Sun Zhou Yi and Butcher Wang stood side by side, their eyes were deadly solemn as they looked at the creature in front of them.
Jagged Goat, a mutated goat that turned into a predacious beast. Saw-like teeth, dark red eyes, long and big circular horns, and two times bigger than the black boar they usually hunt.
This Jagged Goat was one of the strongest beasts in the Wood Class Beast category. It was rare to find a Jagged Goat. Usually, Sun Zhou Yi and Butcher would be happy if they met Jagged Goat, but not now.
They were wearing the training circlets which was weighted their movement down. The jagged goat was famous for its nimble movement and the saw-like teeth were a deadly weapon. Many heroes became the victims of the Jagged Goat's deadly teeth.
This was the worst time to encounter a Jagged Goat.
"Little Sun, we should take the training circlets off or we will be dead for sure!" Butcher Wang was a bit nervous as he voiced his thoughts.
Fighting against Jagged Goat with the training circlet was the same as suicide. Escaping was also not a choice for them, as it had faster speed.
It's been three days since they started the training, but both still had a hard time moving with the training circlets on their ankles.
However, to Butcher Wang's surprise, Sun Zhou Yi shook his head in disagreement. Sun Zhou Yi took the round shield from his back and pulled the sword from his waist.
"Uncle Wang, Master told us to not take the training circlets off, we can't take them off. I will face it head-on; you look for a chance to launch a sneak attack!" Sun Zhou put the round shield forward and approached the Jagged Goat with a slow step.
However, Butcher Wang immediately held Sun Zhou Yi's shoulder, "Oy, Little Sun, do not be reckless! Your Master will not know if we take the circlets off!"
Sun Zhou Yi ignored Butcher Wang and walked closer to the vigilant Jagged Goat. Jagged Goat also eyed these two, it took Butcher Wang and Sun Zhou Yi as its prey. Once the two showed their back to it, it would pounce to them.
But it became cautious now as Sun Zhou Yi approached it in a slow step. The fact each time Sun Zhou Yi stepped closer to Jagged Goat. It could hear the heavy steps of Sun Zhou Yi.
That heavy step made Jagged Goat cautious as it kept its eyes on Sun Zhou Yi. Sun Zhou Yi also cautiously approached the Jagged Goat.
Butcher Wang had exasperated look as Sun Zhou Yi did not heed his words. Then he looked at his ankles. He wanted to take the training circlet off, staring at the circlet for a few seconds, Butcher Wang let out a sigh.
"If I die, I will haunt you for the rest of your life!" Butcher Wang muttered in a low voice and he had a displeased look on his face. "You" in Butcher Wang's mouth was Heero of course.
After that, he chased after Sun Zhou Yi. He understood Sun Zhou Yi's arrangement, he had a lighter training circlet, so he could move faster than Sun Zhou Yi. It was the reason Sun Zhou Yi tasked him to launch a sneak attack while Sun Zhou Yi confronted Jagged Goat face to face.
As Sun Zhou Yi approached the Jagged Goat, he tried to recall what Heero taught him.
'Focusing my Ki to my feet… focusing my Ki to my feet… then reinforce my shield with Ki…'
With his eyes set on Jagged Goat, Sun Zhou Yi planned something in his mind. Even though he had not mastered Ki comprehension yet, he could control and use a bit of Ki inside his body to an actual fight.
He was one step ahead of Butcher Wang who still struggled to feel the Ki's existence. That was why he risked his life to know how strong the current him was. Jagged Goat was the right opponent.
Jagged Goat was strong for a Wood Class Hero, but he was familiar with Jagged Goat. This was not the first time he met it, he often encountered them while accompanying Butcher Wang on hunting.
With the nervous feeling, he felt, Sun Zhou Yi narrowed the distance between him and the Jagged Goat to seven meters.
'It will attack me when I reach six or five meters away…'
Just as Sun Zhou Yi predicted, when the distance between him and the Jagged Goat reached five meters, it moved. Jagged Goat's movement was fast, it moved to the left wanting to get to Sun Zhou Yi's side, avoiding the round shield.
Jagged Goat was quite smart as it avoided a face-to-face confrontation against Sun Zhou Yi. After it got to Sun Zhou Yi's left, Jagged Goat pounced toward Sun Zhou Yi. It opened its mouth wide, showing its scary saw-like teeth.
Sun Zhou Yi took a deep breath.
'Focus my Ki to the feet and leap!'
Sun Zhou Yi turned to his left and leaped toward Jagged Goat who was in the air. He put his round shield forward.
'And then, reinforce my shield with my Ki to strengthen my shield!'
Jagged Goat was surprised by Sun Zhou Yi's quick response. Noticing its prey also pounced toward it, Jagged Goat moved its hard hoof forward.
Klang!
CRACK!
The round metal shield and Jagged Goat's hoof clashed.
Sun Zhou Yi was prepared to receive a big force of Jagged Goat, but to his surprise, he felt nothing. Yes, when the shield and the hoof clashed, he felt nothing. The force of Jagged Goat that he anticipated to come did not arrive. Instead, he heard the sound of bone breaking as he pushed the shield forward.
Bam!
Sun Zhou Yi pinned the Jagged Goat down to the ground with ease. He pulled the shield and distanced himself from Jagged Goat.
BAAAA! BAAAA!
Jagged Goat was whimpering in pain on the ground. It could not stand up anymore after Sun Zhou Yi pushed it down to the ground. Its two forelegs were broken, white bones showed up from the joints as blood flooded the gray fur.
Sun Zhou Yi stunned, likewise Butcher Wang. Both looked at Jagged Goat in a daze and shock could not be hidden from their expression.
One of the strongest Wood Level Beasts was down in one push. After a moment, Sun Zhou Yi turned around to Butcher Wang and Butcher Wang also looked back at Sun Zhou Yi.
Both men froze on the spot as they stared at each other with a shocked expression.
...
Heero did not know what his disciple and semi disciple encountered. Currently, he was excited as a new face came to the noodles shop.
After three days he posted the thread, the strategy finally started to work.
At 10 am, a challenger came to Miao Miao Noodles Shop. Moreover, the challenger was not alone, he came with two people.
The challenger was a good-looking man in his early twenties. Meanwhile, the two other people were a woman and a man. The woman was attractive and was about the same age as the challenger.
She brought a smartwatch and, on the smartwatch, showed the girl's face. There was also a barrage of texts that appeared on the smartwatch's screen. This woman was a famous vlogger and currently investigating the truth behind the Handsome Brutal Savage incident, Mu Xue.
The man beside Mu Xue had a muscular body, thick face, small eyes, and there were many red spots on his cheeks. He was Mu Xue's friend.
The good-looking challenger was also a vlogger, Yun Qiu Fan. Yun Qiu Fan did not come to investigate the Handsome Brutal Savage incident, but for the noodles. He was a spicy food lover, so when he read Heero's post, he decided to try the noodles.
"Wow! The waiter is handsome, but he seems a bit different from the picture. This waiter is more handsome than the one in the picture!"
Mu Xue exclaimed, and then a barrage of chat showed on the smartwatch's screen. As she exclaimed in surprise, she directed the smartwatch's camera towards Heero.
Mu Xue was live streaming and showed Heero's face to her viewers. Another barrage and fast text appeared on the screen!
"Wow, he is handsome!"
"Mumu, ask his ID! Ask his ID!"
"Mumu, don't get deceived by him. He is handsome, but he is also brutal!"
"Yeah, Mumu, do not get closer to him, or else he might break your hand!"
"Handsome Brutal Savage, get away from our Mumu!"
"Get away from our Mumu!"
Various kinds of responses flooded in Mu Xue's channel. Most of them were telling Heero to get away from the beautiful Mu Xue.
Heero ignored Mumu and focused on Yun Qiu Fan. He was helping Yun Qiu Fan set his camera while Han Ying and Hong Yu were busy in the kitchen, preparing the Level 5 Spicy Noodles.
Yun Qiu Fan set three cameras from three different angles.
After a moment, Han Ying was back with a bowl of Spicy Noodles. The bowl was still steamed out of hot air, the bright yellow noodles flooded by a dark red broth, and three slices of lizard meat on the top.
Meanwhile, Hong Yu put a glass of water beside the bowl. The water was prepared just in case the challenger could not bear with the spiciness.
"Guys, Level 5 Spicy Noodles has arrived. Let's see what Level 5 Spicy Noodles look like!"
Mu Xue got closer to Yun Qiu Fan and take a shot of the bowl. Looking at the dark red broth, Mu Xue swallowed a mouthful of saliva. By just looking at the bowl, she could already tell the noodles were super spicy.
The chat also briefly stopped when the bow was shot. It was a few seconds pause before another barrage of chats appeared.
"I bet the cook only put chili powder in it!"
"This noodles shop is a scam, a chili powder broth. Of course, it will be super spicy!
"Only 'M' will eat this kind of noodles!"
"Mumu, tell Yun Qiu Fan to not eat the noodles! Leave the shop immediately!"
Even though it looked super spicy, but the aroma that came out from the noodles was not spicy. It was a pleasant fragrance; Yun Qiu Fan could not tell it what fragrance it was.
Meanwhile, Heero, Hong Yu, and Han Ying had an expectant look. This was a golden chance to rise from the crisis.
Yun Qiu Fan ignored the people around him. After making sure the three cameras worked properly, he immediately picked the chopstick.
He dipped the chopstick into the bowl and brought the noodles covered in dark red broth into his mouth.
Slurpppppppppppppppp!
Heero, Hong Yu, and Han Ying were waiting for Yun Qiu Fan's response. The three were quite nervous inside. But the evaluation they waited for did not come, they only heard a slurp voice. Yun Qiu Fan did not stop slurping the noodles.
Only after a few seconds since he started eating the noodles, sweat start to flood his face. Yun Qiu Fan's eyes and cheeks turned red from the spiciness. However, he did not stop. No, it was not that he did not stop, but he just could not stop slurping the noodles.
In two minutes, he emptied the noodles. After that, he brought the bowl to his mouth and drank the remaining broth. He cleaned everything in the bowl.
After that, Yun Qiu Fan took the glass and emptied the water. After everything was done, he released out a satisfied sigh. A few seconds after that, he turned toward Heero, Han Ying, and Hong Yu.
He raised his thumb to the three and said with a big grin, "Fantastic!"
It was what Heero, Hong Yu, and Han Ying got from the spicy food lover and a famous food blogger, Yun Qiu Fan.
Afterward, he began packing the cameras and went out of the noodles shop in haste. Leaving Heero, Hong Yu, Han Ying, Mu Xue, and Mu Xue's friend in a daze.
