Chapter 33 Learning With a Single Glance

After a few minutes of scouting with his martial skill, Wei Anbo opened his eyes again.

“There’s a demonic beast about three hundred meters in that direction.”

Wei Anbo pointed in a direction.

Lin Xiaomeng looked in that direction and continued to ask, “Can you identify what realm it’s in?”

“…I still can’t do that.” Wei Anbo immediately put down his hand. “I can only detect the surrounding demonic beasts that are at and below the level of a demonic soldier. However, even if they fit that criterion, I can’t precisely identify their realm…”

“That’s fine.”

“If it wasn’t for you, we would probably still be wandering around in the forest,” Lin Xiaomeng quickly comforted him.

Although he could not confirm the realm, Wei Anbo could detect the demonic beasts that were at and below the demonic soldier realm.

Even if it was a demonic soldier, Lin Xiaomeng was confident that she could fight it. After all, as the daughter of a martial emperor, she had mastered very powerful martial skills.

“Then let’s go.”

The three of them did not hesitate to move out. Wei Anbo led the way while the other two

followed right behind him.

After carefully moving forward for a few minutes, Wei Anbo suddenly placed his hand against his mouth and said, “Shush, it’s right ahead of us.”

As he said that, Wei Anbo carefully pushed aside the thicket in front of him.

As a dim light shone through, a fox-type demonic beast lying on the ground appeared in front of the three of them.

“It’s a stone fox. They’re usually low-level demonic soldier demonic beasts.”

“Student Lu Huai, I’ll try and deal with it first,” Lin Xiaomeng muttered in a soft voice.

“Be careful.” Lu Huai nodded. He prepared himself to go forward and come to Lin Xiaomeng’s rescue should she fall in danger.

Lin Xiaomeng carefully stepped through the thicket. Her movements were gentle, afraid of waking the stone fox up.

If the stone fox did not wake up, then she did not need to fight with the demonic beast. She could kill it with one strike and collect its blood.

However, the environment was dark, leading Lin Xiaomeng to accidentally step on a dead branch.

Crack!

Gulp…

Lin Xiaomeng’s movements instantly froze. In the quiet forest, the sound of the branch

breaking was very harsh.

The stone fox’s ears twitched, and it slowly

opened its eyes.

It had a pair of eyes that were like pink amber.

It woke up!

Lin Xiaomeng was instantly on guard. She pulled out her shortsword and clenched it

tightly in her hand.

The first thing that the stone fox saw when it

woke up was Lin Xiaomeng.

The furry stone tail behind it swayed in the air,

and the fur on its body all stood on end. It

stared at Lin Xiaomeng.

Suddenly.

The stone fox moved.

Using all four of its limbs, it swung its claw at

Lin Xiaomeng.

Lin Xiaomeng reacted quickly. The blood and qi

in her body surged, and she quickly dodged the stone fox’s attack.

Then, the shortsword in her hand was covered with a silver stone-like radiance, and she stabbed it at the stone fox.

The stone fox was very agile and dodged Lin Xiaomeng’s attack.

Lin Xiaomeng’s attack missed, and her body staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

However, it was this hesitation that gave the stone fox an opportunity.

It roared and a huge stone rose up into the air before smashing toward Lin Xiaomeng.

The movement behind her naturally caught Lin Xiaomeng’s attention, and she noticed the stone fox’s attack from the corner of her eye.

Not good!

“Frost breath shield!”

Lin Xiaomeng shouted. Icy air behind her exploded, instantly condensing into a solid ice shield suspended in the air.

Bang!

The huge stone collided with the ice shield.

At the moment of contact, cracks appeared on

the ice shield. It was obvious that the stone fox’s attack was stronger. However, the ice shield had also bought Lin Xiaomeng some time.

The second before the ice shield was broken,

Lin Xiaomeng managed to avoid the huge

stone.

The huge stone fell to the ground with a loud sound, and it even caused the ground to shake.

“Hiss!”

Lin Xiaomeng wanted to make a move, but her

face suddenly turned pale, and she grabbed at her right shoulder in pain.

When she moved to dodge the rock, it had

grazed her shoulder and torn her clothes, leaving behind a hideous wound.

The white fox nimbly jumped up the tree trunk

and looked down at the injured Lin Xiaomeng.

Lin Xiaomeng stared at the stone fox on the tree and laughed bitterly in her heart.

The battle had just started, yet she was already

injured.

However, Lin Xiaomeng was not discouraged.

She once again circulated her blood and qi. The

cold air spread from her feet and quickly

rushed up the tree trunk. “Frost breath array!”

An ice statue suddenly appeared in the dark

forest, shining in the darkness.

She had succeeded!

Lin Xiaomeng let out a long breath and was

about to give the stone box the final blow.

With a few cracking sounds, the ice sculpture instantly shattered.

The stone fox bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it pounced at Lin Xiaomeng. Lin Xiaomeng was frightened by this scene. In

her panic, she could only quickly form an ice shield in front of her.

However, it was not the sound of a collision that entered her ears.

Instead, there were a few strange, ear-piercing sounds.

Then, the stone fox’s screams could be heard.

After a loud bang, no more sounds could be heard from the stone fox. Lin Xiaomeng removed her ice shield and looked over, only to see that the stone fox had already fallen to the ground.

Its neck and lower abdomen had hideous

wounds.

Lu Huai’s figure was standing on top of the

stone fox, the dagger in his hand still dripping with blood.

“Student Lu Huai?” Lin Xiaomeng could not help but cry out.

Lu Huai silently put away his knife and took out a test tube to collect the fox’s blood.

He had already seen that Lin Xiaomeng was at a disadvantage, so he attacked.

Of course, the method he used was the two

martial arts techniques that Lin Xiaomeng had just used, without the evocation of energy. One allowed him to burst out with super speed,

while the other increased the sharpness of his dagger.

It seems like it really might just be the case…

I can learn things from just a glance!

Lu Huai’s eyes flickered with a trace of joy and

surprise.

In Lu Huai’s hands, the power of these two martial skills had become much stronger. With his martial arts memories, he improved them almost instantly.

That was why he was able to kill the stone with

just two moves.

Lu Huai collected a tube of blood essence. Just

as Lan Yue said, no more blood essence flowed out from its heart afterward.

“Here you go.

Lin Xiaomeng subconsciously took the blood essence. “Thank you.”

He then said, “We’re all on the same team. There’s no need to thank me.” The first battle had ended so quickly. Wei Anbo

looked at Lu Huai in surprise.

He did not even notice that Lu Huai had gone

out.

For the rest of the time, Wei Anbo was in charge of tracking the demonic beasts, while Lin Xiaomeng was in charge of fighting.

Lu Huai was in charge of keeping watch from

time to time.

Lin Xiaomeng’s combat level was also slowly improving, and the chances of her getting injured in battle were also slowly decreasing. Not that much later, they had already obtained six tubes of demonic beast blood essence from

demonic apprentices, and three tubes from demonic soldiers.

At this time, the sky was already dark as night

had come.

Lin Xiaomeng, who had been fighting for an extended period of time time, was also

extremely weak.

The three of them returned to their camp and

lit a bonfire.

“Thank you, Student Lu Huai.” After Lin Xiaomeng drank the medicine that Lu Huai gave her, she closed her eyes and went to rest. The bonfire crackled as the demonic beast’s

flesh was roasted in its flame.

The aroma of roasted meat filled the forest.

Wei Anbo looked at the roasted meat and swallowed his saliva.

“It smells so good…” Lu Huai was roasting the meat in silence.

However, his sharp senses caught a rustling sound.

When he raised his head, he discovered that three students had appeared.

“I was wondering why it smelled so good, so

there was actually someone here.”

The leader of the group sized up the scene before him.

A woman covered in wounds, a good-for-nothing, and a guy who looked like he was easy to bully.

Wei Anbo’s expression changed, and he immediately whispered to Lu Huai, “Student Lu Huai, they are also new students. I heard that they are survivors of Japan from before the

alliance was established. I also heard that they are very arrogant.

The leader crossed his arms and said, “I’ll give

you a chance. Hand over your blood essence

and food, and I’ll let you go!”
