
In that scene, the mouth is big enough to stuff a few duck eggs.
"Qi Jin! It's Qi Jin that can only be found at the seventh level of the body refining stage! Ye Chen's move actually used a high-level sword technique!"
"The seventh level of body refining, when did he achieve it!"
The two people lying down in the weeds were none other than Wei Zhen and Zou Yi.
This has to start with their separation from Ye Chen.
Wei Zhen didn't dare to offend Ma Ruyuan, so he was dejected and annoyed for a long time. This matter was like a stick in his throat, and he couldn't get excited about other things.
"Junior brother Ye was being chased by Ma Ruyuan and the other five, and now he is afraid of disaster. Not only did he lose his life, but he also died in the wilderness! No, even if we can't save him, at least we can't let him end up like this. This little thing is still
It can be done. Let’s go back and look for it!”
"That's fine!"
Zou Yi felt a little ashamed and agreed.
The two of them returned all the way and came to the hilltop opposite the first-line cliff.
However, they did not see Ma Ruyuan and Ye Chen. They only saw four young warriors standing guard outside the cliff, keeping a bonfire and keeping vigil.
Wei Zhen and Zou Yi did not dare to get close to investigate. They just lurked in the jungle weeds on the top of the hill and watched from a distance.
At dawn the next day, a pack of gray wolves appeared. Four young warriors fled in panic. The two of them finally saw clearly the situation on the line of cliff. Ye Chen's voice could be heard faintly from the line of cliff.
"Ma Ruyuan is dead, but Junior Brother Ye Chen is not dead? That's great!"
Wei Zhen was extremely excited and surprised.
However, the gray wolves have been lingering near the cliff, and the two of them did not dare to get close to provoke the gray wolves. They waited outside for nearly a month, and the two of them almost lost the confidence to wait any longer.
"Brother Wei, the academy's graduation assessment will be over soon. We haven't hunted the head of the gray wolf yet. Junior Brother Ye Chen is trapped in a cliff and I'm afraid he won't be able to get out. Do you want to look around for one?
Looking for, kill two gray wolves first and then come back?"
Zou Yi frowned.
"I want it too!"
Wei Zhen also said bitterly, "But there are more than ten wolves in the smallest group in the mountains. How can we two kill them? If we rush forward, we will die... I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the graduation exam, so I can only wait.
, see if there is any chance to rescue Junior Brother Ye."
The last day for the graduation examination of Beilu Academy.
The two of them waited patiently, and finally saw Ye Chen coming out of the cliff, showing his steel knife, and facing off against the seven gray wolves that were guarding the outside.
"Junior brother Ye Chen is too anxious. He is so reckless and seeking death! Why don't you wait any longer? Even if you fail to pass the academy graduation exam this time, you can't lose your life!"
When Wei Zhen saw this, he was shocked and turned pale, almost breaking his fists with hatred.
"Too many wolves!"
Zou Yi couldn't bear to look at it.
At this moment, an extremely dazzling scene appeared at the exit of Xixian Cliff.
In front of Ye Chen, a semi-circular arc of light suddenly burst out. The faint white light of the sword was extremely dazzling in the forest.
Four gray wolves fell in a pool of blood, and the remaining three gray wolves turned around in fear and ran away.
"Knife~~, knife energy!"
Wei Zhen and Zou Yi were so shocked that they had enough duck eggs in their mouths.
"Quick, Brother Zou, there are still three gray wolves, kill them quickly!"
Wei Zhen suddenly thought of the wolf head he needed for the graduation assessment, and immediately jumped out from the grass, and quickly chased in the direction where the gray wolf was escaping.
Zou Yi stood up excitedly, stretched out the tendon bow with both arms, and bent the bow to take aim.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow shot through the air, making a sharp whistle in mid-air, and hit the hind legs of a gray wolf, greatly reducing its speed.
Poof!
In the blink of an eye, Wei Zhen's sharp short blade had touched its neck.
To be fair, the strength of these two sixth-level warriors in the body refining stage is not weak.
"Senior Brother Ye, wait for us!"
Wei Zhen shouted excitedly while desperately chasing the remaining two gray wolves.
While Zou Yi was chasing after him, he kept shooting arrows from behind to support Wei Zhen.
In normal times, it would not be easy for the two of them to deal with the three gray wolves. Once they are killed by the gray wolves at close range, they may be in danger. But at this time, the three gray wolves have been killed by Ye Chen, and they are frightened.
, they only care about escaping, and they don't bother to attack Wei Zhen and Zou Yi.
Ye Chen was leaving the line of cliff with the wolf's head on his back. Hearing the sound, he couldn't help but be startled. He looked towards the hilltop opposite and saw the figures of two familiar warriors, "Wei Zhen, Zou Yi! Why are they here and haven't gone back?"
"Senior Brother Ye, I finally waited until you came out of the cliff! The two of us have been guarding here for nearly a month, thinking about how to rescue you. Our wait was not in vain."
Wei Zhen and Zou Yi spent a short time hunting down the three gray wolves, and hurried over excitedly.
They have changed their name.
In Beilu Academy, seniors and juniors are not divided by age, nor by the order of promotion to the Upper House. Just like Senior Brother Yan Han, he is not the oldest, nor is he the first to be promoted to the Upper House. The reason why he is called Senior Brother is because
He once performed the Tiger Leap Triple Slash on the school field, and the power shocked all the disciples in the upper courtyard into speechlessness.
Ye Chen knew their difficulties and did not reject them. At most, he was lukewarm.
"Senior brother Ye Chen, that move you just made should be the fifth move of "Tiger Leap Sword Technique", right?! It was so strong that it actually released the sword energy and broke through the seventh level of the body refining stage. I'm afraid he is the strongest in the academy.
Senior Brother Yanhan can't do this either."
Wei Zhen spoke excitedly, with admiration in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Ye, I...!"
Zou Yi was holding a bow, feeling a little ashamed and not knowing how to face Ye Chen's gaze.
"Let's go, let's go back to Beilu Academy before dark!"
Ye Chen shook his head secretly in his heart and said calmly without saying anything.
"Senior Brother Ye, these three wolf heads were originally yours. Brother Zou and I only need one. You can take the extra one!"
Wei Zhen said quickly.
.......
It's getting late, Beilu Academy.
Today is the last day of the academy's graduation examination, which officially ends as soon as night falls.
There are still a few students who have not returned to the academy. The dean of the academy, the chief instructor, and all the students are waiting.
In the academy's martial arts training school, dozens of young martial artists stood in twos and threes.
"I went with Senior Brother Yan, a group of five people, to kill the wolves. Senior Brother Yan Han was too strong. He raised and lowered his sword, one at a time. Before the few of us could even react, he had already chopped down three gray heads.
Wolf! The five of us worked together to kill ten gray wolves, but unfortunately the wolf ran away. The first place in the academy must be him."
"Senior Brother Yan Han is indeed powerful. However, Senior Sister Wei Xuanyu is also very strong. Her Exquisite Palm is ranked first in the academy. She has four wolf heads in her hand. The second place belongs to her alone.
"
"I got three wolf heads this time, and I'm very likely to be in the top three!" A young man from an aristocratic family said proudly.
Many students were excitedly discussing their respective harvests from hunting wolf heads, and who was the strongest in the academy.
One of the groups in the school grounds, several young men in gorgeous clothes, were discussing the deal in low voices.
"Junior Brother Chen, fifty taels of gold, sell me your extra wolf head!"
"That blood ring is worth at least a thousand gold. Brother Wang, you want to buy one of my wolf heads for fifty taels of gold?"
"You're not competing for the top three, so why are you keeping two wolf heads in your hands?" Senior Brother Wang, who made the bid, became anxious.
"I'll keep it and sell it to others! Other senior brothers bid higher than you. They offered 150 taels of gold, but I didn't even sell it! You're sending a beggar away with this little gold! I'll consider it after 200 taels of gold!"
"Hmph, two hundred taels of gold is enough to buy two good swords. The top three will only be rewarded with one sword. Then keep your extra wolf head for yourself!"
When the students in the academy go hunting in the mountains, most of them go in groups. After killing the wolf, they are distributed among everyone. There is no fixed person who must own the wolf head, so the sale of wolf heads is naturally inevitable. The academy does not prohibit such things.
Of course, there are many children from wealthy families who want wolf heads, and the price of each wolf head is also extremely high. No one is sure who will grab the top spot in the end.
