2023-09-21 23:24:09Chapter #7: Nature Pays Its Respect
Three years had passed since Tian Fan had been living in the Red Forest. Currently, he resided in the deepest region of the forest, known for being inhabited by mid and high-level martial realm beasts. The central area of the Red Forest was dominated by earth-level and earth king-level beasts.
Living in the forest had heightened Tian Fan's sensory perception and instincts. He had killed dozens of low and mid-level martial realm beasts, gaining various benefits from their carcasses.
Tian Fan obtained body parts such as gallbladders, claws, bones, and hearts from these beasts, which he dried and turned into powders for medicinal use. The elemental cores of the beasts, comprised of various elements, were stored for refining pills.
Their meat provided Tian Fan with sustenance, as it was rich in qi and nutrients, making it ideal for cultivators.
Tian Fan also improved his medical skills during this time. He practiced herbal medicine, acupuncture, and even surgical techniques. Surprisingly, he found that the meridians of animals and humans were fundamentally similar, differing only in their positions.
Currently, Tian Fan was in the mid-level martial realm, but his bones had already reached the gold level. He didn't rush to advance his cultivation realm further. Tian Fan intended for his cultivation to progress naturally, aligned with the foundation of his body. Balanced cultivation offered significant advantages in terms of strength release.
Tian Fan could still hold his own against higher-level beasts due to his balanced approach. He trained his physical body diligently with weights adjusted to his level, consuming both beast meat and medicinal herbs to elevate his bones to the gold level.
In terms of alchemy, Tian Fan had limited knowledge and could only create basic pills. However, these pills, the product of his own experimentation, maintained their healing properties, albeit at varying levels of effectiveness.
Tian Fan's approach to medicine differed from the norm. He dried medicinal plants using his own qi, preserving their potency. Only after this process did he shape them into pills. He gained the confidence to create more pills after repeated comparisons and experiments.
Living in the forest for three years provided Tian Fan with a wealth of experiences that he wouldn't have acquired in a conventional life.
Although the Red Forest followed the law of the jungle, Tian Fan adhered to his own principles.
He didn't provoke or attack beasts unprovoked. However, if attacked first, he didn't hesitate to engage in a life-and-death battle.
Over time, the forest's inhabitants indirectly accepted his presence. While martial realm beasts lacked high intelligence, they possessed strong instincts.
Tian Fan's frequent battles and assistance to injured beasts in the forest had established his reputation. Even though the beasts lacked high intelligence, they remembered his acts of kindness.
The wounded beasts he helped would sometimes visit his cave to leave freshly hunted prey as a form of gratitude.
As a result, Tian Fan wasn't surprised when he occasionally found fresh animal carcasses outside his cave after waking up from meditation.
While Tian Fan was conducting physical training in his cave, he sensed a gathering of beasts not far from the cave's entrance.
Their auras indicated that they were martial realm beasts, but Tian Fan's instincts detected no hostile intent.
"What do they want?" Tian Fan wondered.
He focused his killing intent on the beasts, but they remained still, showing no signs of aggression.
Curiosity piqued, Tian Fan emerged from his cave. There were twelve silver wolves standing about twenty meters from the cave's entrance.
Tian Fan recognized this pack of silver wolves; they controlled the southern territory near his dwelling. Some time ago, Tian Fan had saved a young injured silver wolf from another beast's attack.
Tian Fan simply stood there, observing the pack. He didn't know how to communicate with them.
Soon, two martial realm silver wolves cautiously approached Tian Fan, but they showed no intent to attack. Tian Fan felt slightly uneasy as he wasn't confident in facing two martial realm beasts simultaneously.
However, the wolves didn't display any aggression, and their martial realm auras remained concealed. Tian Fan decided to observe further.
The two wolves nodded their heads, and Tian Fan returned the gesture. One of them slowly approached Tian Fan and then lay down about a meter in front of him.
The pack's leader, who was behind the two wolves, followed suit, lying down as well. The other ten wolves did the same.
Tian Fan understood that they were requesting his assistance.
He carefully approached the injured wolf and examined its hind leg, discovering a wound from a venomous fire cobra's bite.
"It's a bite from a fire cobra," Tian Fan muttered.
Using his acupuncture needles, Tian Fan applied several needles around the wound, and then he drew his sword.
Before proceeding, Tian Fan glanced at the wolf, saying, "You may not understand what I'm saying, but at least I'm telling you that I'm going to cut your wound with this sword."
"Hopefully, the beast understands," Tian Fan thought.
The wolf nodded. Tian Fan proceeded to make an incision on the wound. Initially, black blood flowed out, but after a while, it turned red. Tian Fan quickly applied medicinal herbs to stop the bleeding and let the wound heal.
He also removed the acupuncture needles, which had served to numb the area.
Tian Fan took out three pills from his storage pouch and placed them on a leaf.
"Eat these," Tian Fan said.
The wolf saw the three pill-sized objects and consumed them without hesitation. Soon, its aura, which had been martial realm-level, changed. Initially red, it slowly merged with the silver aura, ultimately settling down and stabilizing.
The pills Tian Fan had given were dantian-cleansing pills that he had created. Their purpose was to cleanse the dantian.
Besides poisoning their victims, fire cobras, like the fire elementals, released qi that disrupted their victims' dantian flow, leading to a decrease in cultivation level or even the destruction of the dantian.
The wolf stood up abruptly and distanced itself from Tian Fan and the rest of the pack. Suddenly, its martial realm aura flared, and it let out a long howl. A silver bolt of lightning struck the silver wolf.
Tian Fan and the other wolves were sent flying backward from the shockwave as the wolf's aura transformed.
"Earth-level!"

Training the Tiger Hunter Sword TechniqueTonight, Tian Fan spent his time training physically, channeling his frustration into rigorous practice.Tian Fan recalled the words of his teacher, Guan Wei: "Why are humans more dangerous than beasts?"Because humans possess inherent qualities of jealousy, malice, and envy, constantly competing and undermining each other.Other inherent traits include arrogance, lack of compassion, and a absence of mercy and empathy. They will attack anyone, relying on their ferocity and strength, sharp claws, and fangs. Their character is one of cruelty, devoid of justice.The strong rule, and the weak perish. There is no measure of right and wrong, only a display of power. This is what we know as the law of the jungle.The strong survive, and the weak are humiliated. The brave oppress the cowardly. The strong devour the weak."Because of this, his teacher advised Tian Fan to choose his companions wisely, evaluate people carefully, and never be

He added, “Maybe with this, we really have a shot at making it to the final round,” he said seriously.Cao Pi, Sima Yi, and Su Zhi turned to Cao Ren, the expressions in their eyes questioning the statement made by the third prince of the Huo Kingdom.Seeing their looks, Cao Ren quickly spoke again in disbelief. “Haven’t you all thought that far ahead?”“I did think the same,” Cao Pi replied seriously, “I just didn’t dare say it aloud like you did.

Tian Fan merely gave a faint smile, paying no mind to the tension.Seeing Tian Fan’s expression, Cao Pi spoke up. “Judging by the look on your face, I’d say you’re planning something based on what you just did,” he said seriously.Tian Fan turned to Cao Pi and gave a small smile without saying anything. After a moment, he spoke, directing his words to everyone in his group. “Let’s talk about this later. What matters now is what we’ve planned beforehand,” he said calmly.Soon after, the formation master control

I gave them the freedom to choose, and this was the result of their own agreement," Liu Bei replied casually.Dong Zhuo was about to interrupt, but Liu Bei spoke again first. "I believe neither of the two princes is ambitious. They are able to look ahead, act wisely, and most importantly, they have a clear vision and mission.""Just like a king, whose main principle should be wisdom, embracing others and listening to advice, opinions, and suggestions these traits will surely earn them greater respect in the future," he explained, causing some in the room to clearly dislike his words.Only a few responded positively to Liu Bei’s statement, including His Majesty the King and the

Afterwards, each member of the group was allowed to choose a weapon to use, all of which were second grade weapons.The group leader was given three storage rings, each designated for different items: spirit plants, beast body parts, and metal ores. These items were kept separate to maintain their effectiveness and prevent possible damage if stored together.Once the inspection session was complete, the groups were directed to the teleportation diagram, where they would be randomly scattered across the Red Forest region."Choose the weapon you are most comfortable with.

Upon arriving, they assembled and waited in an area specifically designated for their academy.While waiting, Liu Bei observed his students, his gaze focusing on Tian Fan's group, where something seemed different about the members. It was clear from the faces of Cao Pi and Sima Yi that they bore some bruises and had several injuries covered by bandages. Seeing this, he realized that the issue lay with the group leader, and it was most likely resolved in an unconventional way."It seems Fan'er has shown his true self to them, not bad," he thought to himself.Meanwhile, Cao Pi, Cao Ren, and Sima Yi looked awkward after the incident from the previous day.

His teammates were none other than Prince Cao Pi, Prince Cao Ren, Su Zhi, and a student named Sima Yi.The two Caos clearly ranked first and second in the martial division, and Su Zhi, who ranked second in the spell and formation division, clearly indicated that Sima Yi must be the top ranked student in that division.The atmosphere in their group was cold as they gathered for a briefing after the group announcement."Brother Fan, I'm glad we’re in the same group again. With this, I have no worries during the first round," said Su Zhi, breaking the heavy silence."Yes, with this arrangement, I also understand why the academy gathered all the best in one group," Cao Ren chimed in.Cao Pi and Sima Yi, however, remained silent and indifferent, clearly showing their discomfort.Seeing the situation, Tian

Meanwhile, the tip of Cao Pi’s sword was aimed at Tian Fan’s abdomen, even though Cao Pi was half kneeling with one of Tian Fan’s legs pressing down on him.“This match is over, and the result is a draw!” declared Bu Chan quickly, yet with firm authority.Bu Chan’s words were followed by slow movements from the three fighters, each of them gradually withdrawing their attacks and stepping back cautiously.xxxxxxxxThe next morning..Tian Fan returned to his division with a cheerful face.

The distance between them was close, clearly in anticipation of a swift attack from the masked young man."So this is why Fan’er kept his distance and didn't move at first. Interesting!" he murmured softly.The three of them moved slowly, their feet sliding across the ground to shorten the distance. The position of their drawn swords reminded them all to stay alert.Liu Bei and Lu Tang, watching everything unfold, smiled slightly. They were quite pleased with what they saw. "In battle, calmness and vigilance are the main factors. Not rushing to act, even after reading the opponent's movements, is the right decision," Liu Bei continued. "Now it’s just a matter of who seizes the momentum and who exposes a gap," he added."It seemed the two princes had returned to their original stances." Said Lu Tang, which Liu Bei
