The wolves retreated due to their talent, and Lin Dong was furious when the skinny monkey was caught!

In the forest!

Dozens of large Demon Wolves, with their eerie green eyes like evil spirits in the forest, chased a woman, who was running frantically.

Mu Qian cried as she ran, "Oh Mama, why am I so unlucky today!"

She didn't understand. She was just passing by, and for some reason, she saw dozens of wolves. These wolves were chasing her as if they had gone mad.

She couldn't fight them, and she couldn't outrun them!

Whoosh!

Just then, a figure in white suddenly appeared in front of her. Mu Qian was stunned for a moment, as if she had seen a savior.

"Hmm? Someone finally came?"

"And he's a Core Formation expert! Help me, little brother!"

"Don't speak..."

Mu Qian thought Lin Dong was going to take her and run, but to her surprise, Lin Dong bypassed Mu Qian and looked at the dozens of Yao Beasts with shining eyes, as if in his eyes, the Yao Beasts were beautiful women.

"Are you crazy! Do you want to be a hero saving a beauty?"

"Hurry and go! With so many Yao Beasts, aren't you just going to your death?"

Mu Qian shrieked. She thought Lin Dong was just a fool. Couldn't he see so many Yao Beasts? Even if Lin Dong was a Core Formation expert, he couldn't take on so many Yao Beasts!

Had he gone mad wanting to be a hero saving a beauty?

To be honest, for a moment, she really wanted to abandon Lin Dong and run.

As the saying goes, rather a Fellow Daoist die than I!

As long as Lin Dong delayed them for a bit, she could escape.

But her conscience wouldn't allow her to do that.

She wasn't a heartless person. After all, Lin Dong had come to save her, and abandoning Lin Dong like this was something she couldn't do.

"What's going on?"

Mu Qian turned to grab Lin Dong, but in an instant, she saw the scene before her and froze in place.

This... Is this an expert?

When Lin Dong appeared, the dozens of wolves all stopped, their eyes full of fierce light, looking at Lin Dong with apprehension, baring their fangs and growling lowly.

Lin Dong's body carried the aura of a Wolf King, a strong scent of blood.

The Yao Beasts were not unintelligent. It wasn't hard to guess that their pack's Wolf King had likely died at the hands of this young man, so they dared not act rashly.

"Interesting!"

Lin Dong found that he could actually understand the meaning of the Yao Beasts' whimpers.

It turned out that this girl had suffered from his unprovoked disaster. These wolf Yao Beasts had come after hearing the Wolf King's dying wails, wanting to avenge the Wolf King.

"Scram!"

Lin Dong said indifferently.

Mu Qian watched the scene nervously, not understanding what Lin Dong was going to do.

The wolf pack's eyes flickered with cold, eerie light, and their low growls continuously echoed through the forest, pressing closer step by step, as if they were about to attack Lin Dong!

"Wolf King Talent, activate!"

But the next moment, Lin Dong secretly shouted in his heart, and a hint of eerie green, like a Yao Beast's, but even deeper, flashed in his eyes.

An invisible, terrifying oppressive force swept over them.

These Yao Beasts whimpered, as if they had seen their Wolf King. They instantly tucked their tails between their legs, their eyes full of terror, and slowly rolled back a hundred meters.

"Not bad!"

Seeing this, Lin Dong's lips curved slightly. A small test, and he was very satisfied, but he realized the external scrutiny and did not display too many methods.

"This..."

Mu Qian's red lips parted wide, as if they could fit a candied haw, she looked at the wolf pack, then curiously at Lin Dong.

"What kind of move is this?"

Outside, everyone saw this scene and were shocked. They had expected to see Lin Dong make a move, but who knew Lin Dong had repelled dozens of Yao Beasts with a single word.

What kind of bizarre move was this?

They had never seen such a method!

An Assessment Elder's eyes flickered with deep meaning, and he said, "The Yao Beasts are not unintelligent. They must have felt the Wolf King's aura and blood on Lin Dong, knowing that Lin Dong was not to be trifled with, and so they left."

Everyone suddenly understood. Besides this, there was no other possibility, and they did not consider other aspects.

"This humble one is Mu Qian! Many thanks to my benefactor for saving me!"

Mu Qian cupped her fists and bowed to Lin Dong, then looked at Lin Dong curiously, "May I ask my benefactor to tell this humble one your name!"

"Lin Dong!"

Lin Dong said indifferently, not even looking at Mu Qian, and returned the way he came.

Mu Qian followed behind him, showing surprise, "Lin Dong? So you are Lin Dong, known as the biggest dark horse of this session!"

Lin Dong raised an eyebrow. Was his reputation that widespread?

Mu Qian then said, "But, benefactor, why are you hiding here?"

Lin Dong, "Hiding? What do you mean?"

"Ah? You don't know?" Mu Qian said, "Bai Han is frantically searching for you outside. Oh right, I heard your little brother was captured by them! Aren't you hiding here to avoid the limelight?"

"What!"

"Bai Han, you seek death!"

Upon hearing that Skinny Monkey was in trouble, a terrifying aura suddenly burst forth from Lin Dong, sweeping across the entire forest, clearly indicating his true anger.

Mu Qian was so frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.

So strong, such terrifying pressure!

Is this the aura a Core Formation Cultivator can emit?

She was, after all, a small Genius at Chongmai Realm Seventh Level, but in front of Lin Dong, she couldn't even muster a thought of resistance.

"Calm down, benefactor, calm down!"

Mu Qian said tremblingly, "With so many people from the academy watching the assessment, Bai Han wouldn't dare do anything to Hou Zhan in plain sight."

"Hoo... I apologize, I was just a bit too anxious! I overlooked that!"

Hearing this, Lin Dong calmed down. Bai Han merely wanted to capture Skinny Monkey to lure him out, and he probably wouldn't dare to kill Skinny Monkey.

"Are you alright!"

Lin Dong stepped forward and helped Mu Qian up.

Mu Qian shook her head, her back soaked with sweat, and looked at Lin Dong with lingering fear. Was this the strength an Outer Courtyard Disciple could possess?

Lin Dong, "Do you know the whereabouts of Skinny Monkey and Bai Han?"

Mu Qian, "I do not!"

Lin Dong said, "Thank you for telling me this news!"

Mu Qian smiled, "Benefactor, there's no need to be polite. If not for your rescue, my fate would be unpredictable. Hmm? Is this... a Fourth-Rank Wolf King?"

As she spoke, the two arrived at the spot where Lin Dong had just been barbecuing. When Mu Qian saw Lin Dong put away the corpse of a Fourth-Rank Yao Beast, her pretty face once again showed surprise.

Could it be that the benefactor killed a Fourth-Rank Yao Beast? No wonder these Yao Beasts were afraid of him!

Lin Dong quickly put the remaining Yao Beast meat into his storage ring.

A Yao Beast's entire body was a treasure; it couldn't be wasted.

He also collected some of the Yao Beast's essence blood. This stuff was very useful for Cultivators and could be given to Steward Guan and the Cultivators of the Lin family to improve their Physiques.

"Miss Mu, take care. I must go find Skinny Monkey!"

Lin Dong had no time to dwell on Mu Qian's shock. He put away his things, left a sentence, and headed deeper into the forest.

Watching Lin Dong's retreating figure, Mu Qian felt that Bai Han was absolutely no match for Lin Dong.

Lin Dong did not act like a headless fly, searching for the two like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Instead, he caught up with the Yao Beasts, wanting to make reasonable use of resources.

He silently gave orders to the Yao Beasts to find the whereabouts of Skinny Monkey and Bai Han! He also threw Skinny Monkey's items to them to sniff.

Dozens of Yao Beasts began to move. With their large numbers and keen sense of smell, it wouldn't be long before the whereabouts of the two would be found.

"My goodness!"

"Could it be that Bai Han and Lin Dong have a grudge?"

Everyone present showed anticipation. They had thought the two would meet later, but they didn't expect them to confront each other on the first day of the assessment?

What would be the outcome when a dark horse that suddenly emerged from the Outer Courtyard met the number one person in the Outer Courtyard?
