"Haha, Fourth Brother is right. All of us have contributed to this matter. Now, let's do it according to Fourth Brother's method. Fourth Brother and this brother will take half of these magic cores. The other half will be divided equally among us." Changyang Hu laughed. Jianchen was his younger brother. Even though they had the same father but different mothers, this did not affect their relationship at all. He would not be polite to Jianchen.
Since Changyang Hu had said so, the other three could not refuse. They all accepted the monster cores excitedly. On average, the four of them each received a dozen monster cores, which made them very happy. This amount was equivalent to what they had obtained from hunting magical beasts in the past three days.
Jianchen and the others did not plan to stay any longer. After changing positions, they started a new fire and continued to roast the meat.
The six of them sat in a circle around the fire. Changyang Hu smiled, "Brother, let me introduce you. These three are my best friends. They're Oz, Oba, and Dyer." Changyang Hu pointed at the three of them and said, "Brother, Oz and Oba are twins. They look exactly the same. Once they wash the dirt off their faces, you won't be able to tell who's Oz and who's Oba."
Jianchen smiled faintly as he greeted the three of them one by one. After chatting for a while, they gradually became familiar with each other. They even knew Tie Ta's name.
At this moment, Changyang Hu became serious and said, "Brother, I remember that you weren't a Saint before we entered the forest. How did you appear in the third zone now? And you're so powerful. You actually defeated Luo Jian, an intermediate Saint with wind attribute Saint Force. Could it be that you've become a Saint in the past three days?"
Changyang Hu's question was also what the other three were concerned about. As soon as they heard Changyang Hu's question, Dyer and Oba immediately focused their attention on Jianchen. Jianchen defeating Luo Jian was undoubtedly a huge shock to them. Although they had heard about Jianchen's extraordinary strength in the academy, it was far from exaggerated to such an extent.
Jianchen smiled and handed the iron rod in his hand to Changyang Hu, "Brother, take a look. If I become a Saint, would I still need to use a weapon like this?"
Changyang Hu took the iron rod. With just one look, he could tell that it was a rusty iron rod that had been dyed black with blood.
"This … this …" Changyang Hu's eyes widened as he stared at the rusty iron rod in disbelief. He was so shocked that he could not speak. He never would have thought that Jianchen could defeat Luo Jian with a rusty iron rod. If it had not happened right before his eyes, he would not have believed it even if he was beaten to death.
At this moment, Dyer and Oba also looked at the iron rod in Changyang Hu's hand. After sizing it up, the three of them were also filled with disbelief and shock. They looked at Jianchen as if they were looking at a monster.
Looking at their expressions, Jianchen chuckled and said, "With me and Tie Ta working together, the magical beasts in the second region are no longer a challenge to us. That's why Tie Ta and I came to the third region."
Hearing this, Changyang Hu and the other three could not help but feel speechless. The magical beasts in the second region were first rank magical beasts. Although they were relatively weak and did not have strong attack power, it was still very difficult for an ordinary Saint to deal with them. However, Jianchen and Dyer had obviously not become Saints yet, but they dared to say that the magical beasts in the second region were no longer a challenge to them. This made the four, including Changyang Hu, curse Jianchen and Dyer in their hearts.
After a while, Changyang Hu and the others finally returned to their senses. Changyang Hu continued to ask, "Fourth brother, you're already so powerful before becoming a Saint. I really don't know how powerful you'll become once you become a Saint." Changyang Hu paused before continuing, "By the way, fourth brother, when do you think you'll become a Saint?"
Jianchen pondered for a moment before replying, "I've already reached the peak of the tenth layer of Saint Force. Once I leave the forest, I plan to break through to the Saint realm."
Changyang Hu gasped. He looked at Jianchen with surprise and shock, "Fourth brother, you're really too powerful. When you came to the academy a few months ago, you were only at eighty percent of Saint Force. I never thought that you'd reach the peak of the tenth layer of Saint Force so quickly."
Hearing this, the three of them could not help but sigh in amazement. The way they looked at Jianchen had completely changed. Jianchen's cultivation speed was so fast and his strength was so unbelievably powerful. He was definitely a genius among geniuses. At this moment, the three of them had already decided that they had to be on good terms with Jianchen in the future. They definitely could not offend him.
Jianchen smiled carelessly and said, "Big brother, I've noticed that there seem to be many people fighting over monster cores in the third region. What's going on?"
Hearing this, Changyang Hu sighed, "I don't know who started this, but it's said that on the second day, a group of people started stealing monster cores from other people in the third region by relying on their numbers. The stealing of monster cores in the third region was also caused by them. When this matter spread, all the students in the third region followed suit. They formed groups and began stealing monster cores. After all, not only are there not many Class 2 Magical Beasts, they're also extremely difficult to kill. Killing them only gives you a single monster core. Stealing monster cores is much easier than killing them, and if you're lucky, you can even steal multiple monster cores at once.
"So, now that things have developed to this point, all the students in the third district are fighting each other. Many of the students who are left behind, or those who are in small groups, are unable to protect the magic cores that they have painstakingly hunted for, and have been snatched away by others. As a result, many of the injured students have left the forest in advance, and there are not many people left in the third district now."
"Don't the teachers hiding in the shadows just ignore it?" Tie Ta could not help but ask.
"As long as it doesn't harm lives, or if we encounter a magical beast, the teachers hiding in the shadows won't appear. After all, the reason why we've been called to the forest to hunt magical beasts is actually a form of training for us. At the same time, the stealing of monster cores this time is a test of our strength and unity. After all, things like this happen everywhere on the continent. We're just experiencing it early," said one of the Oba brothers.
"Oh!" Tie Ta came to a realization.
Jianchen suddenly smiled strangely. He looked at Changyang Hu's group of four and said, "Since others can steal from us, why can't we take the initiative to steal from them? I wonder if you're willing to go all out."
The eyes of Changyang Hu's group of four lit up when they heard Jianchen's words.
"Alright, let's do it. Changyang Shōten, I'll follow you." Diarya immediately stood up and stared at Changyang Xiangtian in excitement as he spoke in a heroic manner.
"That's right. We weren't strong enough before, so we could only run away. But now that Changyang Shōten has joined us, even if we encounter a team with a mid-level saint, it's not impossible for us to win. Since that's the case, let's take advantage of this last night and do a good job." The Oba brothers were also in high spirits.
"Alright, fourth brother, I'll listen to you." Changyang Hu also expressed his opinion excitedly.
As for Tie Ta, he had no objections. These days, Tie Ta had already followed Jianchen's decision.
After that, everyone ate their fill. After some discussion, they decided to let the Oba brothers search for targets in the surroundings, while Jianchen's group of four stayed behind to wait for news.
Bama and his two brothers came back very quickly. At the same time, they found a group of five people about five miles away.
Jianchen's group immediately set off. Under the leadership of the Oba brothers, they advanced toward the target five miles away.
When Jianchen's group arrived at the location, the five people had just filled in the blanks and were preparing to rest. They were caught off guard by Jianchen's group. Because the five of them were at the beginner saint level, they were quickly defeated by Jianchen's group. However, there weren't many magic cores looted from them. There were only twenty or so magic cores.
After taking the magic cores, Jianchen's group didn't make things difficult for them and immediately left.
For the whole night, Jianchen's group didn't sleep. They were all looking for their target in the forest. There weren't many people left in the third area. After half a night, Jianchen's group only found three groups of people. However, what made them laugh was that there was a group of people who had the same goal as them. They met halfway and started fighting without saying anything. There were six people in this group, the same number as Jianchen's group. Moreover, there were two intermediate saints among them. They were very powerful. However, the two intermediate saints were blocked by Jianchen and Tie Ta. In the end, they were injured by Jianchen's group and obtained the final victory. From this group of people, Jianchen's group collected more than one hundred and fifty magic cores. It seemed that many students' magic cores had been snatched away by the six of them.
After going through three battles, apart from Jianchen, everyone was covered in wounds. Apart from Tie Ta who had thick skin, they couldn't continue fighting. Helpless, they could only find a secret place to pass the rest of the night peacefully. Although Jianchen and Tie Ta were still unsatisfied and wanted to rob a few more people, Changyang Hu's group of four couldn't fight anymore. At this moment, the two of them had to stay behind to protect them and prevent any unexpected situations.
However, it had to be said that Jianchen's group had a bountiful harvest. Apart from the first group of people who only had around twenty magic cores, the other two groups had obtained around seventy and one hundred and fifty magic cores respectively. In total, there were close to two hundred and sixty magic cores.
Looking at so many magic cores, Jianchen even suspected that the number of magic cores they had was already half of the total number of magic cores the students had killed in the third area.
The rest of the night passed peacefully. At dawn the next day, Jianchen's group set off for the outskirts of the forest. Changyang Hu's group's wounds had already begun to slowly heal after applying some ointment. These ointment had been prepared by themselves when they received the Space Belts from the academy.
