"heyy.... Kiba, let's go play outside. I wanna go hunting, let's go, come on" as soon as Ash reached the room Kiba lived in, he blurted out the first words that come to mind.
"yea sure, i wanna test out my new power as well, let's go hunting in the forest behind your house, there were some pretty strong beasts out there. " as soon as kiba said the forest behind your house, Ash gave himself a mental thumbs up, the tomb was in that forest, and he knew that was the first place that would come to mind.
"ok lets go, last one to reach there has to protect the winner."(ash)
"you better not regret it later."(kiba)
As soon as they said those words, they immediately rushed to the forest there, completely ignoring the warnings from the guards.
As the forest came to sight, both ash and kiba rushed there at their fastest speed. Surprisingly, both 2 reached the forest at the same exact time, in the same exact millisecond.
"god, how does this happen everytime, fine whatever, we will both protect each other, you like that idea ash."
"sure, let's go."
As soon as these words were exchanged, they rushed deep into the forest, around the middle region, they used to hunt here before, but right now, they were different, they reached the Qi sea realm. The 2 decided to venture into the core area of the forest, someplace not many bothered to go into.
Some simply didn't have enough strength, while those who did, would usually go to forests, or other places with more resources, but they didn't need much resources anyways, so it didn't matter where they went really.
From the distance, they could see a huge mountain, and on that mountain was a seemingly small cave compared to the mountain. That small cave was near the peak of the mountain. "hey Kiba, first one next to that cave is the winner, 3..2...1 go"
As soon these words left his mouth, they both darted towards the cave, but things weren't as easy ad they thought they would be. They encountered dozens of beasts on their way up the mountain. The higher they went, the higher the monsters cultivation level was, the monsters went from small fry 1 or snd stage qi gathering beasts to Qi sea realm beasts pretty quickly. There were all kinds of beasts on the way up, but fortunately, there wasn't any beast that was above the 3rd stage of Wi sea realm, although there was only 1,it was still a close fight for the both of them. Normally, fighting a rank above you makes you a genius, and both of them could fight a 2nd stage Qi sea realm, they still managed a 3rd stage beast with the both of them.
After they finally arriving near the cave, the two young elves decided to explore what was inside, as soon as they entered, a strange voice sounded in their heads. "how rare, 2 geniuses of your level appeared here, and you seem to have a really good friendship. Fascinating."
