Phoenix Emperor
Chap 15's. Hunt I

Two days later.

The participants who wanted to take part in the spiritual animal hunting event gathered on the hill behind the city, in addition to the disciples from several sects, cultivators without sects also took part in the event.

Not only that, the younger generations of the noble clans also took part in the event, so the number of participants was far more compared to the previous cultivator tournament.

A short while later, the emperor and his entourage arrived at the place and instantly, everyone on the hill bowed to pay their respects to Zhao Yujin.

After that, a man wearing full armor stepped forward, then explained some of the things that the participants had to do in the spiritual animal hunting event.

The first is that they are required to collect as many soul crystals as possible, because the winner will be determined by the number and quality of soul crystals obtained.

Then the second, the participants are allowed to seize the soul crystals belonging to other participants, which means they must be ready to face a fight that can happen at any time.

Lastly, they were given a whole month to gather as many soul crystals as possible, after which they were required to immediately return to the imperial capital.

"If you understand, then the hunt will start right now!" the general said after explaining everything.

After which, the four Nirvana realm cultivators stepped forward, then the four cultivators activated a teleportation formation circle to send the participants into the wilderness.

In just a matter of seconds, the hundreds of cultivators who were following the spiritual beast hunting event instantly disappeared from sight, leaving only the emperor and his entourage.

***

The eastern part of the wilderness.

"Thank God, I think we will all be separated" said one of the Jade Lotus sect disciples after counting their numbers.

In the beginning, there were only three disciples who attended the event of the young cultivator tournament in the empire, but as the event changed, all the disciples were allowed to take part.

Even so, their numbers were still far inferior when compared to the other sects, as the Jade Lotus sect disciples who had come to the imperial capital numbered only seven people including Yin Feng.

"Alright, since we're all here, now that I want to present myself as the group leader, does anyone mind?" said Qian Zhou, the second elder's disciple.

They all agreed to make Qian Zhou the leader of the group, despite not liking his attitude, but they had no other choice, given his status as a second elder disciple.

"Feng Huang, what about you? Do you mind me being the leader of this group?"

"Whatever the chairman does not matter, because the most important thing is cooperation."

"Good! After all I am the strongest in this group" Qian Zhou said.

Although no one could read Yin Feng's cultivation level, Qian Zhou was very confident that Yin Feng's strength was still beneath him, after all he did not want to be ruled by other disciples.

"Then, let's start the hunt!"

After they started to step up, Qian Zhou then explained that their periority was a third level spiritual beast, whereas tier four and five had to be ignored.

However, Qian Zhou also said that if he would not fight against a third level spiritual beast, he would join the fight if the opponent was a second level spiritual beast and above.

The disciples certainly could not accept Qian Zhou's decision to flinch, but again they could not say and do anything other than obey Qian Zhou's wishes.

"Teacher and disciple are the same" Yin Feng said in his heart.

"Be careful!" yin Feng said as he sensed the aura of the existence of the spiritual beast.

"It's just a horde of third-rate spiritual beasts, so I won't intervene" said Qian Zhou who also felt the aura of the spiritual beast.

Not long after, a pack of twenty wolves appeared from a distance, they were all third level spiritual beasts and only the leader of the group was second level.

Qian Zhou clenched his fists, he really did not expect that the leader of the wolves was level two, yet he could still defeat him without any help from anyone.

"Just calm down, I'll beat him in one strike." Qian Zhou said confidently, then took out a sword from his spatial ring.

After which, Qian Zhou coated his sword with spiritual energy, then darted forward and charged towards the leader of the wolves, but his attack was instead averted.

"Damn it, the movement is very nimble!" qian Zhou said annoyedly.

On the other hand, Yin Feng along with the other five disciples seemed to be busy dealing with the wolves. Actually, Yin Feng could have killed them easily, yet he was not willing to show his strength yet.

The reason was the same as Qian Zhou, Yin Feng only wanted to save manpower to deal with stronger opponents, because during in the wilderness, they would definitely face a strong opponent.

Other than spiritual animals, there were still other groups that they would definitely encounter later on. Therefore, Yin Feng saved his strength as much as possible, because a fight could happen at any time.

Thanks to the good cooperation, Yin Feng and the other five disciples managed to defeat the wolves, it didn't even take long for them to slaughter the pack.

As for Qian Zhou, he was still facing one on one with the leader of the wolves. He also seemed to have a little difficulty fighting the wolf because his movements were very agile.

If comparing strength, Qian Zhou was certainly stronger than the leader of the wolves, but unfortunately he did not have high speed, because all this time only focused on increasing strength.

In the world of cultivation, strength is very important and becomes a priority, but strength must also be supported by other abilities and one of them is speed.

A cultivator who only attach great importance to strength, would definitely have a hard time facing an agile opponent. In addition, his movements and attacks will also be easily read by opponents.

Therefore, Qian Zhou was made quite difficult to face the leader of the wolf pack, even though the power that Qian Zhou had was much higher than the leader of the wolves.

"Chairman, we're done" said one of the students.

"Then help me distract this fucking wolf!" qian Zhou.

"Sorry, chief. But we all have to save energy."

"Help me now!"

"Let me alone" Yin Feng said, then darted forward towards the wolf.

A slash!

They were all stunned when they saw Yin Feng's extremely fast attack, even they were unaware of when Yin Feng launched an attack on the leader of the wolves.

They had all indeed seen Yin Feng darting towards the wolf, yet not seeing when Yin Feng attacked, all they saw was Yin Feng moving past the wolf leader.

"Did you see the attack?"

"No, I can't see the attack at all."

"His speed was truly incredible, it was only fitting that the patriarch made him a disciple."

"Your voice is too loud, if Qian Zhou hears it, we will all be in trouble."

"How about we make Feng Huang the chairman?"

"I'm also thinking the same thing, but Qian Zhou won't just shut up and we'll never settle down."

"Of course, for now we just follow his wishes."
