"Young Master Chu Xun, you have also arrived."
"Oh, these fierce beasts are truly terrifying. But fortunately, Young Master Chu Feng arrived in time. Otherwise, I can't even imagine what would have happened."
When he saw Chu Xun, several miners ran over with frightened expressions on their faces.
"Ah?" At this moment, Chu Xun realized that there were nine of these beasts, five of them being first-level beasts, three of them being second-level beasts, and one being a third-level beast.
These beasts were nothing to him, but he felt that Chu Feng should not be able to handle them. Could it be that Chu Feng had reached the fourth level of Spirit Martial Arts?
Even if Chu Feng had the strength of the fourth level of Spirit Martial Arts, it was impossible for him to deal with so many beasts in such a short time.
"Chu Xun, thank you."
Just as Chu Xun was puzzled, Chu Feng smiled at him, and there was actually a hint of gratitude in his smile.
At this moment, Chu Xun was completely stunned. There was a vague unease spreading in his heart. Without thinking, he quickly headed towards the mining vein.
"Young Master Chu Feng, were all these killed by you?" Uncle Zhang looked at the one after another lifeless beasts and felt incredulous.
He had heard that Chu Feng was a useless person and had remained at the level of Martial Arts Training Second for many years. Even if he entered the Inner Gate of the Blue Dragon Sect now, he would be at most the level of Martial Arts Training Third. How could he kill so many beasts, and do it so quickly?
"Otherwise?" Chu Feng put away his smile and looked at Uncle Zhang. His gaze no longer showed the previous kindness, but was filled with a hint of coldness.
"No... No... There's nothing. I was just asking casually."
Seeing Chu Feng like this, Uncle Zhang was scared and kept backing away. A large amount of cold sweat trickled down from his forehead.
"Uncle Zhang, you have been in Chu Family for so many years. How did you become so confused as you get older?"
"Remember, as a servant, ask what should be asked, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, do what should be done, and don't do what shouldn't be done."
Chu Feng's words had a meaning, scaring Uncle Zhang white. For a moment, he couldn't say a word, but his body was trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing him like this, Chu Feng sneered. This further proved that his suspicion was correct.
"Young Master Chu Feng, what should we do with these beasts? Should we send them back to Chu Mansion?"
Several dozen miners gathered around.
"Just a few beasts. There's no need to alarm the people in the mansion. These beasts, you can take home to eat."
Chu Feng waved indifferently and then headed towards Chu Mansion.
"Thank you, Young Master Chu Feng."
The miners were ecstatic. Beasts were rare and valuable things that could be trained. Although their skin was as hard as iron, the meat was tender and delicious. It was said that eating them not only strengthened the body but also prolonged life. Every part was precious, and it was a valuable thing.
But such precious beasts, Chu Feng actually gave them to them. How could they not be happy? Especially when they saw Chu Feng, bare-handed, killing all the beasts in an instant, these miners had the utmost respect for Chu Feng.
Near the mining vein, Chu Xun arrived at the place where he had discovered the beasts earlier. After observing that there was no one around, he walked up to a big tree and jumped up. When he landed, there was a wooden box with small holes in his hand.
"Your Senior Master was right. Although this thing can attract the beasts, the beasts can't find it. It's really a good thing for luring the beasts to attack."
"But attracting the beasts from deep mountains, apart from the Spirit Pearl, ordinary spirit medicines really can't do it."
While speaking, Chu Xun opened the wooden box, but when the box was opened, Chu Xun's face suddenly changed. Because he was astonished to find that the wooden box originally containing the Spirit Pearl was empty.
"How could this be? Where is the Spirit Pearl?" Chu Xun plopped down on the ground, his face pale and without a trace of color.
Although this wooden box was passed on to him by his Senior Master, the Spirit Pearl was his father's. It was what his father bought at a high price to use for breaking through to the ninth level of Spirit Martial Arts. If his father knew, losing the Spirit Pearl would definitely mean having his skin torn off.
"Could it be...." Suddenly, Chu Xun recalled the scene where Chu Feng thanked him earlier. Instantly, he understood something. Holding the wooden box in his hand, he gritted his teeth and said, "Chu Feng, I'm not done with you yet."
Meanwhile, Chu Feng had already returned to his room and closed the door. From his waist, he took out a spirit-encircling pearl and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.
"Chu Xun, you really deserve thanks. After going through such a long and complicated process, and going through so much trouble, just to give me this precious item to help me break through to the sixth level of Spirit Martial Arts. Hmph, you really make a good brother, don't you?"
Chu Xun couldn't have imagined that Chu Feng had spiritual power. Even though the wooden box could confuse the sense of smell of fierce beasts, it couldn't interfere with Chu Feng's spiritual power.
When Chu Feng arrived, he immediately discovered the wooden box where the spirit pearl was stored and concluded that this was an artificial trap set up.
On the way down the mountain, after seeing the astonished expressions of Chu Xun and Master Zhang, Chu Feng basically determined that it was these two people who were working together to play a trick on him, but they couldn't have imagined that they ended up suffering a great loss instead of getting caught.
"Ah Mu"
The spirit pearl entered his abdomen and instantly transformed into a huge amount of spiritual energy. However, before the huge amount of spiritual energy could spread, it was swallowed by the suction force in his Dan Tian.
At this moment, Chu Feng seemed to be able to hear the chewing sound like a hungry wolf coming from within his Dan Tian.
When the sound disappeared, a tremendous change occurred within his Dan Tian. Nine thunderous beasts roared and underwent another transformation.
And when everything returned to normal, a much stronger amount of spiritual energy than before burst out from his Dan Tian and filled every part of Chu Xun's body.
"Sixth level of Spirit Martial Arts" Chu Xun opened his eyes and a smile of excitement appeared on his lips.
If entering the sixth level of Spirit Martial Arts at the age of fifteen could be considered a genius, then someone like Chu Feng, who broke through from the second level to the sixth level in less than two months, could only be described with two words - "monstrous!"
Time flew by, and in no time, it was the day of the Chu family gathering.
This so-called gathering was not just a simple internal meeting within the Chu family, but a display of the Chu family's strength to the outside world.
In the martial arts arena of the town of Dependence, it was overcrowded. Not only the powerful families of the town came to watch, but also many nearby forces were attracted.
These external forces were either invited or came out of admiration, but their purpose was the same - to see the current strength of the Chu family.
So when the main members of the Chu family appeared, the heat of this martial arts arena immediately rose to the boiling point.
"Look, that's the head of the Chu family, Chu Yuanbao."
People first turned their attention to the elderly man at the head of the group. Although the old man was in his sixties, he was broad-shouldered and had a vigorous gait. Especially beneath those snow-white eyebrows, there was a hint of authority that made people feel a sense of awe.
This was the grandfather of Chu Feng and others, Chu Yuanbao, the head of the Chu family and the only master in the Chu family who had reached the Yuanwu realm.
"Behind Chu Yuanbao is the Chu family's six sons, right? As expected, all of them have an imposing bearing and extraordinary demeanor. But I wonder who will inherit as the new head of the family."
"Why be in a hurry? I heard that today at the Chu family gathering, the old man Chu will announce his abdication, and the new head of the family will be selected."
"So it seems that there will be a wonderful show today."
Just thinking about the main event of today's Chu family gathering, people couldn't contain their excitement.
