"Five days from now. This is the official news from Aoran College." Xu Qian's expression was filled with uncontrollable excitement. Every time there was a Beast Tide, the students would make a fortune. This time was no exception.
"Beast Tide … I wonder what's behind this," Su Yun murmured.
"Let's leave these questions for the powerhouses to consider. It's said that when the Beast Tide arrives, all the forces in Soran Castle will be mobilized. When the time comes, there will be friction. We have to prepare in advance, "Xu Qian said worriedly.
"How should we prepare?" Su Yun asked.
"Under such circumstances, the strength of a few people is extremely limited. Not only will the efficiency of hunting spirit beasts be extremely low, but we will also be easily controlled by others. Therefore, it's best that we act together with the Tang Sect's Gale Mercenary Group," Xu Qian said.
"Gale Mercenary Group …" Su Yun knew that this was the force established by the Tang Sect in Soran Castle. Its core was the Tang Sect's disciples who graduated from Aoran College.
"Yes. Since we're also members of the Tang Sect, it's best that we act together," Xu Qian said.
Su Yun nodded. "What about Night As Fire?"
"He broke through to the early stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm last time. I'm afraid he's still consolidating in the Cultivation Tower," Xu Qian said.
"Okay, let's inform them that we'll meet at the entrance of Aoran College in five days. We'll meet up with the Gale Mercenary Group then," Su Yun said.
"Okay," Xu Qian responded, then turned and left. He was afraid that Su Yun would forget about this when he was cultivating, so he specially came to remind him. It seemed that he was more concerned about this than he was.
After Xu Qian left, Su Yun returned to the second building and sat down. He had just completed his Body Tempering, so he still needed to consolidate it. Especially the changes to his internal organs. Under the impact of the lightning power, he had suffered serious injuries. Although he had survived in the end, he didn't dare to be careless.
…
Just like that, five days of boring cultivation passed by. In the morning, Su Yun walked out of the Celestial Pavilion and headed straight for the entrance of Aoran College.
"As expected, the academy has officially announced the news." As Su Yun walked past, Aoran College was in an uproar. There were dozens of people at most and three to five at least. They formed groups and were ready to go. This was enough to show how important this beast tide was to the students.
However, Aoran College never asked about the hunting of spirit beasts. They were only responsible for purchasing Reiki. Perhaps this was also a disguised form of encouragement.
Under this kind of atmosphere, Su Yun could not help but become excited, and the speed of his flashing figure unconsciously increased.
"After Lei Zhu's Body Tempering, my overall combat strength has indeed improved!" Su Yun felt the explosive power in his body, and his confidence swelled like never before.
At the entrance of Aoran College, Night As Fire, Xu Qian, Huang Zhan, and the others were chatting. When they saw Su Yun, they all smiled and walked over.
"You've improved a lot again!" Night As Fire hammered Su Yun's chest heavily, as if he was testing Su Yun's body.
When Su Yun came over, Night As Fire felt a sense of oppression. He didn't know if it was spiritual power, but more of it came from his strong body!
"You too. You've completely stabilized at the early stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm. Steady progress is the right way to go." Su Yun smiled.
"I don't know how you cultivate. When we first met, you were only at the early stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm. Now, it's only been half a year, but you've already cultivated to this level." Huang Zhan sighed. He had just broken through to the late stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm. It wasn't easy for him to find a little bit of confidence, but it was mercilessly shattered.
Su Yun laughed and didn't say much on this topic.
Tang Xiaofeng and An Yuqing had also improved. Seeing how close they were, Su Yun smiled knowingly.
These people's aptitudes weren't bad to begin with. After entering Aoran College, they made use of the resources and accumulated a lot. In this short period of time, they had improved a lot.
"Where's Tang Xue?" Su Yun asked.
"Oh, she's being taken care of by her older brother, of course," Huang Zhan said. It seemed that they had met quite often.
Su Yun was relieved when he heard that. A naive little girl like Tang Xue would probably be sold off and still have to count the money. Having Tang Hao taking care of her was naturally the most appropriate thing.
"Isn't he participating in this hunt?" Su Yun asked.
"The beast tide is an opportunity for people like us. However, for those in the top twenty of the Ling Yao Leaderboard, they're more willing to accept other missions or cultivate in seclusion to reach a higher level," Xu Qian said.
"If that's the case, the strongest opponent must be from outside the Canglan School." Su Yun said. He still remembered that Chalons had said that they might meet again during the beast tide. In other words, the factions outside of Aoran College would not let go of this opportunity. After all, their priority was not to cultivate.
"Other than the competition from them, there's something even more troublesome." Night As Fire's expression was slightly serious.
"Oh? What else? "Su Yun stopped walking and asked.
"Every year, the beast tide will take away the lives of many prodigies," Night As Fire said in a low voice.
Xu Qian's expression also became serious. "People only see the opportunity brought by the beast tide, but they overlook the seemingly insignificant danger."
"When the beast tide arrives, the spirit beasts in the depths of Lin Yuan will run to the outskirts because of a riot. Some of the spirit beasts are not something that ordinary people can handle. Moreover, the spirit beasts in this period of time are more bloodthirsty and aggressive. They're the most violent, "Xu Qian continued.
"In a sense, the hunter and the prey are not fixed and unchanging." Ye Ruhuo's words were shocking.
Everyone stopped in their tracks. Clearly, they were extremely shocked by his words.
"The weak … are prey to the strong," Su Yun said slowly, then walked forward.
The rest of the people were stunned for a moment, then they also walked forward. However, they felt an inexplicable pressure in their hearts, and they no longer felt as relaxed as before.
The headquarters of the Gale Mercenary Group was in Soran Castle, which was not far from Aoran College. They arrived in less than 15 minutes.
"Brother Wu, I didn't expect you to come so early!" Xu Qian cupped his fists at a burly young man who walked out of the Gale Mercenary Group.
"He's Su Yun, the champion of the Freshman Competition," Xu Qian said to Su Yun. "This is the vice-captain of the Gale Mercenary Group, Brother Wu Ming, ranked 18th on the Ling Jue List. He's the one who led the Gale Mercenary Group to hunt in Lin Yuan."
Su Yun cupped his fists with a smile. Wu Ming was at the peak of the Spiritual Leader Realm, and he was ranked 18th on the Ling Jue List. Obviously, he was not as simple as he looked.
"I've often heard Xu Qian mention you. Now that I've met you, you're indeed extraordinary," Wu Ming said with a smile.
"Brother Wu, you flatter me." Su Yun waved his hand and smiled. "I'll have to rely on you for this hunt."
"Since you're a member of the Tang Sect, you're naturally a member of the Gale Mercenary Group. We're family," Wu Ming said.
Su Yun felt that Wu Ming was a straightforward person, and he liked his approach.
"Brother Wu, you're a straightforward person. It's admirable," Su Yun said sincerely.
"Let's not talk about this. Now that the Flaming Moon Mercenary Group has turned out in full force, and the Blood Lion Mercenary Group and the Snow Wind Mercenary Group are also ready to make a move, we should set out!" There was a strange look in Wu Ming's eyes, but Su Yun could not understand it.
The Flaming Moon Mercenary Group was the Yue Clan's force in Soran Castle, and the Snow Clan and the Blood Lion Clan each had their own territory.
"Well, I'm sure the other forces in Soran Castle are not idle either," Xu Qian said.
"I've just received news that the Qin Clan, Wen Clan, Sha Clan, and Yang Clan have all started to make a move," Wu Ming said.
"That's fast. They've already reacted as soon as the academy released the news!" Xu Qian said.
Every time there was a Beast Tide, Aoran College would collect large amounts of Reiki, mainly from the academy. At the same time, they would also purchase Reiki provided by forces outside the academy.
As for what Aoran College would do with these Reiki, no one knew.
"The Gale Mercenary Group has been ready for a long time. We're just waiting for you," Wu Ming said.
The Gale Mercenary Group was derived from the Tang Sect, and its roots were in the Donghua Empire. Tang Xiaofeng and the others were from the Donghua Empire's noble families, so they naturally had some special treatment.
"Now, let's set out!"
Su Yun clearly noticed that a strange look flashed in Wu Ming's eyes.
Unable to figure it out, Su Yun did not dwell on it. Perhaps there was a story behind it.
The Gale Mercenary Group had a strong foundation. More than 30 people who participated in the hunt were all in the Spiritual Leader Realm, ranging from the early stage to the late stage. There were even two masters at the peak of the Spiritual Leader Realm!
Yang Yi and Feng Muren. They were all former students of Aoran College.
Together with Su Yun and the others, this was also a force to be reckoned with. The group of people marched out of Soran Castle. Their target — Lin Yuan!
…
Within the Canglan Academy, in an inconspicuous valley amidst the mountains.
The waterfall that was hanging down suddenly splashed a layer of water, and a loud rumble was heard.
"Big Brother! You're finally out of seclusion! "Luo Quan said happily as he looked at the fiery-red figure shooting down in front of him.
"Yes. How long have you been waiting here? "
Red robes, red hair, and even his eyes were a little red. This was not because of Qi Deviation, but because he had cultivated the Blood Lion Technique!
This person was Aoran College's Blood Lion, who was ranked fifth on the Supremacy Ranking List!
"I heard that Big Brother will be out of seclusion soon, so I've been waiting here since yesterday," Luo Quan said.
"Why are you so enthusiastic? What's the matter?" Blood Lion stood with his hands behind his back, emitting a strong pressure.
"Hmm …" Luo Quan did not know how to start, so he said tentatively, "Today is the day of the Beast Tide. Big Brother has just come out of seclusion, so he can take this opportunity to move around."
"Beast Tide?" Blood Lion raised his head slightly, his gaze seemed to pass through the mountains and straight to Lin Yuan.
"If you have something to say, just say it," Blood Lion said after a moment.
Luo Quan knew that he could not hide his intentions. "Big Brother will go, firstly, to raise the morale of the Blood Lion Mercenary Group, and secondly …"
Luo Quan paused for a moment. "Su Yun will also go to Lin Yuan to hunt, and he should be going with the guys from the Wind Mercenary Group."
"Su Yun?" Blood Lion had some recollection of this name, because Luo Quan had mentioned it many times in front of him. Moreover, this should be a very restless guy.
"I feel like something's missing … it's time to go out for a walk," Blood Lion said to himself.
Those few fellows seemed to have already left them in the dust.
"You go first, I'll catch up later," Blood Lion said.
Luo Quan's face lit up when he heard this, and he turned around and dashed away.
Seeing Luo Quan's figure disappear into the distance, Blood Lion clenched his fist, and a blood-red wind instantly rose around him.
Blood Lion looked at his fist, and after a moment, suddenly punched out. With a loud bang, the small pond in front of him splashed water. However, not a single drop of water stained Blood Lion's red robes.
"What exactly is missing?" Blood Lion muttered to himself.
After standing still for a long time, the red figure flashed and disappeared.
