Chapter 47: Adamantine
What Cloud Leopard said shocked Sun Jizu .
However, he jumped onto a nearby tree as soon as he could . He glanced in the northwest direction and his body clearly froze in place .
He yelled to the people below the tree, “Two Giant Adamantine Apes are headed in our direction two kilometers out from the northwest!”
Giant Adamantine Apes were high-tier Vicious Beasts . Their strength was roughly equivalent to a low-layer Blood Boiling Cultivator .
Team Bright might be able to take on one of them, but battling two simultaneously was not easy .
In particular, Zheng Xia and the others had gone all-out against the Mountain Demon, expending a significant amount of Origin Energy .
Even Zheng Xia’s expression changed . He barked, “Hurry and take care of that one and we’ll leave!”
Cloud Leopard slashed out using the Thunder Blade at a nearby tree .
With a howl, the Mountain Demon was sent flying from the tree . Before it even touched the ground, it became the recipient of Su Chen, Iron Cliff, and Wang Doushan’s warm hospitality .
Cloud Leopard said, “There’s no need . After all, it’s just two Giant Adamantine Apes . ”
Yan Fuxing began to yell, “Just two Giant Adamantine Apes? They are both high-tier Vicious Beasts, and…… and……”
He was too ashamed to utter the words “and we expended too much Origin Energy” .
Although he appeared extremely majestic and dominant when battling, the way that he spoke made him seem a bit dumb and silly .
Cloud Leopard coldly laughed and wanted to retort, but Su Chen sent a strengthened Erupting Firebird at the Mountain Demon, ending its life before it could jump to another tree . Then he said, “Were those two Giant Adamantine Apes headed our way?”
Sun Jizu froze for a moment before nodding .
Su Chen said, “They were attracted by the commotion . Although Giant Adamantine Apes are large oafs, they have a sensitive sense of smell, allowing them to follow our scent . Their temperaments are very poor; if they want something, they will chase relentlessly after it . Unless you plan on running away for a very long time, it’s best to just take care of them . ”
“Two high-tier Vicious Beasts are not easy to take care of!” Zheng Xia directly identified the most prominent issue .
“While one person attracts the attention of one of them, the rest can take care of the other one . Is seven-on-one good enough?” Su Chen asked .
Zheng Xia knitted his eyebrows . “Taking them down one at a time? It’s not impossible, but the person responsible for attracting the one will be in danger . In addition, the Giant Adamantine Apes have already formed a pair, so it might not be so easy to separate them . ”
Su Chen pulled out vial of medicine . “This is the Beast Drawing Medicine . It serves as a strong attractor for most Vicious Beasts . I will use it to attract one of them while you deal with the other . ”
The eyes of Zheng Xia and the others lit up .
However, Zheng Xia still resisted . “But if that’s the case, you’ll be the one in danger . ”
“No worries . You should know that an alchemist has many cards up his sleeves,” Su Chen laughed . “If I really can’t hold out, I still have this . ”
Su Chen pulled out another vial of medicine .
Beast Repellant Medicine .
This was not the fake medicine that Yan Wushuang had tried to give him before . Su Chen had personally concocted it .
Upon seeing Su Chen casually pull out so many medicines, Zheng Xia was speechless . The gaze he used to look at Su Chen with changed slightly .
Originally, Su Chen was just a cowardly and greedy person in his eyes, but now it seemed that at the very least the term “cowardly” could not be applied to him .
He stared at Su Chen, genuine gratefulness in his eyes . “Since that’s the case, then I’ll leave it to you . Delaying the Giant Adamantine Ape for the time it takes a single stick of incense to burn should be enough . ”
“No problem,” Su Chen smiled .
“Fine . Jizu, check to see how close the Giant Adamantine Ape has gotten,” Zheng Xia said .
“Half a kilometer out,” Cloud Leopard interjected before Sun Jizu could even return to the treetops .
“……”
“Do I still even need to look?” Sun Jizu asked, slightly befuddled .
“……”
The Giant Adamantine Apes arrived very quickly .
These massive apes were almost twenty feet tall . Strictly speaking, they could not be considered giant beasts . The name “Giant Ape”, therefore, was slightly exaggerated, and their name did not exactly reflect reality .
However, the Giant Adamantine Apes possessed a bloodline that contained a trace of an ancient giant beast’s bloodline . A few Giant Adamantine Apes could surpass the Vicious Beast stage and become Demonic Beasts . They would become real Giant Adamantine Apes, at which point their bodies would really become massive .
Regardless, they were already extremely large .
Their large bodies granted them great physical power . They did not have any concealment abilities like the Mountain Demons, but they were unimaginably powerful . They could casually pull up a tree by its roots and use it as a weapon, slamming it towards their target; this makeshift weapon was much more powerful than any Origin Skill .
Barbaric, crude, and powerful – those were all words that accurately described them .
They were the body cultivators of the Vicious Beasts, relying on their physical prowess to dominate the mountains .
Once the two Giant Adamantine Apes appeared, Su Chen smeared the Beast Drawing Medicine on himself as they had planned .
The two Giant Adamantine Apes charged towards Su Chen as if they were in heat .
Zheng Xia and the others forcefully restricted one . Furious attacks were the best way to draw aggression . Even the Beast Drawing Medicine could not compare to the stimulation brought on by pain .
The male giant ape let out an enraged howl before charging towards Zheng Xia’s team . Su Chen took advantage of the opportunity to back off, attracting the female giant ape away .
He needed to back off quite a distance . The two giant apes were obviously a pair . If one of them was in danger, the other one would definitely try to save them – the Beast Drawing Medicine emitted a fragrance that Vicious Beasts liked, but it was not able to bewitch and enchant them completely .
The discrepancy in intelligence manifested itself .
While the two Giant Adamantine Apes were together, Team Bright carefully controlled the power of their attacks, focusing primarily on delaying the beasts .
But after the female giant ape had been drawn away, they began to strengthen their attacks .
Boom!
A pair of vicious rings slammed onto the Giant Adamantine Ape’s body, releasing a dazzling light .
The Giant Adamantine Ape’s skin and flesh were tough, but after being struck it still let out a pained howl .
“Don’t use Origin Skills!” Cloud Leopard yelled . “The other one hasn’t gone very far yet, and it will return if it hears these howls . Wait a bit longer until they’re farther away and then we can attack at full-force!”
“But if that’s the case, Su Chen will be in danger!” Du Qing yelled .
“Trust me, he won’t die,” Cloud Leopard replied .
Du Qing glared at him fiercely, her eyes filled with anger .
Cloud Leopard couldn’t understand what Du Qing’s expression meant when she said, “I was wrong . I thought that you were his friend, but it turns out you don’t care whether or not he lives or dies . ”
What? Cloud Leopard was stunned .
Thankfully, Iron Cliff followed up . “Master will be fine . It’s just a high-tier Vicious Beast; he can take care of it . ”
Du Qing, Zheng Xia, and the others rolled their eyes at Iron Cliff’s words, none of them taking seriously .
But since Iron Cliff and Cloud Leopard had said so, they could only continue to delay until Cloud Leopard gave the word to attack seriously .
BOOM!
A raging torrent of Origin Skills slammed down simultaneously .
Du Qing yelled, “Go all-out! Don’t conserve any of your strength . The earlier we take care of this guy, the more quickly we can save Su Chen . He won’t be able to last for long . ”

Hundred Refinements Pavilion .
A brawny student walked out from one of the rooms within the main hall, a satisfied smile on his face .
The skinny student laughed when he saw this . “Congratulations . It seems you cleared the fourteenth room?”
The student nodded his head in satisfaction . “Yep . Damn, facing four mid-tier Vicious Beasts is really difficult . Thankfully, my He Zhenshan’s Overlord Body Technique reached the stage of large success, allowing me to barely scrape by . ”
“Then do you want to try the fifteenth room?” The skinny student, like usual, egged him on . Watching others fail brought him the greatest pleasure .
The brawny student waved his hands . “Forget about it . The fifteenth room contains a high-tier Vicious Beast, equivalent to a Blood Boiling Realm existence . I don’t want to tackle that yet . I’m not like those five monsters . I’ll probably wait until next year to tackle it . Clearing the fourteenth room by the end of my fourth year is already enough to satisfy me . ”
Even in a world dominated by Bloodline Nobility Clans, differences in status were not absolute . However, high-tier Vicious Beasts were not easy to deal with .
To the brawny He Zhenshan, the fifteenth room was something that he could only temporarily look forward to .
“There’s six of them now,” the skinny student replied lazily .
“What did you say?” He Zhenshan froze . “Are you saying that, amongst us fourth-year students, another person cleared the fifteenth room?”
“It happened this morning,” the skinny student replied .
