C89 Tianchi Mountains

Three days passed in the blink of an eye!

The moment Chu Hen opened the door, a gust of fresh air rushed towards him.

Chu Hen felt refreshed, his ears and eyes were bright and clear, and he was brimming with energy. He could not help but release an imposing aura that was obviously stronger than three days ago.

"Junior Brother Chu Hen." The mouse's voice sounded from behind him.

"Ha, you still know how to come out? Three days without any activity, I thought you died inside." Mu Feng sat on a step as he crossed his legs and wore a 'roguish' smile.

Chu Hen retorted without a trace of politeness, "Are you eating too much garlic? So early in the morning, your mouth is already so dirty."

"F**k off. You're the one who eats garlic. I, Handsome Feng, never eat garlic."

"Stop arguing!" Mouse had a slight headache, "It's almost time to go to the Seven Stars Plaza to meet up."

Half a month ago, Mouse had also opened the ninth Martial Vein and stepped into the Rank Nine of Vein Opening Stage. Naturally, he would also be able to participate in the 'Hunting in the Tianchi Mountain' event this time.

When he said this, Mu Feng's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately jumped up from the ground.

"Hehe, so cool! Mentor Xi Lan will be leading the team and Bai Yuyue will be participating in the mission. Both of my ultimate goals…Aye, you two, wait for me! I say, fuck, what's the rush?"

Without waiting for Mu Feng to finish speaking, Chu Hen and Mouse immediately headed outside. The two of them would ignore Mu Feng's 'shamelessness' at this point.

At this moment, Seven Stars Plaza!

About five or six hundred young men and women gathered here. The scene was lively and the bright and melodious voices were filled with youthful vigor. Everyone was brimming with excited smiles.

For the vast majority of the people present, this was the first time that they were heading towards the Tianchi Mountain Range to participate in an event.

Especially since they were travelling together, they would more or less feel like they were going on an outing.

"Senior Brother Chu Hen, you're here!"

Li Huiye, Zhou Lu and the others stepped forward to welcome them.

He Qingyuan, Liu Yue also looked over to greet them.

Chu Hen replied each and every one of them with a smile.

The current Chu Hen could be considered famous in Heavenly Star Martial Mansion. From the fact that he won the championship at the Star Rifle Conference and that he was able to receive the three ultimate moves of Ren Wei, who were at Rank Six of Essence Mastering Stage, these two things alone were enough to make many senior students feel ashamed.

"Humph, what's there to be proud of?" Wu Ze, who was at the other side, shot a cold look at Chu Hen, then said to Bian Hong, "Senior brother Bian Hong, I think you need to find an opportunity to subdue him and teach him to be humble."

Bian Hong sneered. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking indifferent. "He's just a newcomer. There's no need to bother about him. However, if I have the chance, it's only right for me as a senior brother to teach him how to behave himself."

Wu Ze's eyes surged with a bit of coldness.

Back then, when he was defeated by Chu Hen on the Wooden Pile Array, he had always been angry and resentful. It would be better only after he vented his anger.

Chu Hen roughly looked around, and did not see many Newbie Students.

Of course, this was also normal. This year, Heavenly Star Martial Mansion did not recruit many new disciples, and there were even less people at Rank Nine of Vein Opening Stage and above. Even Li Huiye, Zhou Lu, Mouse and the others had all levelled up only recently.

Right at this moment, a young figure that was located on the other side of the plaza appeared in Chu Hen's sight.

It was a girl dressed in a white dress with fragmented flowers. She was elegant and aloof, standing there silently like a pure white lotus, fresh and pure…

Many of the men looked at her, whether intentionally or unintentionally, but from beginning to end, no one came forward to talk to her.

"Wow, Bai Yuyue!" Mu Feng was surprised and excited to the point that he almost jumped up.

She was Bai Yuyue?

Chu Hen was slightly startled, but was not too surprised. He had pretty much guessed that it was her.

"Hehe, today, I, Handsome Feng, will show you my 'Thirty-Six Stratagems for Pick-up'." Mu Feng 'elegantly' flung his hair and walked forward with large strides.

But before he even took two steps, He Qingyuan's voice sounded from behind him. “If you don't want to die young, I advise you to obediently stay here."

"Hmm?" Mu Feng's heart skipped a beat. He turned his head and glared at the other party, "What did you say?"

"Senior Sister Bai's temper isn't that good, and she doesn't like people annoying her. If you're lucky, you might just break a few ribs. If you're unlucky, you'll be paralyzed in bed for the rest of your life!"

He Qingyuan's words caused even Chu Hen to be stunned.

Was he trying to scare Mu Feng on purpose?

Bai Yuyue looked gentle and virtuous in all aspects. Those clear and pure eyes of a lady from a noble family were gentle. She looked just like a docile little lamb. How could her temper be bad?

But looking at He Qingyuan's expression, it did not seem like he was joking.

Mu Feng swallowed his saliva, and said with a strange expression, "I say, senior brother, can you stop teasing me? As a junior brother, I'm scared! Bai Yuyue looks as meek and cute as a kitten, how could she have a bad temper?"

"Why do you think none of the men here dared to speak to her?"

"Then tell me, were the men who harassed her before too ugly? Since I'm so handsome, I should be treated differently, right?"

"Then go and try it for yourself," He Qingyuan raised his hand and invited him.

But seeing the 'malicious' smile on He Qingyuan and the rest, Mu Feng got goosebumps. His eyes turned to Mouse beside him and said, "Mouse, go try it out."

Mouse naturally refused. He didn't want to participate in this matter to begin with.

Chu Hen would never help him to do such a thing.

After Mu Feng hesitated for a while, he decided to observe for a while before taking any action.

Everyone was too lazy to care about him, but they were slowly getting more used to this crazy Mu Feng.

After a while, Xi Lan and the six mentors of the Heavenly Star Martial Mansion arrived.

Xi Lan's Cultivation was something that no one needed to worry about, but it was after all the first time she was leading a team to Tianchi Mountain Range. Thus, President Jiang arranged for two high-level mentors and three middle-level mentors to assist her with the mission.

"Hua!"

Seeing Mentor Xi Lan's appearance, the atmosphere of the plaza immediately became restless.

A light breeze blew past. It pulled up a strand of Xi Lan's purple hair. Her beautiful eyes flowed as her long eyelashes gently fluttered. She looked at the faces in front of her that were not much younger than hers. Her red lips slightly parted as she said, "Let's go!"

Let's go!

In a split-second, the team orderly walked towards the academy's entrance.

Tianchi Mountain Range!

This dangerous place was located more than fifty kilometers southwest of Imperial Capital City. Like the Boneless Mountain Range, the Tianchi Mountain Range was a place where Demonic Beasts ran rampant and danger lurked. There were also many people from various clans who had gathered here. There were even some local residents who had lived there for generations.

The sky was clear and the eagles were soaring!

The deep blue sky covered the wilderness. The vast and unstable mountains and rivers were like an endless green ocean.

In the depths of the endless forest, the roars of all sorts of unknown Demonic Beasts sounded like interweaving music, but anyone who heard it would feel a dense, mysterious, and heart-palpitating sense of danger.

The marching speed of the Heavenly Star Martial Mansion team was still very fast, there were no delays during the journey.

In less than two days' time, the Heavenly Star Martial Mansion team had already reached the periphery area.

The gloomy, dark forest seemed full of unknown factors.

Many of the students who came with the mindset of "sightseeing" immediately lost their original interest. Some of the timid girls even hid behind their companions.

"Mentor Xi Lan, the distance from here to Tianchi Mountain Range is about five kilometers, and the terrain is flat, so it's more suitable to camp here."

The one who spoke was a tall mentor called Zuo Mo, who was one of the two high-level mentors assisting Xi Lan.

The other high-level mentor was a woman around the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight. She had neat and fresh short hair, and looked a bit younger than the rest. Her name was Luo Shan.

Xi Lan did not have any objections against setting up camp here.

"Deal with the things here! I'll go check if there are any Demonic Beasts that might pose any threat."

"Let me go! Mentor Xi Lan." Luo Shan said, "You are the commander of this event. If there's anything, you can tell us, and we will do it."

Xi Lan shook her head, "I'm fine. I will just take a look around and will be back soon."

After she finished speaking, Xi Lan left.

"Mentor Xi Lan is really cautious!" A student said.

"Yes, although Mentor Xi Lan usually doesn't talk much, she is actually the one who cares the most about her students."

"She didn't want anything to happen to any of the students. That's why she was so strict."

Hearing the people discussing, Chu Hen started to ponder.

That day, he had nearly been injured by Ren Wei's fifth set of iron chains, and even Song Chenglie, who was the closest to him, had no time to rescue him. This meant that she had been preparing to save him from the very beginning. That was the reason why the willow leaf flew over so accurately and in time.

It seemed that Mentor Xi Lan was even more venerable than he had imagined.

"I will briefly describe the content of this session's 'Hunting in the Tianchi Mountain'," said the tall Mentor Zuo Mo as he faced the young students in front of him. “If you go out to hunt demons during the day, you have to return before the nightfall. The students who perform outstandingly in this mission will receive five hundred to five thousand star points as a reward."

Five thousand star points?

All of the students' eyes lit up. This reward was truly worth it.

Most of the students present were seniors, with a certain amount of Star Scores. If they could have the extra 5,000 star points, a lot of students could change the color of their badges.

By then, the material resources they would get from the academy would also increase by several levels…
