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
Drakken and the others were safe here.“Class president, go and pick some scarlet heart pepper and hemp branches. Oh, and some white spirit fruits too,” Drakken said.“What are you up to now?” York asked, slightly confused.“If we roast this fish, it’ll have a strong fishy smell. Shouldn’t we marinate it first?”York was speechless. “Okay then.”He felt that the martial arts examination was progressing in a weird direction.The sense of deja vu was getting stronger and stronger.York turned around to pick up the things Drakken had said.It should be mentioned that the spirit fruits borne by the tree demons were not biased, and they could grow whatever they wanted.Even the same tree demon could grow three or four different kinds of spiritual fruits.The substitutes for some seasonings could also be found on the tree demons. Drakken had already observed them.“Bang!”York was picking fruits when he was startled by a loud noise behind him. He turned around and was dumbfounded.“Drakken,
When Drakken came back half an hour later, he saw Uriel lying on the ground with a sorrowful look. He chuckled. “Didn’t I tell you that you’ll have diarrhea if you eat raw food? All right, it’s almost marinated to the point where the taste can be felt. Just wait a moment, we can start eating soon.”Uriel said weakly. “Meow! (I’m not eating anymore, I’m not eating anymore. It’s so spicy that I’m dying.)”Drakken smiled and ran to the stream to wash his hands. Then, he came back and grabbed a small fish from the hole in the tree stump. He put his hands together. A red light glowed on Drakken’s palms, and the temperature suddenly increased.The temperature of Diamond Dust Palm at the mastery level was extremely high. In theory, it was not something that a martial apprentice could control.If Drakken was already in the pulsing realm, Diamond Dust Palm could even burn with raging flames.However, it was not too bad now. With his palms together, it could be considered a double-frying pan
