19: Nether Tiger

Tianhai Forest was, in essence, a rather large small forest.

It was all trees.

Visibility was very poor.

Especially at night.

One had to pay attention to every rustle and stir.

All the students nervously watched where Instructor Liu's gaze landed.

There was indeed movement!

"It must be a Yao Beast, let me handle it!"

In You Qianren's hand, flames wrapped around his sword.

Just then, a figure walked over.

"Chu Yunxuan?"

Seeing the person in front of them, everyone was startled.

Even Instructor Liu was momentarily stunned.

"I heard you guys shouting 'teach me a lesson, teach me a lesson' from so far away. What did I do?" Chu Yunxuan asked helplessly.

"What do you mean? Weren't you the one who challenged Tianhua University?"

"But I didn't challenge you guys, it has nothing to do with you."

You Qianren: "So what if I just don't like you? Is that not allowed?"

"Alright, alright."

Instructor Liu looked at Chu Yunxuan and asked, "You came alone?"

Chu Yunxuan nodded.

"Although you are not a student of Tianhua University, as a Martial Artist who just started, it's too dangerous to come to the Monster Beast Domain alone. Just follow our Class Three for now, so nothing happens."

Chu Yunxuan said, "I just saw a blue light at the edge of the Tianhai Forest outside, but I didn't find it when I came over."

Instructor Liu said, "That's normal, it's just a will-o'-the-wisp, no need to be nervous."

Then Instructor Liu explained to everyone:

"The so-called will-o'-the-wisp is actually phosphorescence, a very common natural phenomenon."

"Human Race bodies or Yao Beast skeletons contain a lot of calcium phosphate."

"After death, the bodies are buried underground and decompose, undergoing various chemical reactions."

"Phosphorus converts from phosphate to phosphine, which is a gaseous substance with a very low ignition point. It will ignite upon contact with air at room temperature, which is what everyone sees as a will-o'-the-wisp."

Everyone nodded.

Instructor Liu continued, "The Monster Beast Domain is full of Yao Beasts, countless races. To survive, it's normal for them to kill each other, so it's easy to see Yao Beast corpses everywhere, and there must also be a large number of already decomposed bodies."

"Therefore, when you see the so-called blue will-o'-the-wisp in the Monster Beast Domain, there's no need to be too nervous; it's usually based on this principle."

Everyone suddenly understood.

"Chu Yunxuan, do you understand?"

Chu Yunxuan nodded: "I understand."

"Alright, everyone continue deeper, stick close to your classmates, don't fall behind, continue your training. Chu Yunxuan, you come along too."

You Qianren said, "Instructor Liu, why bring him along? He'll affect our training."

"Exactly, exactly! Didn't he say he was capable enough to come out alone? Then let him continue to be alone."

"That's right, why bring him?"

A group of people also mumbled in agreement.

"Enough! No matter what grudges you have, once you're in the Monster Beast Domain, you are all of the Human Race, all brothers and sisters. Everyone must be united." Instructor Liu said.

"Understood."

You Qianren turned his head and glanced at Chu Yunxuan, who was following behind.

"Hmph."

Then he caught up with the main group.

The reason Chu Yunxuan was following them was not out of fear.

Instructor Liu was also right.

He initially thought it was a will-o'-the-wisp too.

However, he seemed to see that "will-o'-the-wisp" moving.

It might also have been too far to see clearly.

He was a little confused and wanted to see what was going on.

Swish—

A flame suddenly rushed towards them from the front.

Instructor Liu flashed forward, extending his hand to block it directly.

"A Mind Opening Realm three-star, Fire Attribute Redflame Lizard. You Qianren, it's still your turn."

"Alright!" You Qianren revealed a slight smile and rushed forward with his sword.

However...

Whoosh—

The next second, Chu Yunxuan sped past him.

"What the hell! Are you trying to steal my kill?" You Qianren's speed also sharply increased.

The two of them rushed over together.

A blue lightning flash.

The Redflame Lizard was instantly killed.

"Huh?" You Qianren's eyes widened.

"It just died?" He looked utterly bewildered.

Instructor Liu also frowned.

The lightning attribute was indeed strong.

But Chu Yunxuan was essentially a Mind Opening Realm four-star.

He didn't even hit a vital point, so it shouldn't have been an instant kill just by a lightning strike, right?

Is his Qi so strong?

"You wouldn't have been able to defeat it anyway." Chu Yunxuan said while collecting the Yao Beast core.

"I couldn't defeat it? Are you joking?"

"It's a Mind Opening Realm six-star, you wouldn't have had it that easy." Chu Yunxuan said.

Instructor Liu nodded: "It's my mistake, I misjudged. I thought it was a three-star. It's fine for Chu Yunxuan to kill it."

Everyone's mouths hung open.

A Mind Opening Realm four-star instantly killing a six-star?

Is that real or fake?

"Damn it! I can cross ranks and kill a Mind Opening Realm five-star, and a six-star too!" You Qianren said displeased.

"Alright, crossing two stars is too dangerous. Chu Yunxuan actually saved you."

"Hmph." You Qianren snorted coldly.

Instructor Liu then said, "Chu Yunxuan, if you encounter anything stronger, leave it to you. For weaker ones, let the students in my class get some training."

"Okay." Chu Yunxuan nodded.

At this moment, a girl pointed into the distance ahead and said:

"Instructor Liu, there's a will-o'-the-wisp."

Everyone looked.

Because it was too far, and the visibility in the forest was poor, they only saw a blue light.

"If I were alone, I'd definitely be scared to death, but now, I feel this blue light is quite pretty."

"Yeah, yeah."

"I'm going to take a look!" A girl curiously walked forward.

"I'm going too, I'm going too!"

"Be careful." Instructor Liu shouted.

"Okay." The two girls walked over hand in hand.

Their backs even looked a little excited.

Suddenly...

In the darkness of the night, the blue light suddenly erupted.

A blue breath surged forth, instantly engulfing the girl on the left.

"What!" Instructor Liu's pupils contracted!

Chu Yunxuan's brows also furrowed sharply.

Whoosh—

The other students' eyes widened.

The girl on the right, still holding her hand, her hair constantly flying from the force of the impact, froze directly.

She woodenly and slowly turned her head to the left.

The girl on the left had disappeared.

And her own hand...

Was still holding her warm right hand.

Only...

Now there was only a right hand and half an arm left.

"Ah—" The next second, she screamed.

"Run!" Instructor Liu roared, rushing over at his fastest speed.

He yanked the girl back, shielding her.

"Go back! Quickly!" Instructor Liu turned his head and yelled at her.

But the girl's whole body went limp.

She tried desperately to run back but directly fell to the ground.

She tried to stand up but couldn't.

She could only crawl back towards the others, crying.

And the students of Class Three were all greatly alarmed, their legs turning to jelly.

Chu Yunxuan rushed over, helped the girl up, and quickly brought her back.

"Thank you..." The girl cried as she thanked Chu Yunxuan.

"Go back! Back to the academy! Chu Yunxuan!" Instructor Liu roared.

At the same time, that Yao Beast also walked out.

It was probably over five meters long.

A tiger whose entire body was burning with a dark blue flame!

"A Xuantian Realm Netherworld Evil Tiger." Instructor Liu's pupils contracted!

Whoosh— The next second, he charged straight up.
