During their escape from the nine-eyed magic spiders, Drakken relied heavily on his [Absolute Directional Sense] to locate what he believed to be a safe route. Unbeknownst to him, the director of the education division was also heading in that direction.Drakken assumed that with repeated adjustments, his [Absolute Directional Sense] could pinpoint the optimal path by averaging out the readings. However, in reality, the correction rate of [Absolute Directional Sense] was a mere 5%, meaning each adjustment only accounted for an 18-degree deviation in direction. Despite multiple corrections, the margin of error remained substantial, leading Drakken and his companions astray from the true path to safety.Unaware of these limitations, Drakken placed his trust in the direction chosen after encountering a martial artist, convinced it was the correct choice.Meanwhile, the director of the education division eventually stumbled upon the lair of the nine-eyed magic spiders after considerable t
The individual turned out to be the director of the education division, who had been scouring the vicinity. Sensing human presence, he hurried to the scene.Upon arrival, he witnessed the white cat seated beside a deceased martial artist, the body showing signs of brutal mauling discernible even from a distance with the director's keen eyesight.Engrossed in examining the watch given to it by the martial artist, the white cat remained oblivious to the director's approach, its back turned. Misinterpreting the situation, the director erupted in fury, accusing the cat of cannibalism and launching a ferocious attack."I'm not..." the white cat attempted to protest, but it was too late to evade the director's furious assault.Caught off guard by the potent suction force embedded within the attack, the cat was struck before it could dodge, though its demonic resilience prevented fatal injury. Recoiling from the blow, it crashed to the ground, bloodied and wounded."I had a pact with him! I
The fourth day of the combat examination arrived."Wow! A white spirit fruit!" Drakken exclaimed as he held up the fruit emitting a delightful aroma, his expression brimming with joy.The white spirit fruit surpassed the blood-red rice in grade, offering benefits such as clarity of mind and enhanced vision. Its consumption posed no restrictions, making it highly advantageous for martial arts cultivation.Moreover, it bolstered vitality and, to some extent, purified the body and bones. Despite the martial apprentices' frailty, any spiritual medicine or fruit they consumed held significant effects.Based on Drakken's perception, this was akin to engaging in online games such as Blue Moon. Whenever one's level significantly lagged behind the global leaderboard, they obtained a certain amount of experience after battling monsters... Although it wasn't a particularly high-grade spirit fruit, the white spirit fruit possessed mild attributes that included heart-clearing, enhanced vision, an
Drakken wasn't naive. In reality, York wasn't privy to the situation, so Drakken refrained from divulging the details.At the time, Drakken hadn't been coerced out by the tree demon but rather by his own accord. The tree demon was genuinely taken aback.In truth, Drakken hadn't intended to emerge, but the problem arose when the tree demon inadvertently stepped on him!The treemen traversed over Drakken's body with their robust roots. Through the air vent in his head, Drakken observed a sizable cluster of treemen retreating.His school instructors had imparted knowledge that tree demons typically possessed gentle dispositions. Furthermore, tree demons dwelling in groups likely did so out of necessity, as they couldn't survive alone.Hence, Drakken took action. The tree monster was too hefty and lumbered too sluggishly. Sensing something amiss with its feet, it brushed against Drakken's body and remained rooted.Drakken lashed out because he couldn't endure being trampled upon indefinit
“Drakken, you’re almost done, right? Let’s take advantage of the fact that these tree demons haven’t woken up yet and quickly run,” York said in a low voice.As the class president, York had always been a good student.In terms of theoretical knowledge, York was not much worse than Drakken.If Drakken could think of the important points, York would have thought of them as well.Naturally, he understood that under typical circumstances, this type of symbiotic tree demon wouldn't proactively assail the neighboring creatures. However, even with this knowledge, York's apprehension remained unabated."Depart?" Drakken stated solemnly. "We have important matters to attend to now!""What's so significant?" York queried, taken aback."Obviously, we're playing house!" Drakken exclaimed.York was left speechless."Drakken, I still believe…" York couldn’t help but ask as he watched Drakken climb a tree to pick a white spirit fruit and a scarlet heart pepper.The scarlet heart pepper was a type o
York couldn't resist inquiring from Drakken, whilst observing him climb a tree to harvest a white spirit fruit and a scarlet heart pepper, “Drakken, I remain of the opinion...the scarlet heart pepper, being a type of chili, was deemed as possessing spiritual properties."Its main function, as its name suggested, was to make people angry. To be more specific, the special spiciness could affect the heart and speed up blood circulation. In other words, it could slightly increase the speed of martial arts cultivation.York was left speechless.After some thought, York also climbed the tree with Drakken to pick spiritual fruits. The two of them ate a lot of scarlet heart peppers. The spiciness in their mouths made their cheeks slightly red, and the blood in their bodies flowed faster and faster.They stood in the middle of the tree demons and began to slowly practice the various basic martial arts taught by the school.During this process, the spirit fruits they had eaten earlier were bein
Sizzle!York was at a loss for words.York felt numb as he sniffed the faint and strange fish fragrance that had a slightly fishy smell.He thought, “Did Drakken specially learn how to cook with his Diamond Dust Palm?”“Little cat, do you want to eat grilled fish?” Drakken picked up the fish with a smile and waved it at the black cat.Gulp!The black cat on the tree swallowed its saliva. The strange yet familiar fragrance was constantly stirring the black cat’s mind. Its eyes revealed a little desire, but also a little hesitation.“Meow, meow, meow! Come on, let me touch you. I’ll treat you to fish!”Drakken said with a smile. He looked like a bad uncle who tricked a little girl into seeing a goldfish.Of course, it was impossible for Drakken to be a bad uncle. After all, he was younger and more handsome.The black cat was hesitant. Even York could see how conflicted the cat was.That dawdling look was even more adorable.Then, perhaps it was because it was really hungry, or because
“Enough, Drakken. That’s enough. We won’t be able to finish eating it if there’s more.”York took off his dirty coat and put away the twenty-odd fish that Drakken had caught.These fish were not big, and each of them was only two fingers wide. However, twenty of those fish were still a lot.Although the two of them had advanced to level seven Martial Apprentice, the breakthrough of the apprentice stage was not a qualitative change. People who practiced martial arts had a lot of appetites, but there was still a limit.These many fishes were enough.“All right.” Drakken stopped catching fish.He thought, “Why didn’t I trigger any achievement when fishing with bare hands?”Drakken stood up, held little Uriel in his arms, and headed back to the place where the tree demons were stationed.“Drakken, are you going to keep this cat?” York could not help but ask.“Of course!” Drakken rubbed little Uriel’s head and answered, “Uriel is so cute. Why can’t I raise her?”“Uriel?”“Yes, that’s its n
