After Fu and Ye Feng entered the Dragon Forest, Fu summoned his saint weapon all of a sudden and looked at Ye Feng with a proud smirk on his face. . Ye Feng's eyes widened for a second when he saw Fu's saint weapon, then he smirked too.
Fu's saint weapon was a huge black war axe; it was as tall as him, and the axe blade was incredibly huge.
Ye Feng said with a smile on his face, "Look at that you breakthrough into the saint master realm." Fu smirked and said, "Of course, next time we fight, prepare to lose. I am not going to be beaten by you again." Ye Feng chuckled and nodded. "Sure, but let us focus on collecting monster cores. For now, I really want to win the prize in this competition." Fu nodded with a smile and said, "Fine by me, I really don't care about the prize, but I want to rob Zhang Wei and his brother again. Imagine how many pills they have." Ye Feng burst out laughing at what Fu just said, and Fu started laughing like a maniac when he heard Ye Feng's laughter.
.
Ye Feng shook his head after calming down and said to Fu, "Whatever, let's go and start hunting for monster cores for now." Fu smiled at Ye Feng and followed him.
Ye Feng took out the map of the forest from his space belt and started walking deeper in the forest to hunt rank two monster cores.
_______
Fu and Ye Feng kept walking deeper in the forest when all of a sudden a crimson-furred fox lunged at Ye Feng out of nowhere. Ye Feng's eyes widened in shock. He summoned the blood dragon fang quickly and blocked a claw strike from the crimson-furred fox, "CLANK.".
Fu quickly charged with his saint weapon when he saw Ye Feng block the monster beast attack without problem, and he was amazed at that because Ye Feng's physical body wasn't this tough when they fought against each other last time and thought, "His body may be as tough as mine.".
Fu then rushed at the crimson-furred fox and swung his axe at it, "SQUASH." The crimson-furred fox was sliced in half. Fu chuckled at Ye Feng and said, "You owe a favour, brother Feng." Ye Feng chuckled too. He then dug out the monster core from the crimson-furred fox corpse.
Fu then looked at the crimson-furred fox corpse and asked Ye Feng, "What kind of monster beast is this one?" Ye Feng looked at him while holding a rank two monster core in his hand and said, "The monster beast is called Crimson Eyed Fox, but this monster beast wasn't mature enough to use its innate ability to its advantage in a fight, which is why you easily killed it. If it was rank four, Crimson-Eyed Fox, both me and you would have died easily".
Fu was surprised and asked, "How come?" Ye Feng sighed and started explaining, "First of all, our cultivation is too low to go head-to-head against rank four monster beasts; our saint weapons will not even scratch their bodies. The second reason is the Crimson Eyed Fox's innate ability is heightened senses; its senses are so high that it can predict the attack trajectory along with its incredible reflexes and agility, making it hard to land a solid attack on it".
Fu widened his eyes in amazement and said, "You really know a lot about monster beasts." Ye Feng chuckled, "I read a lot in the library. You should visit the library and start reading." Fu rubbed the back of his head in embracement.
Ye Feng started looking at the corpse again and started thinking if he could use this corpse for his benefit. All monster-beast corpses are very valuable; some monster-beast corpses are considered valuable treasures.
Ye Feng smirked when he came up with a great idea. Fu noticed Ye Feng smirking and asked, "Brother Feng, why are you smirking?" Ye Feng looked at him while smirking and said, "I got an idea of how we can lure the monster beasts who are nearby." Fu's eyes widened, and he smirked too. "Tell me how we can do it." Ye Feng continued smirking and said, "Simple, all we need to do is grill the Crimson Eyes Fox and eat it. The aroma from grilling the meat will attract the monster beasts nearby to our location, and we just need to take them out." Ye Feng gave a bloodthirsty smirk.
Fu laughed maniacally, "HAHAHAHAHA, this is going to be fun, my brother; let's grill this little fox." Ye Feng nodded and started collecting some tree branches from the nearby trees, then they started making fire in order to grill the Crimson-Eyed Fox.
______
After grilling the Crimson-Eyed Fox, the aroma of the fox meat started spreading to nearby areas. Many monster beasts who smelled the aroma started running towards Fu and Ye Feng.
Ye Feng and Fu were enjoying the grilled meat of the monster beast they just cooked, but all of a sudden they felt the ground vibrate. Ye Feng smiled and turned his head after summoning the Blood Dragon Fang. He said to Fu, "The monster beasts are coming. Get ready, Fu." Fu stood up and summoned his saint weapon while laughing manically, "HAHAHAHAHA, this is going to be fun.".
A horde of many rank-two monster beasts rushed towards Ye Feng and Fu. Both gave a bloodthirsty grin at the monster beasts who were charging towards them. Ye Feng used the Free Step martial skill from the Free Heart Sword Art and charged at the monster beasts. "SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH," Fu was surprised at the speed that Ye Feng demonstrating and smiled "he is getting stronger and stronger I need to catch up to him". Fu charged at the monster beast horde too with his saint weapon.
Both Fu and Ye Feng started cutting the monster beasts like they were devils reincarnate. In human skin, "SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH," Ye Feng kept dances around the monster beast's horde using the Free Step martial skill, "SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH," and when he is close enough to the monster beasts, he uses the Free Beheading Sword martial skill and beheads the monster beasts. "SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH" When Ye Feng uses the Free Beheading Sword martial skill his Blood Dragon Fang, shines a blood crimson colour.
Fu was like a war god; with every swing of his saint weapon, he chopped the monster beast in half. He kept swinging his saint weapon like a madman. "SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH." Both Ye Feng and Fu were covered with the blood of the saint beasts, and they kept smirking as they continued their massacre.
_____
Three academy staff rushed through the forest when they noticed the monster beast horde. When they arrived and saw Fu and Ye Feng massacring the monster beasts, they were stupefied.
The female academy staff took a deep breath and asked, "Am I seeing things? Those kids..." She had an ordinary face, brown hair tied in a ponytail, plump, round breasts, and a curvy, feminine body.
The muscular male of the group shocked his head. "No, Aya, what you are seeing is what we are all seeing, those kids....."
The last member chuckled and said, "are like demons in human form, isn't Jun?" The muscular man nodded and chuckled. "It seems they have things under control. Let's go."
The other two then departed, and Aya then said to Jun, "Jun, I think we better report this to the headmaster." The other guy nodded. He is a slim, middle-aged man. "Aya is right, Jun." Jun nodded and looked at Aya. "You are right. Aya, go and report what you saw to the headmaster, and me and Jeng will continue our petrol catch up with us after you report to the headmaster." Aya nodded and left.

After Fu and Ye Feng massacred the monster beasts, they stood surrounded by many monster beast corpses. Both of them were covered in monster beasts blood; they looked like they bathed using blood instead of water. Ye Feng then said to Fu, "Let's collect the monster cores from these corpses." Fu nodded to Ye Feng with a smile, and both of them started collecting the monster cores from the monster beast corpses.
After collecting the monster cores and storing them in a space belt, Fu asked Ye Feng, "So what now?" Ye Feng smiled and said, "We go and find a safe place to rest for now. Let's grab one or two of these corpses to repeat the same strategy again tomorrow." Fu nodded and stored two monster beast corpses into his space belt.
______
Three days had passed. In those three days, Fu and Ye Feng repeated the strategy they used to attract the monster beasts. They battle against monster beast hordes twice a day and collect a lot of monster cores. Both Ye Feng and Fu were enjoying their time slaughtering the monster beast hordes.
Currently, both Fu and Ye Feng were venturing deeper into the forest when, all of a sudden, they heard a scream of pain from a female: "AAAAAAHHHHHHH." Both Ye Feng and Fu rushed towards where the scream was coming from.
When they arrived at where the scream was coming from, they saw twenty yellow-furred monkeys attacking a female student. Ye Feng recognised the female student right away. She was the same student who helped him in the library when he was searching for a suitable saint weapon condensing method a few weeks ago. Ye Feng turned to Fu and said, "Fu, we need to help her." Fu nodded seriously, and they both summoned their saint weapons, then they charged at the yellow-furred monkeys.
Fu started swinging his axe and chopping the monkeys in half. "SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH," and Ye Feng used the free step to dance around the monkeys while he used the beheading free sword martial skill to behead the monkeys. "SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH".
Rou was stunned at what she was seeing. She was admiring the strength of Fu and Ye Feng. Also, she was shocked at how fast they were massacring the monkeys. Rou gulped at what she was seeing and looked at the two; she was about to thank them, but Ye Feng opened his mouth and said, "Are you alright, Miss Rou?" Rou looked carefully at Ye Feng, and when she recognised him, her eyes widened in surprise. "You are the guy I helped in the library a few weeks ago." Ye Feng smiled and nodded.
Rou took a deep breath. She was very astonished at Ye Feng and Fu's strength; she couldn't believe that Ye Feng was this talented in cultivation. When she met him; his cultivation was a mere peak saint force realm. Ye Feng then asked her, "Are you injured?" Rou nodded and said, "Yes, I think I will use the flare formation that the instructor gave us." Ye Feng nodded to her, but Fu asked, "What happened to your team? Did you venture into the forest all by yourself?"
Rou shocked her head. "No, we were attacked by those monster beasts; there were too many of them. We didn't have a choice but to split up in order to have a chance to survive. When we split up, the monkeys too split up. No matter how hard I fought, in the end I got exhausted and got injured in my shoulders. I was lucky that you two rescued me. Thank you." Rou gave a charming smile to both Fu and Ye Feng, who blushed at her beautiful smile.
Rou struggled to move her two arms, and she blushed. She turned her head towards Ye Feng and asked, with a heavy blush on her face, "Can you get the flare formation and activate it for me? I can't move my arms." Ye Feng blushed. He looked at Fu, who was blushing too. Rou looked at Ye Feng pleadingly. Ye Feng sighed and bent down to remove her space belt from her slender waist.
When Ye Feng touched her waist with his palm, Rou trembled, and Ye Feng felt he was losing himself when he looked into her eyes. Fu smirked when he saw Ye Feng's reaction. He faked a cough, which brought both Rou and Ye Feng to their senses. Both of them blushed. Quickly, Ye Feng removed the space belt from around her waist, took the flare formation, and activated the formation. Bright blue flare shot towards the sky.
After a few minutes, two academy staff arrived, and a beautiful woman who looked like she was in her mid-twenties arrived. She had pink short hair, a curvy feminine body, and a very cute face. Next to her was a short, green-haired man with a cold expression and a lean, muscular body. The cute woman said, "So you kids used the flare formation; let's get going." She gave them a charming smile. Rou then said, "Excuse me, teacher, I would like to forfeit my fellow students saved my life; I don't think they want to forfeit.
The cute woman looked at Ye Feng and Fu for a second, then shrugged. She carried Rou, and the three of them left.
Fu looked at Ye Feng, and when he saw him looking in the direction where Rou and the other two instructors left, he smirked and said, "If you like her, you better make your move on her quickly." Ye Feng's eyes widened in shock while looking at Fu. Fu chuckled and said, "Do you think someone with her beauty won't have admirers or people chasing after her?" Ye Feng was quiet and turned around. He then said, "Let's dig out the monster cores from their corpses." Fu nodded, and they started digging out the monster cores from the corpses of the underground yellow-furred monkeys.
_____
After digging out the monster cores from the monster beasts corpses, they continued venturing deeper into the forest.
A day had passed since Fu and Ye Feng met Rou. In the past day, they attracted monster beast hordes twice, and they exterminated them easily.
They walked deeper in the forest, looking for monster beasts, but when they decided to take a break, They saw Ye Long and his friends lying and bleeding heavily.
Fu and Ye Feng rushed to them as quickly as possible. Ye Feng yelled, "First brother, what happened? Who did this to you?". Ye Long coughed out blood and said, "Zhang Bo team." Ye Feng, and Fu were enraged. Ye Feng then took his brother's space belt and activated Ye Long's flare formation. After a few moments, a burly, muscular man appeared. When he saw the state of Ye Long and his friends, he sighed, "You kids looked terrible. Hang on, I'll take you to the medical bay.".
He turned to Ye Feng and Fu. "You kids are staying, I guess?" Fu nodded, but Ye Feng didn't reply because, right now, he was enraged and wanted Zhang's brothers to suffer and beg him for mercy.
The muscular man shrugged; he carried all of Ye Long and his friends and rushed towards the forest exit.
Fu looked at Ye Feng and asked, "What's your plan now? Are you going to hunt the Zhang brothers?" Ye Feng looked at Fu in the eyes and nodded. "Of course I am. How dare they hurt my brother like that? If we were late, my brother would have died. Didn't you see how heavily my brother was bleeding?"
Fu smirked at what Ye Feng said and nodded. "Fine, I will help you. I never liked those two anyway. In return, I want all their pills. I will give you all my share of the monster cores in exchange." Ye Feng smirked, "Fine by me.".
