Northeast of Ping Yang City, there was a primitive forest that covered millions of acres.
In the primitive forest, ancient trees towered into the sky and wild beasts roamed freely. There were also some mutated beasts that had cultivated successfully.
Just like humans, wild beasts were also creatures that could cultivate. Through cultivation, they could evolve into stronger mutated beasts.
According to their strength, mutated beasts were divided into ten levels, nine ranks, and ninety ranks.
Among them, level ten mutated beasts were equivalent to martial artists in the Martial Disciple realm, level nine mutated beasts were equivalent to martial artists in the Martial Warrior realm, level eight mutated beasts were equivalent to martial artists in the Martial Master realm, and so on.
Mutated beasts devoured the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish themselves. Their flesh and blood contained large amounts of spiritual energy.
If one could consume the flesh and blood of mutated beasts for a long period of time, not only could it increase one's strength, but it could also continuously improve one's physique and enhance one's potential. Some special mutated beasts could even increase a martial artist's soul power.
However, due to the special body structure of mutated beasts, they were far stronger than humans in terms of strength and toughness of their flesh.
At the same level, human martial artists were far from being a match for mutated beasts!
Fortunately, most of the mutated beasts in the primitive forest were ordinary level ten breeds. Not only were their strength average, but they were mostly distributed in the periphery of the forest.
A few level nine mutated beasts were entrenched in the depths of the forest and rarely appeared. It was just right for the young martial artists of Ping Yang City to train.
Therefore, this primitive forest was also designated as a training ground by the three major clans of Ping Yang City and the City Lord's residence. It was only for the young martial artists of Ping Yang City to train.
And this primitive forest was the destination of Yu Haoran's trip.
…!
After leaving the Yu Clan, Yu Haoran didn't choose to walk on the main road. Instead, he chose some muddy and strange paths.
The reason why he didn't walk on the main road was because he didn't want to meet any familiar faces for the time being.
Before his parents were killed, as the young clan leader of the Yu Clan, he often attended some important events. Basically, all the big and small forces in Ping Yang City knew him.
He didn't want to meet any familiar faces, not because he was afraid of them, but because he didn't want them to affect his next move.
After all, he used his parents' prestige and deterrence to do many evil things. Those people didn't dare to find trouble with him because of his parents' prestige.
But now!
…!
The primitive jungle was about fifty kilometers away from Ping Yang City. With the support of his elemental energy, Yu Haoran only spent three hours to reach the primitive jungle.
"Eh? Isn't this the young master of the Yu Clan, Yu Haoran?! "
Just as Yu Haoran arrived at the primitive jungle, before he could adjust his breathing and observe the situation in front of the jungle, he suddenly heard a surprised voice.
Yu Haoran couldn't help but frown when he turned around to look.
This was because the person who had exclaimed earlier was a direct descendant of the Wu Clan, one of the three major clans in Ping Yang City.
The three major clans in Ping Yang City were the Yu Clan, the Cheng Clan, and the Wu Clan.
The inheritance of the three great clans was around five hundred years, and there was not much difference in strength between them. No one could completely suppress the other.
However, this situation of being evenly matched was suddenly broken five years ago. The reason for this was the appearance of a peerless genius in the Yu Clan, Yu Hongzhi.
Yu Hongzhi was a very special person in the Yu Clan.
Before he came of age, he was just an ordinary direct descendant of the clan.
Even after he came of age, his performance was not very outstanding and could only be considered average.
However, nineteen years ago, when he was eighteen years old, he suddenly made a decision that was out of everyone's expectations, and that was to leave the family to travel. Moreover, he left for fourteen years, during which there was no news of him at all.
Just when everyone thought that he had died outside, he suddenly appeared in the Yu Clan. Not only did he reach the peak of a seventh-grade Martial Master, but he also brought his wife and children back.
Although the peak of a seventh-grade Martial Master was not the best in Ping Yang City, he had mastered a secret technique that could raise his strength by three to five levels, as well as a few martial arts techniques that could allow him to fight above his level.
With the help of the secret technique and martial arts techniques, he consecutively defeated the clan leaders of the three major clans and forced the clan leader of the Yu Clan to give up his position.
Under his leadership, the Yu Clan used less than a year to completely suppress the other two major clans, causing the Yu Clan's territory to expand rapidly.
If not for the City Lord's Mansion's secret warnings and obstructions, he would have exterminated the Cheng and Wu Clans.
Originally, with Yu Hongzhi, the number one expert in Ping Yang City, the Cheng and Wu Clans would not be able to raise their heads in the next few hundred years unless a genius similar to Yu Hongzhi appeared in their clans.
However, under Yu Hongzhi's strong suppression, even if such a genius appeared, it would be difficult for him to grow.
If this situation continued for a hundred years, there was no need for Yu Hongzhi to personally take action. The Wu and Cheng Clans, whose territories were constantly shrinking and their profits were constantly decreasing, would almost automatically perish.
However, in that inexplicable secret battle a year ago, not only did the direct descendants of the Yu Clan suffer heavy losses, but even the number one expert of the Yu Clan, Yu Hongzhi, died in an accident. This caused the Yu Clan's strength to return to five years ago.
Five years!
In five years, the Wu and Cheng Clans were too severely suppressed by Yu Hongzhi. After they recovered, they began to madly retaliate against the Yu Clan.
Fortunately, Yu Hongzhi had earned enough wealth and resources for the Yu Clan during his five years in power. This also allowed the Yu Clan's overall strength to increase by a lot.
Facing the alliance of the two great clans, the Yu Clan, which had shrunk a part of their battle line, was not at a disadvantage.
Thinking of the hatred his father had formed with the two great clans for the sake of the clan's interests.
Thinking of the situation he encountered after his father's tragic death, Yu Haoran could not help but sigh.
Then, he raised his head and looked at the Wu Clan disciple in front of him. His eyes revealed a trace of a complicated expression.
The young man in front of him was called Wu Zhengjun. In the younger generation of the Wu Clan, his talent and strength were ranked tenth among the direct descendants.
Originally, Yu Haoran should not have known Wu Zhengjun, who was ranked at the bottom and did not have a prominent reputation.
However, Wu Zhengjun had a special constitution.
In the sect selection competition a month later, he surpassed Wu Zhenghao, who was ranked first in the Wu Clan. He was fancied by the first-rate Iron Blood Sect and was directly accepted as an inner disciple. Since then, his reputation had spread greatly.
It was precisely because of that sect selection competition that he knew of Wu Zhengjun.
"What's the matter?" Yu Haoran asked in a complicated tone as he secretly mobilized fifty percent of his elemental energy.
He mobilized fifty percent of his elemental energy because he knew that Wu Zhengjun would definitely not let him off easily. Wu Zhengjun would definitely mistakenly think that Wu Zhengjun's strength was far superior to his and humiliate him.
After all, the Wu and Cheng Clans had been humiliated and suppressed for five years entirely because of his father.
Now that his father was dead, as a son, he would definitely become the target of the Cheng and Wu Clans' revenge.
