Chapter 147: Exterminating the Demonic Beast (1)

“AHHHH!!”

“Damn you, Su Chen, you’re inhuman! Are you trying to torture me to death?”

“I’m not playing anymore! I don’t want to play anymore! Get off of me!”

“What Totemic Medicine? This is torture! This is definitely a form of torture used by the Ferocious Race!”

Within the stone-walled cavern, Fatty Wang was howling in pain . The only thing everyone could do was look at one another .

“Is it really that painful?” The short, lean Shui Dong was in disbelief .

Because Origin Qi Scholars possessed powerful physiques and spent most of their time cultivating, they had an extremely high tolerance for pain .

Some people could even endure broken bones and deep wounds; it was much rarer for people like this damn fatty to howl and wail from just having a few inscriptions drawn on them .

Pi Yuanhong nodded in sympathy . “It really is painful!”

After a long time, Wang Doushan’s cries finally stopped .

When he reemerged from the stone cavern, everyone burst into laughter .

Wang Doushan’s upper half was naked . On his right arm was a fierce, bold navy-blue inscription in the shape of a beast baring its teeth . It was truly quite fearsome .

However, only his right arm had an inscription on it .

There was nothing on his left arm .

Su Chen explained, “He thought it was too painful . After I finished inscribing his right arm, he wouldn’t let me touch his left arm . ”

Everyone burst into laughter .

Wang Doushan said in embarrassment, “It really did hurt . ”

Totemic Medicine caused a different kind of pain . It directly assaulted a person’s consciousness . Not only was it painful, but it also caused extreme soreness .

Wang Doushan was no stranger to brutal battles . He just had an extremely hard time tolerating this type of pain, so in the end, he could only endure for as long as it took to inscribe his right arm .

One thing that Wang Doushan had said was absolutely correct . In its earliest forms, the Totemic Medicine was in fact used by the Ferocious Race to torture others . Afterwards, they unintentionally discovered that it could activate a person’s Blood Qi . Thus, they turned it into their own unique inscription technique .

To the Ferocious Race, these Totemic Inscriptions were not only the source of their power but also a symbol of their powerful will .

Those who could endure the process of having their entire bodies covered in inscriptions definitely possessed great willpower .

Thus, dividing the Ferocious Race youths into categories of strength was very simple – it depended on how many inscriptions their bodies had .

The more inscriptions they had, the more vicious they were . This was an indisputable truth .

“No worries . The right arm should be enough . Actually, it’s not necessarily a bad thing to have fewer inscriptions . You consume less of your Blood Qi . After all, if a person gets good enough with a weapon, only one is necessary . ”

“What about the second part of the plan?” He Yuandong asked .

“I need a live Vicious Beast,” Su Chen replied .

An hour later, a captured Vicious Beast was brought before Su Chen .

Su Chen pulled out a vial of medicine and forced it down the Vicious Beast’s mouth .

“This is a Strengthened Weakening Medicine . Taking it will greatly weaken one’s body . ”

He Yuandong understood his intentions . “You want to bait that Demonic Beast into eating it?”

Su Chen nodded .

“How effective is it?” Feng Yigu asked .

“High-tier Weakening Medicines can cause the target’s strength to decrease by 40% or so, but because I gave it to a Vicious Beast first instead of directly giving it to the Demonic Beast, the effect should be lower . If I had to guess, it might be around 20% . ”

He Yuandong nodded . “If it’s just a low-tier Demonic Beast, 20% will be enough . ”

This wasn’t the same as the earlier four-man test, where they were being chased by a Demonic Beast . At that time, the Demonic Beasts were only fed fake medicines, and the students were limited to four-person teams .

Now, however, there were ten or more powerful students battling a weakened Demonic Beast . Their odds of success had greatly increased .

He Yuandong, Su Chen, Feng Yigu, Pi Yuanhong, Shen Yucheng, and Shen Longcheng were all within the top ten; Wang Doushan, Shi Jiangbai, Cang Ruzhi, and Shui Dong were all within the top twenty; Wu Xiao, number 21, wasn’t weak either, and he would be able to handle himself . Jiang Hanfeng and Ji Ruoyu were somewhat weaker in comparison, but they had some tricks up their sleeves . The Concealment Formation master Ma Xuan was selected to remain behind, and he had to keep watch and prevent the stone mountain from being invaded .

Just as they were about to depart, two more people arrived: Wang Xuan’an and Wei Yang .

Wang Xuan’an was the student who originally had tried to suppress Cloud Leopard, but this was all in the past now . No matter their past grievances, they needed to band together against the Ferocious Race . Wang Xuan’an was ranked 29th and wasn’t weak in the slightest, and his arrival gave everyone renewed vigor .

Wei Yang was an eighth-year student who was skilled in Origin Formations . His student number was 35, and he was even weaker than Jiang Hanfeng, but having him here was better than not having him .

The fifteen of them set out for the forest .

Upon arriving, everyone headed for the agreed-upon location . Su Chen placed the drugged Vicious Beast there according to the plan, then lit a Beast Drawing Incense specifically designed for Demonic Beasts . Everyone concealed themselves well and lay in wait .

Not long after, a massive Demonic Beast covered in purple scales emerged from the depths of the forest .

It had a very small head and a very long tail . It walked upright on the back of its two massive tails .

Perhaps because it had been the king of the jungle for too long, the Demonic Beast clearly had no wariness . Its hunger was aroused by the drugged Vicious Beast, and it pounced immediately to devour it .

As it tore into the Vicious Beast over and over, everyone silently waited . Apart from Wu Xiao, the others didn’t even glance at the Demonic Beast – Demonic Beasts had uncanny perceptive abilities, and Su Chen and the others would be discovered almost instantaneously .

Only Wu Xiao’s Clairvoyant Beast Bloodline could counter this perception .

When the purple-scaled beast had finally consumed its meal, Wu Xiao, who had been staring intently at the target, said, “The medicine is beginning to take effect . Its strength has gone down by 25%, better than we expected . We can make a move now . ”

After he said that, he let out a long sigh . He had expended a ton of energy to protect himself, and he could finally let out the pressure .

With this sigh, the purple-scaled beast detected their presence for the first time . It turned around at looked right at them and lowdly howled .

“Finally! I’ve been waiting for too long!” Wang Doushan laughed maniacally as he leapt out of the brush and charged the purple-scaled beast .

Upon seeing Wang Doushan appear, the purple-scaled beast opened its mouth and spat out a purplish-black streak of light .

This streak of light congealed into the image of a blade, emanating a killing aura as it ripped through the air towards Wang Doushan .

It slammed into Wang Doushan’s Water Crystal Barrier and shattered it immediately, causing shards of crystal to fly everywhere .

The blow then proceeded to strike Wang Doushan . His large body flew into the air in response, and a splash of blood flew through the air .

That single blow was enough to break through his barrier and injure him .

Demonic Beasts were indeed incredibly powerful .

Even so, that was the extent of the damage it had inflicted .

Boom!

His massive body slammed heavily into the ground, creating a crater .

A trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth .

He wiped away the blood and said fiercely, “Pretty powerful! But I can handle it!”

As he spoke, the wounds on his body began to heal . The deep wound he had just received was already beginning to disappear .

“So what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” He Yuandong yelled .

If the meat shield could take the hits, they were likely going to win the battle .

“Charge!”

Everyone charged forwards simultaneously .
