Chapter 958: Chapter 958: Convinced!

Bitao Mountain Range, deep inside the mountain belly, teemed with thousands of Spirit Beasts, many of which were over 500 years old—a considerable threat to any who dare to trespass.

But at the same time, the area was also home to many extremely rare forms of Spiritual Medicine, and it’s said that disciples from the Bitao Martial Academy once picked medium-grade Spiritual Medicine over 500 years old deep within the mountains.

Furthermore, due to the secluded environment and abundant Essence Energy, this deep mountain area has historically attracted many powerful individuals to reside and cultivate there.

Some unfortunate experts might have encountered problems during their cultivation and perished, leaving behind their Cultivation Resources as coveted treasures.

Medium-grade Spiritual Medicine over 500 years old, Spirit Beasts of the same age, and the legacy of powerful cultivators made these resources highly desirable to any Martial Artist.

Therefore, when Bitao Martial Academy disciples ventured into the mountains for their training, some teams, confident in their strength, would take the risk and delve into the depths in hopes of good fortune.

To enter these deep mountainous areas, the numerous and powerful Spirit Beasts proved the greatest obstacle.

Though some Spirit Beasts could be docile, most were volatile and ferocious, seeing human Martial Artists as a feast, ready to unleash a mad onslaught upon any intrusion into their territory.

Particularly, middle-grade Spirit Beasts, rare as they were, had an attack power far surpassing a Heaven Level Martial Artist. Thus, it was nearly impossible for a single Heaven Level Martial Artist to venture alone into the mountains and hunt one down.

Even within Bitao Martial Academy, the strongest Direct Disciples only reached the realm of Heaven Level Perfection.

Each time Bitao Martial Academy disciples embarked to the mountains, very few dared to go alone into its depths. Not even the proudest Core and Direct Disciples would do it without teaming up with other disciples, relying on the strength of a team to brave the risks of the deep mountain belly.

Since the founding of the Bitao Martial Academy, generation after generation of disciples ventured into the mountains. Only a few lucky teams ever managed to hunt middle-grade Spirit Beasts or harvest middle-grade Spiritual Medicine.

And for those less fortunate teams, sometimes disciples became prey to the very middle-grade Spirit Beasts they sought, leading to casualties.

Such incidents weren’t rare in the Martial Academy’s history of several thousand years.

Precisely because of the dangers, with life itself on the line, Bitao Martial Academy’s Core Disciples and Direct Disciples, who were usually haughty, chose to team up with other disciples for their mountain training missions.

Under normal circumstances, when disciples from Bitao Martial Academy went on their mountain excursions, the majority of teams wouldn’t venture into the deep mountains; only a few teams with overall strong capabilities would take the risk.

Before entering the Bitao Mountain Range, apart from Fang Bai, the other four members of his five-person team hadn’t considered venturing into the deep mountains. Therefore, when Fang Bai proposed hunting middle-grade Spirit Beasts and collecting medium-grade Spiritual Medicine there, the other four, including Huang Miao, were rather surprised.

Although after a moment’s hesitation they all agreed to follow Fang Bai into the mountain depths, Huang Miao couldn’t help but ask if Fang Bai was confident, since it was a matter of their lives, and caution was paramount.

Fang Bai laughed carefreely and mysteriously said, "I’ve previously learned a method by chance that can tame Spirit Beasts. Dealing with mere middle-grade Spirit Beasts is going to be too easy."

Upon his declaration, Huang Miao and the others stared at him with eyes wide open, clearly astonished.

Huang Miao said, "I’ve heard that in our True Martial Realm, there are Beast Tamers, skilled in the Beast Taming Technique, capable of domesticating some fierce Spirit Beasts into mounts for Martial Artists. Junior Brother Fang, do you truly know this skill?"

Fang Bai counter-asked, "Does Senior Sister Huang not trust me?"

With a smile, Huang Miao replied, "If it were someone else, I really wouldn’t. But with Junior Brother Fang, I do!"

Her phoenix eyes twinkled with an unusual light, her expression brimming with excitement as she spoke to Fang Bai, "Since Junior Brother Fang can tame Spirit Beasts, Senior Sister Huang has a somewhat presumptuous request. I wonder if Junior Brother Fang could agree to it..."

Fang Bai asked with a smile, "Senior Sister Huang isn’t thinking of having me tame a Spirit Beast for you to use as a mount, is she?"

Huang Miao giggled and replied, "Junior Brother Fang really understands me! So, what do you think, Junior Brother Fang, about your sister’s request..."

"Alright, I agree!"

After saying this, Fang Bai glanced again at Hou Ziping and Ms. Liu, adding, "I’m planning to tame five Spirit Beasts so each of us can have one as a mount. I just wonder what the expression on the faces of the disciples at the Bitao Martial Academy will be when we return riding five Spirit Beasts."

Liu Liehu, excited at the thought of returning to Bitao Martial Academy riding a Spirit Beast and being the center of everyone’s attention, rubbed his palms together and said eagerly, "Brother Fang, let’s move forward quickly, I simply can’t wait."

With Fang Bai’s assurance, Huang Miao and the others were no longer resistant to venturing deep into the mountain range, feeling a faint sense of expectation instead.

However, Fang Bai’s suggestion for them to discard the lower-ranked Spirit Beasts and lesser Spiritual Medicine they had previously hunted and gathered went unheeded, as they still carried them with them.

Seeing this, Fang Bai could only show a resigned wry smile and no longer tried to dissuade them.

They continued on their way, and during their journey, they encountered numerous Cultivation Teams. Upon seeing the Spirit Beasts and Spiritual Medicine that Huang Miao, Hou Ziping, and the others had obtained, they were greatly envious. After exchanging a few cordial words, they split up and went their separate ways, continuing their cultivational journey.

As they approached the depths of the mountainous area, they encountered far fewer Cultivation Teams, yet the overall strength was increasingly formidable, composed mainly of Core Disciples or Direct Disciples leading the teams.

"Isn’t that Senior Brother Tu Hu? His team has actually gotten into a conflict with the team led by Senior Brother Zhou!"

Upon arriving in front of a ravine several zhang wide, Huang Miao noticed two confrontational teams on the other side of the ravine not far away. She looked more closely and quickly recognized the identities of the two sides.

Fang Bai looked up towards the other side of the ravine and frowned, asking, "I have met Senior Brother Tu, but who is this Senior Brother Zhou?"

Huang Miao explained, "Senior Brother Zhou Tong from our Bitao Martial Academy is one of the top ten Core Disciples, currently ranked eighth on the Core Disciples’ battle strength list."

Seeing Huang Miao speak of this Zhou Tong with a face full of indignant dislike, Fang Bai couldn’t help saying, "Senior Sister Huang seems to have some aversion to that Senior Brother Zhou Tong!"

Huang Miao snorted, "More than aversion, if I get the chance, I’d dearly love to kill him myself! It’s just that I’m far from his equal in strength, so for now, I can only wish."

As she said this, she looked towards Tu Hu with some concern and murmured, "I wonder why Senior Brother Tu would get into a conflict with Senior Brother Zhou. Although Senior Brother Tu is strong, how could he be a match for Senior Brother Zhou? I’m afraid Senior Brother Tu is going to be at a disadvantage."

But Fang Bai disagreed, "Senior Sister Huang, you might be mistaken. Why do I think that Senior Brother Tu has a greater chance of winning?"
