Chapter 39: Plans

After eating breakfast, Jian Chen and Tie Ta both grabbed their respective weapons before continuing on with their journey. However, trailing behind them was the dainty Liang Xiaole, who was empty handed. She looked around herself carefully due to her own weapon being long gone after she had been separated from her group and chased through the forest.

Tie Ta lifted his battleaxe; his clothes were already swapped out. This time, he was wearing Blue Wolf leather along with some grassroot to hold it together. His academy uniform was long since torn apart from yesterday’s battle to the point where he couldn’t wear it anymore.

In the blink of an eye, another day came and went. By looking at the profits, they weren’t as good as the first day, but they weren’t bad either. In total, they had killed 70 magical beasts, making Liang Xiaole feel shocked.

On this second day, Liang Xiaole went through a major change. Ever since the spectacle with the Blue Wolves, her entire personality had transformed. At the very least, whenever she saw a magical beast, she wouldn’t scream in terror anymore. And whenever Tie Ta and Jian Chen would slaughter any enemy magical beast, she didn’t even flinch at the sight of the blood. She was slowly starting to adapt to her situation..

Not only that, but in the same day, she had unexpectedly learned much about the dangers of the forest and gained knowledge pertaining to them. Her capacity for learning was extremely high, and even Jian Chen couldn’t help but admire it. Of course, what was important was looking at her talent for cultivation, since in the Tian Yuan continent, one’s own strength was what dictated who they were over everything else.

Liang Xiaole was also extraordinarily smart. Although she wasn’t very strong, she definitely didn’t cause trouble for Tie Ta or Jian Chen, nor was she a burden like the two had previously thought she would be. She would stay behind the two, and whenever the two fought against a magical beast, she would stand far away so that she wouldn’t get caught up in it.

After that day, both Jian Chen or Tie Ta had a new levels of respect for Liang Xiaole, and no longer belittled her in their hearts.

Later that night, the three of them sat by the campfire to count the pile of monster cores.

“Dear seniors, have you two really not condensed your Saint Weapons and become Saints yet?” Liang Xiaole asked as she stared at them with her bright eyes. What a strange question. Her clothes were already filled with holes from the trees and thorns that stabbed and cut into her, and her pretty face resembled a kitty from the whisker like cuts. Since there were no water sources, she had to rely on drinking the blood of the magical beasts in order to stave off the thirst, and so there was no way she could wash off the filth on her face.

“If we were Saints, why would I be using this axe?” Tie Ta looked at his bundled up and heavily nicked battleaxe with no small amount of dissatisfaction.

After continued usage with Tie Ta’s strength, the giant battleaxe had finally worn out; the previously sharp edge was now becoming blunt after use. Even the previously sharp point on Jian Chen’s corroded iron rod had nearly become flat.

Liang Xiaole’s face was full of admiration as she stared at the two, “You two are really amazing; you’re not even at the Saint level yet and you can easily kill Class 1 Magical Beasts. In my opinion, once you reach the Saint level, you will be able to kill Class 2 Magical Beasts with ease.”

Jian Chen shook his head, “How would it be easy? These are magical beasts that were bred by the academy, so they have weak attack power. When we meet magical beasts with a stronger attack, then we will definitely have a harder time with it.”
