"How dare you! I am under orders to guard the old vine forest. I have the responsibility to question you for trespassing. Perhaps you took that thing from the old vine forest. Hand it over now!" Martial Master Gao said angrily.
"Gao Wentong, Zhou Yang's treasure was given to him by me. It has nothing to do with the old vine forest. Over the past few days, there have been several groups of people entering the old vine forest without permission. Our responsibility is to let them leave. Why are you making things difficult for Zhou Yang?"
Lin Wanqing stood in front of Zhou Yang. She wouldn't be so agitated if Zhou Yang was still her student. However, she had another relationship with Zhou Yang now. She couldn't just sit back and watch.
"Alright, I will give Martial Master Lin face today. I will punish you severely next time."
Gao Wentong, who knew that Lin Wanqing wasn't someone to be trifled with, stepped aside. There was a cunning look in his eyes.
Zhou Yang didn't stay any longer. He left the old vine forest quickly, but he kept an eye on Lin Wanqing.
Gao Wentong was a martial master from the Elite Hall. He was at the Third Order of the Martian State. Although he wasn't strong, he had a lot of connections in the Institute of Martial Arts. At the same time, he had more combat experience than the young disciples.
It was undoubtedly very dangerous for such a person to be eyeing his treasure.
After returning to the Institute of Martial Arts, he continued to comprehend the Ferocious Tiger Fist. The most important thing now was to master the Ferocious Tiger Fist as soon as possible so that he could gain the upper hand in the battle with the Fire-tailed Beast.
The night passed quietly. Zhou Yang still hadn't mastered the Ferocious Tiger Fist.
Early in the morning, six bells rang throughout the entire Institute of Martial Arts.
The six bells were the signal for the disciples of the Elite Hall to gather.
The Elite Hall trial was about to begin.
Soon, thousands of disciples gathered outside the martial arts hall. However, most of them were just there to watch the show. There were actually only 38 people participating in the trial.
After the Vice Dean's opening speech, the disciples followed Elder Wu to the old vine forest.
When the sun was high up in the sky, everyone arrived at a patch of green outside the old vine forest.
There were many tables and chairs on the green patch, as well as a huge wooden platform.
"Disciples, the annual Elite Hall trial is about to begin. There are nine places for the Scholar's Hall this time. This means that only nine of the 38 people participating in the trial can become disciples of the Scholar's Hall and become Prospective Scholars. Now, all the participants, please enter."
As Elder Song's voice fell, a total of 38 people, including Zhou Yang, Zhou Zitao, and Xu Yunfei, stepped onto the wooden platform.
Zhou Zitao and Xu Yunfei both had a sneer on their faces. After their defeat last time, they had practically shut themselves in their rooms until the Elite Hall trial.
Zhou Yang understood Zhou Zitao very well. If it wasn't for some happy occasion, with Zhou Zitao's personality, he definitely wouldn't be able to smile at this moment.
There's a conspiracy!
"You thirty-eight disciples, listen up. There are nine rank nine Storm Leopards in the old vine forest. Each of these nine Storm Leopards has a token in their bellies. Only those who obtain the token within a day will be considered to have passed the trial …"
Storm Leopard …
Zhou Yang smiled. Naturally, he knew about the Storm Leopard. It was a fierce beast that excelled in speed but not strength. With the Cloudladder Ladder, he had an advantage in this trial.
"Now, please let your respective instructors lead you to the entrance. Remember, although there are no restrictions on killing in the Old Vine Forest, you are not allowed to kill unless absolutely necessary. Also, non-Trial Takers are not allowed to enter the Old Vine Forest."
After Elder Song finished speaking, the six Martial Masters from the Elite Hall went up the stage.
"Wait a moment …"
At this moment, Lu Ping, who was standing beside Elder Song, suddenly walked in front of Zhou Yang. He looked at Lin Wanqing and said, "Martial Master Lin, there is a rule for this trial. Any disciple on the Net Worth List must enter the Old Vine Forest alone. Zhou Yang is on the list, so leave him to me."
Lin Wanqing frowned. She knew that Zhou Yang and Lu Ping didn't get along, but there was indeed such a rule. She couldn't immediately refute it.
"Then I'll go alone." Zhou Yang smiled. He didn't wait for Lin Wanqing to think before agreeing.
"Alright, Zhou Yang, come with me."
Lu Ping laughed coldly. After he finished speaking, he took a step forward. The two of them walked in tandem. After fifteen minutes, they arrived at a secluded entrance outside the Old Vine Forest.
"Are you prepared to fight here?" Zhou Yang smiled.
"Seventh Young Master must be joking. This place is under the eyes of the Elders. You can't fight as you please. You should go inside and fight." Lu Ping's tone was very playful. A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Zhou Yang looked around. Indeed, there was no ambush. He couldn't help but feel suspicious.
This Lu Ping brought him here personally. It was obvious that he was prepared to take revenge, but he didn't want to fight.
Without thinking too much, Zhou Yang turned around and entered the Old Vine Forest.
Different situations call for different actions. He was very clear that some things couldn't be avoided.
"Are you going in?"
Just as Zhou Yang left, a figure appeared beside Lu Ping. This person was Gao Wentong.
"Martial Master Gao, it's great that you can participate in this mission. After everything is done, you and I will leave the school and join the Ye Clan. I've had enough of this Broken Martial Academy."
"I'm not interested in joining the Ye Clan. However, there's something on Zhou Yang that I'm very interested in. When the time comes, that treasure will belong to me." Gao Wentong smiled.
"Alright. Since Martial Master Gao is interested, how would I dare to snatch something away from you? After Zhou Yang enters the Old Vine Forest, we will directly make our move."
Gao Wentong seemed to be somewhat disdainful. He said, "I really don't know what we're waiting for. This time, with the Vice Principal covering up and the cooperation of the Xu and Ye Clan, even if someone finds out, who would dare to say anything?"
Lu Ping smiled, but in his heart, he was cursing Gao Wentong for being an idiot. Zhou Yang seemed to be the target of everyone, but Zhou Zhan Tian was still alive. Who would dare to make a move against his son in broad daylight? Moreover, there were still three hundred Blood Wolf Guards in the county city.
As the sun rose, the dense forest was as cool as autumn. Zhou Yang walked while looking at the Five Element Tracking Disk.
This time entering the Old Vine Forest, other than completing the trial, he had something more important to do. That was to find the Fire-tailed Beast. Even if he couldn't kill it, he had to confirm the location of its nest.
"The place where I met Lin Wanqing last time should be on the west side of the Old Vine Forest, while I'm in the southeast. The Old Vine Forest is about thirty li wide, and the distance between the two places is at least twenty li …"
Zhou Yang frowned and immediately walked west. On the way, he didn't forget to look for the Storm Leopard.

"Da da da …"
From the depths of the forest came the sound of hurried footsteps. Although it was far away, it was exceptionally ear-piercing in the quiet forest.
Zhou Yang didn't even think about it and chased after it. After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, he found a series of footprints on the ground.
"These footprints belong to both humans and Ferocious Beasts. Looking at the Ferocious Beast footprints, it should be the Storm Leopard without a doubt."
Someone had found the Storm Leopard.
