After introducing Tie Ta to Changyang Hu, Jianchen began to chat with Changyang Hu. Only when vice-principal Bai En arrived did they part.
Vice Principal Bai En then gave a speech and cleaned up all the students, temporarily taking away their Space Belts and Space Rings to prevent some people from using the Magic Cores in their Space Rings to make up the numbers. Afterwards, he gave all the students a Space Belt of the lowest grade. These Space Belts were not worth much on the Tian Yuan Continent. They were very common items, which was why the academy could take out over a thousand of them at once.
The space in each Space Belt was very small, only one meter square. However, it was enough to store monster cores. Inside each Space Belt, there were some healing medicines.
When everything was ready, the thousand plus students began to leave Kargath Academy in a grandiose manner. They walked towards a forest twenty miles away, accompanied by dozens of academy teachers. Their mission was to spread out in the forest and be ready to rescue any students in danger at any time. The one leading the team was the vice principal, Bai En.
After leaving the academy, everyone gradually increased their speed. After all, even the weakest among them had reached eighty percent of Saint Force. Even though they did not travel at full speed, their speed was still very fast.
After two hours of travel, everyone finally arrived at the outskirts of the forest. When they arrived, everyone could clearly see that the entire forest was enveloped by a layer of faint white light.
Jian Chen's eyes were filled with curiosity as he looked at the forest shrouded in a layer of white light. He had read a large amount of books in the library, so he was very clear about the origins of this forest.
Three hundred years ago, this place was a wasteland filled with weeds. There was no such forest at all. Later on, the principal of Kargath Academy mobilized the strength of thousands of people and spent an entire year to develop this place. In the end, this forest was not very large. Even so, this forest still covered an area of fifty kilometers. After more than a hundred years of development, this forest gradually turned into a primeval forest.
When the forest was fully formed, the dean of Kargath Academy, Bunain, personally took action. He spent three days and three nights to lay down a huge enchantment that enveloped the entire forest. Moreover, he divided the forest into three regions. Each region was covered by a layer of powerful enchantment. Finally, he released some magic beasts with low attack power but strong reproductive ability to enter. This was to be used by the students of the academy to gain experience.
In order to nurture more talents for the Gesun Kingdom, Headmaster Burnain had spent a great deal of effort. However, at that time, Headmaster Burnain was someone else and not the current Headmaster of Kargath Institute.
At this moment, the calm voice of the vice-principal rang out from the front, "Students, from now on, you must stay in the forest for three days and hand over at least two monster cores to pass. If you leave the forest midway or fail to hand over two monster cores, you will fail and will not receive any rewards." The vice-principal's voice rang out clearly in the ears of every student present.
"Now, everyone will split up. Students who have yet to reach Saint Realm can work together to hunt magical beasts in the second region. Students who have reached Saint Realm, please head to the third region."
Afterward, everyone gradually split up. Changyang Shōten and Tie Ta walked together very naturally. Since the barrier only targeted magical beasts, they were not stopped at all when they entered the barrier.
Jianchen and Tie Ta arrived in the first region after entering the barrier. The magical beasts in this region were not very powerful. They had not reached Class 1 yet. These magical beasts were usually called wild beasts on the Tian Yuan Continent because they could only be called magical beasts after reaching Class 1.
With over a thousand students walking together, even a few particularly ferocious beasts did not dare to cause trouble. As a result, it was extremely peaceful along the way. Very soon, they passed through another barrier and arrived in the second region. All the magical beasts in this region were Class 1 magical beasts. To people who had not even reached Saint Realm, even Class 1 magical beasts with low attack power were enough to pose a threat to them.
After entering the second region, Jianchen and Tie Ta took the initiative to separate from the group. They made their way into the depths of the dense forest. The surroundings were filled with weeds that were as tall as a person, which greatly affected their vision. They were unable to make out the path at all. There were only traces left behind by many large magical beasts on the ground.
"Changyang Shōten, we can come across magical beasts at any time. We need to be careful. We can't be careless," Tie Ta said rather sternly. He had fought with wild beasts in the forest since he was young, so he was extremely experienced. He understood very well just how dangerous the forest was. As long as he was careless, he could lose his life here.
Jianchen revealed a sliver of confidence. He said indifferently, "Don't worry. Even if you come across danger, I might not be in danger." With the memories from his past life, Jianchen could not be treated like a normal person. He had lived in primitive forests many times in his past life, so it could be said that Jianchen's experience in surviving in the forest was much greater than Tie Ta's. Moreover, he had read a large number of books in the library. Many of them were experiences of surviving in the forest of magical beasts.
Tie Ta tightened his grip on the huge axe in his hand. He looked around cautiously and said, "I've killed many wild beasts in the past, but I've never killed a Class 1 magical beast. Those are powerful magical beasts that have reached the level of Saint. Even Saints with Saint Weapons might not be able to kill them. I wonder if we can kill a Class 1 magical beast if we come across one. After all, those magical beasts will run away. We definitely won't be able to catch up here."
Jianchen gently smiled, "Tie Ta, do you have so little confidence in your own strength?"
Tie Ta blushed slightly. He scratched his head and said honestly, "No, I'm very confident in my own strength. My teacher said that I can defeat regular Saints with my current strength, but I've never killed a Class 1 magical beast before. I haven't even seen one …"
As soon as Tie Ta said that, Jianchen's face stiffened slightly. He immediately extended his hand to stop Tie Ta from continuing. Light flickered through his eyes as he looked around in interest.
Tie Ta immediately knew that danger was approaching when he noticed Jianchen's sudden seriousness. He immediately became cautious as if he was facing a great enemy. He slowly scanned the dense weeds around him.
Jianchen looked around sharply. However, the weeds had grown extremely strong after years of production, completely blocking his vision. As a result, Jianchen was unable to see anything.
Jianchen gently gripped the metal rod in his right hand as he slowly closed his eyes. His ears trembled slightly as he listened carefully to the movements around him.
After a few seconds, Jianchen suddenly opened his eyes. Immediately, a sharp light flashed through his eyes. Afterwards, Jianchen took a step forward. The rusty metal rod in his right hand suddenly stabbed out with lightning-like speed as it shone with a brownish-yellow light.
At the same time, a green branch suddenly shot out from the weeds, shooting towards Jianchen as quickly as it could.
Jianchen's metal rod collided with the green branch in the air. The branch was immediately obstructed, pausing slightly in the air. The tip of the metal rod had already pierced the branch's body.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the branch was actually a green, venomous snake. It was as thick as an adult's arm. Just the part of its body that was exposed was two meters long.
At this moment, a strong gust of wind whistled past Jianchen's ears. Tie Ta swung his huge axe towards the green venomous snake with an ear-piercing sound.
The axe viciously struck the venomous snake's body. The powerful force directly sent it flying far away. It flew for close to ten meters before falling to the ground with a soft thud. However, there were just too many weeds here. Jianchen and Tie Ta could not even see the snake clearly from five meters away, let alone ten meters.
"Chase after it. We can't let it hide." Jianchen understood his situation very well. As soon as he spoke, he quickly chased after the venomous snake. If the venomous snake carefully hid in an environment like this, it would cause a lot of trouble for the two of them. After all, they would brush against countless weeds with every step they took. Moreover, it was very difficult to see what was beneath their feet. It would be very troublesome to guard against a venomous snake that was prepared.
Tie Ta did not hesitate at all and quickly chased after Jianchen. When Tie Ta caught up to Jianchen, he saw that Jianchen had already stopped. Three meters away, the venomous snake raised its head high and stared at the two of them with a pair of cold eyes. Its mouth was constantly spitting out snake apricots.
This venomous snake was already one and a half meters tall when it raised its body. There were two wounds on its body that was as thick as an adult's arm. One of them was a deep bloody hole left by Jianchen, and the other was a long wound left by Tie Ta's axe. The wound was cut horizontally across its waist, and the flesh around the wound was cut open. Bright red blood continuously flowed out from the wound.
Jianchen stared at the venomous snake cautiously. Even though the snake before him had weaker attacks, it was still a Class 1 magical beast after all. It was no weaker than a Saint who had condensed a Saint Weapon.
Tie Ta stared at the snake sternly as well. The veins on his hands bulged as he gripped his axe tightly, ready to strike as hard as he could at any time.
After a short moment of stalemate, Jian Chen finally moved. The short distance of three meters was almost negligible in his eyes. With a slight sway of his body, Jian Chen had already crossed the distance of two meters. In an instant, he arrived in front of the viper. With an ear-piercing sound, the iron rod in his hand pierced through the air at a speed that was difficult to follow with the naked eye, aiming straight for the viper's heart.
The venomous snake let out a hoarse roar. Its body nimbly shifted slightly, dodging the fatal blow. Even so, the rusty iron rod still pierced deeply into its body, penetrating through. The tip of the rod came out from the other side of its body.
"Hiss!" The intense pain made the green venomous snake release a hoarse roar, its mouth wide open.
"Yahah!" Tie Ta was not slow either. He swung his axe with all his might and chopped at the snake's head with all his might.
