Chapter 8
Is that Blastoise?
"roar--"
In the misty forest, a three-meter-long, striped tiger roared and leaped out from the nearby woods.
They blocked the path of Su Yuan and Xiao Xuan.
Without pausing for a moment, he pounced directly on Su Yuan.
The moment the striped tiger appeared, Su Yuan's gaze fell upon it, and then a series of information appeared before Su Yuan's eyes.
Black-eyed Tiger
Species: Tiger/Earth
Quality: Standard Eight Stars

Number of evolutions: 0

……
Crash!!
At the same time, without Su Yuan's command, Xiao Xuan launched an attack at the same moment the Black-Eyed Tiger charged out.
A jet of water, as thick as a bucket, shot rapidly toward the black-eyed tiger that was pouncing.
Xiao Xuan's timing was impeccable. Just as the water column struck the Black-Eyed Tiger, the tiger leaped into the air, finding itself with nowhere to gain leverage.
This left the Black-Eyed Tiger with no room to dodge, and the thick jet of water slammed heavily into its abdomen.
The water jet produced by Xiao Xuan's skill, which reached the seventh level of ordinary cultivation, was far more powerful than the water jet that shot out when the dam was opened to release floodwaters.
Under the powerful impact of the water jet, the Black-Eyed Tiger's massive body was sent flying backward, finally coming to a stop after crashing into a tree as thick as three people could hug.
It then crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Aww—"
Having taken Xiao Xuan's attack without any resistance, the Black-Eyed Tiger let out a painful roar.
Under the impact of the water column, the Black-Eyed Tiger suffered severe internal injuries, with its internal organs almost ruptured by the immense force.
His abdomen, directly impacted by the water jet, was already torn open and bleeding profusely.
Black-eyed Hu struggled to stand up, but found that he was seriously injured and could not get up no matter what.
Seeing that the Black-Eyed Tiger was still struggling, Xiao Xuan fired another water gun at it, killing it completely.
After Xiao Xuan dealt with the Black-Eyed Tiger, Su Yuan stepped forward, drew his dagger, and began dissecting the tiger's corpse.
"This black-eyed tiger doesn't have a crystal core, let's go."
After searching for a while without finding the Black-Eyed Tiger Crystal Core, Su Yuan washed his hands in a nearby puddle and called out to Xiao Xuan.
The man and the beast ignored the dead black-eyed tiger and continued on their way.
……
Two hours later.
boom! ! !
Somewhere in the Misty Forest, a heavy thud echoed, followed by a mournful wolf howl, and then silence returned.
"Little Xuan, here, take this Water Demon Wolf's crystal core. It'll help replenish what you've been expending lately!"
Inside the forest, Su Yuan retrieved a blue crystal core the size of a peanut from the water demon wolf that Xiao Xuan had just killed and tossed it to Xiao Xuan beside him.
Upon seeing the blue crystal core that Su Yuan tossed over, Xiao Xuan's eyes lit up with excitement.
Its millstone-sized body was surprisingly agile. With a burst of strength from its limbs, it leaped up, stretched out its head and opened its mouth to catch the water demon wolf's crystal core, swallowing it whole.
As the Water Demon Wolf's crystal core entered his stomach, a burst of rich water elemental energy erupted, quickly replenishing the energy Xiao Xuan had previously consumed.
Huff huff~
Feeling the comfort brought by the rapid recovery of energy within her body, Xiao Xuan took small steps to Su Yuan's side and affectionately nuzzled Su Yuan with her head to express her gratitude.
Su Yuan simply reached out and patted Xiao Xuan's head, but his gaze was fixed on the corpse of the Water Demon Wolf in front of him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"It's only been two and a half hours since I entered the Misty Forest."
"Including this ordinary fifth-tier water demon wolf, Xiao Xuan and I have encountered thirty-seven ferocious beasts."
"The further we go, the more frequently we encounter ferocious beasts. On average, we encounter one every five minutes. There are just too many ferocious beasts in this Misty Forest."
"That means Xiao Xuan has reached the ordinary seventh rank, and is also a Xuan Shui Turtle with an excellent quality of nine stars, so he is very powerful."
"If it were any other student who entered the Misty Forest Trial, they would probably have been eliminated long ago. Even for Li Ming, who fought against so many ferocious beasts one after another, it would definitely have been tough."
Recalling the ferocious beasts he had killed along the way, Su Yuan couldn't help but ponder, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed amiss.
After all, if everyone else had faced a battle of this intensity, apart from wealthy young men like Shi Qianying and Li Ming with powerful backgrounds, they would probably all have been eliminated by now.
The field training organized by Tianyang No.1 Middle School was to prepare all students to survive for three days on the outskirts of a misty forest.
It's only been three hours. If everyone else is eliminated, this field combat training will have no training effect on the students who have just become beast tamers.
"Perhaps it's just special treatment from the school. After all, I'm the student with the highest talent for beast taming at Tianyang No.1 High School."
"The school deliberately increased the frequency of ferocious beasts I encountered in the Misty Forest, probably to see just how strong Xiao Xuan and I really are!"
After pondering for a long time, Su Yuan suddenly thought of a possibility: the situation he was facing was different from that of the other students, and it was a special test arranged by the school.
Thinking about this, Su Yuan felt even more certain that his thinking was correct.
"In that case, I should perform even better and let the school administration know that the resources they invested in me haven't been wasted!"
Su Yuan muttered to himself, the doubt in his eyes gradually fading away, replaced by a powerful confidence.
He then looked at Xiao Xuan beside him, and sensing that Xiao Xuan's energy had almost recovered, he smiled and said:
"Xiao Xuan, let's continue after you've rested!"
"Huffing and puffing!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan nodded in response.
The man and the beast ventured deeper into the Misty Forest once more.
What Su Yuan didn't know was that he was indeed being targeted, but the person targeting him wasn't arranged by the school, but by Li Ming.
Thunderbolt Security Group is an enterprise under the Li Ming family.
At this very moment, on the canopy of a giant tree nearly a hundred meters tall, about a hundred meters away from Su Yuan.
An employee of Thunderbolt Security Group looked at the corpse of the Water Demon Wolf lying on the ground after Su Yuan and Xiao Xuan left, his lips twitched, and his eyes showed a look of shock.
"It took two and a half hours to take down thirty-seven ferocious beasts. Even Young Master Li would have to expend considerable effort to kill the Water Demon Wolf, which was of excellent quality and had reached the peak of the fifth rank of ordinary beasts."
"But Su Yuan's tamed beast still managed to kill the Water Demon Wolf in just two attacks."
"Su Yuan's beast-taming skills far exceed everyone's expectations!"
"His Blastoise is probably already at the level of a normal seventh rank."
"However, Su Yuan's Blastoise was only the size of a millstone, which does not match the enormous size of a normal seventh-tier Blastoise."
"Under normal circumstances, Blastoises of this size are generally only at the ordinary third or fourth tier."
"That's really weird, is Su Yuan's tamed beast really a Blastoise?"
This security personnel was the one responsible for Su Yuan's safety along the way.
After receiving the message from above that he should put some pressure on Su Yuan, he deliberately increased the frequency of Su Yuan's encounters with ferocious beasts.
After discovering that Su Yuan had effortlessly dealt with the ferocious beasts he encountered, he also began to gradually increase the strength of the beasts Su Yuan faced.
But to his surprise, Su Yuan remained remarkably relaxed until now.
Even the Water Demon Wolf, which had reached the peak of the ordinary fifth rank, still couldn't put any pressure on Su Yuan.
This level of strength has already exceeded his expectations.
