Chapter 98 The Ordinary Youth Earned the Respect

The Dragon’s Aura emerged again.

Moreover, this time, compared with the previous two times, the claw pattern felt more real, and the Dragon’s Aura became denser.

Apparently, during such a crucial battle, Ding Hao was rapidly enhancing his comprehend of the swordsmanship.

“Boohoo...” The beast in the middle felt a tremendous crisis.

It stood up with its claws in the air. It thumped on its chest and released dense slate gray Demon Aura from his claws. Then, it batted hard in the air.

At the next moment, finally, the claws met with the rusted sword.

“Whoosh!”

As expected, a crackle was heard. The beast’s sharp claws were cut off by the rusted sword.

Immediately, Ding Hao released his ice and snow Qi. Then, overwhelming Icing Qi surged toward the injured and feeble beast, which did not have the time to howl. From head to toe, its entire body was covered in frozen frost.

Swoosh!

Sword Qi was heard and Ding Hao landed on the ground. He held his cold sword horizontally and brandished it swiftly. Then, the trapped beast that was trying to break free was intersected in the waist.

At that time, other nominal disciples had finally arrived at the battlefield.

In a split second, Ding Hao noticed the beasts’ arrival and then killed three of them. Though short, it was still a heart-stopping situation. If any other man was present, he would be already been swallowed by the Ominous Beast.

“Senior Brother Ding, are you alright?” Wang Xiaoqi and Zhang Fan asked with concern.

Ding Hao shook his head, smiling. “I’m OK, don’t worry about me.”

“Boohoo...” The two tangled Ominous Beasts howled in pain.

The two animals were badly hurt. One beast’s arms were ripped off completely, and the broken bone could be seen. The other one was covered in injuries. Its stomach was cut open by sharp gravels. Every time it tried to stand up, it would flop down again.

“Those two are yours.”

Ding Hao pointed to the rest two Ominous Beasts and told other disciples.

They went out to practice their skills. Since the two injured beasts could not pose a threat anymore, Ding Hao left them to his peers to practice. Now, Ding Hao had gotten ride of the big trouble for them, it was time for them to experience the cruel killing.

Other disciples all rushed forward, trying to besiege the two beasts together.

Ding Hao slightly heaved a sigh, and the flashback of the previous fight came back to him.

To be honest, even he was surprised by his performance. From the very beginning to the end, he was perfect. He had the entire battle under control as if he had hunted a million times before.

He was just an ordinary guy who space-traveled here from earth. Even if he was gifted, how could he perform so well during his first fight?

Why was he so good?

“This is how the ‘Saintly Being of Saber and Sword’ works. Anyone with this kind of body is born a genius fighter!” Sword Master’s voice rang in his head.

“Damn you, steal my spotlight again.” Saber Master snapped. “Little Chap Ding, get used to it. Saintly Being of Saber and Sword is not such a simple constitution. You’ll find out more about it in the future.”

Ding Hao nodded in his heart. He felt tremendous satisfaction from their flattery, and become very confident.

Then, he heard beasts’ howlings when they were about to die. He turned his head around, only to see the two crippled Ominous Beasts. They had been torn into pieces by other disciples and foul blood scattered everywhere.

The disciples reacted differently.

Some of them yellowed excitedly, and other pale-faced ones almost spat out their bile since it was the first they had witnessed such a violent scene.

“Senior Brother Ding, we’re sorry. We’re really...” The two guarding disciples hurried to Ding Hao to express their gratitude and apologized to him. They slept during their watch and almost get everyone into trouble. Moreover, when Ding Hao fought the beasts for them, they actually ran away. How embarrassing was that!

“Don’t be. It’s just a normal reaction. No one’s going to blame you. And, you chose to get on the battlefield with other brothers, didn’t you?” Ding Hao patted their shoulders, and then he said smilingly, “There are various kinds of courage, and your final choice show your courage.”

The two almost burst into grateful tears.

They were originally expecting harsh criticism from their leader Ding Hao. It was, after all, their fault that the entire team almost got doomed. However, instead, they received heart-warming comfort and encouragement.

“We promise, there won’t be the next time.” The two put two fingers upward and swore.

The disciples who originally hold grudge against them started to forgive them. Indeed, no matter how strong one was, if he woke up from his sleep and saw a terrifying Ominous Beast in front of him, he would definitely run away at that moment.

“Well, we’ve got some great rewards. Five Foxy Wolf Beasts. Every part of them is precious.” Hunter youth Zhang Fan recognized the five beasts.

The five Ominous Beasts were called Foxy Wolf Beasts. They were a hybrid of ferocious fox and wolf. Their bloodline was not pure, leading to their limited demonic power. They were in large quantities and were slightly stronger than normal wild beasts. Moreover, they usually hunt in groups. Judging from their sizes, they were not fully grown yet.

Usually, a beast’s level could be distinguished by its Demon Aura.

The pack of Foxy Wolf Beast was covered in slate gray Demon Aura, which indicated that they were the lowest Ominous Beast, equivalent to a human in the Martial Disciple Realm. If their aura were charcoal, they would be the demonic beast, equivalent to a disciple in the Martial Soldier Realm.

If they had run into a demonic beast pack, they would not make it out alive.

“Haha, the beasts’ flesh and blood contain numerous blood energy. Fighters could consume a lot of energy from them for the Body Tempering. The fur could be used to make armors. Their teeth and bones are important for some weapons or inscription formations. For example, the things on the headless beast can be sold at a price of 2,000 taels of gold.”

Under the shocking gazes of everyone, Zhang Fan took out a machete and skillfully dissected the headless Foxy Wolf Beast’s body. He peeled off its fur and separated its flesh from its bones.

The machete was like a chilling light being held by the hunter youth. Its beauty was indescribable in the other disciple’s eyes.

By the time, the youths had all adopted a whole new attitude toward the young hunter.

In the past, many of them showed respect to Zhang Fan only because he and Ding Hao was close, and Ding Hao would often stand up for him. However, after the battle, they realized that he had been the only person that really helped Ding Hao. His archery was simply superb and formidable.

To be frank, except for Ding Hao, the other 18 teenagers might surpass Ding Hao in Qi cultivation. However, when at a distance, they could not ward off a single blow from Zhang Fan because of his formidable archery.

Zhang Fan had earned others’ respect for his unique skill.
